A:AnswerHi Josh. Thanks for the questions. HP uses proprietary power supplies with a different type of connector. This Desktop PC has the L81008-800 - 180W power supply installed. This chassis can also use the L64961-800 - 310W power supply, and the connectors should be the same. I hope this helps you. The motherboard has 2 memory slots. One is taken up by a 16GB module, leaving the other one free to add another 16GB module. Memory upgrade information
Dual channel memory architecture (One DIMM per channel)
Two DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets
Supports up to PC4-25600 (DDR4-3200)
Supports 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4 UDIMMs
Supports up to 32 GB (unbuffered) with two 16 GB DIMMs on 64-bit systems
Here are the system specs. You can click on the motherboard specs to see details of the entire system:

A:AnswerThank you for the question. Yes. The Pavilion PVTP01-1160 Desktop has plenty of RAM and a great processor to handle all of the tasks you've described. It would be an excellent choice.
A:AnswerIt should be able to run some games decently. The Ryzen 7 4700G and 4700GE processors have integrated graphics and are the best integrated graphics out there. If it turns out it isn't good enough for your games, you could upgrade by adding a graphics card since this pc has a pci3 slot available. You can look up this video on youtube called "Ryzen 7 4700G with Radeon Graphics" it tests 9 games at 1080p resolution. It can run assassins creed odyssey, tomb raider and others.
A:AnswerHi Howard! Thanks for your interest in HP Pavilion desktop computers. The i7 and Ryzen 7 processors are similar in performance. These computers doe not have dedicated GPUs(graphics processing units) so they are not VR ready. They have plenty of power otherwise and can run some PC games.
A:AnswerThis desktop has 1 VGA port and 1 HDMI port for two monitors. That means one monitor can be connected to the VGA port and the 2nd monitor would be connected to the HDMI port.
