    I'll probably keep using the CPU and the two existing RAM sticks in combination with an RTX 3060Ti I got cheap from a friend and two additional 4GB RAM sticks on a better ATX board as my daily driver, since the CPU is plenty speedy and the RAM is already running at 1600MT/s, but that HP board is just so horribly barebones.

    And whoever thought to put the 1x slot BELOW the 16x slot, I strongly dislike you!

    The left over components will be used as spares to fix other PCs I know could use some TLC

    A close up of the HP motherboard used in my sub-$50USD PC. Whilst it luckily is standard micro-ATX, it's also lacking a bunch of nice to have ports and headers. There's only two USB 3.0 ports in the rear, for example, and no USB 3.0 header internally. It also only comes with two RAM slots due do its size and only two PCIe slots, one of which is covered by the 16x slot right above it when a two slot tall GPU is installed.
