Our Take

The HP Victus 15L TG02-1009na is a compact entry-level gaming desktop pairing a 13th Gen Intel Core i5 with a dedicated RTX 3050 GPU. Aimed at budget-conscious gamers wanting solid 1080p performance without a full-tower rig, it sits at the affordable end of the gaming PC market, though the modest RAM allocation means some tinkering may be needed to get the best from it.

Key Features

Intel Core i5-13400F processor, 10 cores (6 performance + 4 efficient) for strong multi-threaded performance

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 with 8GB of GDDR6 memory, suited to 1080p gaming

8GB DDR4 system memory, upgradeable via accessible internal slots

512GB PCIe NVMe SSD for fast boot and load times, though capacity is on the smaller side

Compact 15-litre case design, easier to fit on or under a desk than a standard tower

Mica Silver finish, a more understated look than typical RGB-heavy gaming rigs

Our Verdict

A sensible pick for anyone wanting an affordable, space-saving 1080p gaming PC without shopping around for parts. Worth budgeting for a RAM upgrade early on. Those wanting smoother 1440p performance, more storage headroom, or greater upgrade flexibility should look at a higher-tier or full-tower alternative.

What We Like

  • Capable CPU for the price point, handles gaming and everyday tasks well
  • RTX 3050 offers genuine 1080p gaming performance, including ray tracing at lower settings
  • Small footprint makes it easy to place in tighter spaces
  • Fast NVMe storage for snappy general responsiveness

Things to Consider

  • 8GB of RAM is on the low side for modern gaming and multitasking; a upgrade is worth budgeting for
  • 512GB SSD fills up quickly with modern game installs
  • No onboard graphics fallback if the discrete GPU ever needs replacing
  • Compact case design may limit future upgrade options compared with a full tower
