Key Specs
- Processor Model: AMD FX-Series (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

A computer with room for improvement
When looking for a computer, I wanted something that had good pre installed hardware but allowed me to get experience on upgrading computer hardware. As much as the PC was packed very snug, there was no inner cushioning in the case, and I believe that's what caused the rear fan in mine to wobble while spinning. I don't know if there was an option for extra packaging but if there is, I recommend you get that. This thing is taking cool to the extreme (as far as fans go) with it's case design. Air flow is great and as much as it has two vent areas meant for more fans to be mounted, it pretty much invites dust to come in and snuggle with the motherboard. The fans themselves are also great as they glow red while cooling your system. But the fans aren't whisper quite as you will always hear the fans almost subtle hum. It's not as bad as I made it sound. For the average gamer, you'll probably be gaming so hard that you won't even notice or care. To add more about the case, the wires inside are so aesthetically pleasing that a college computer professor could shed a tear from it's clean organization and very pleasing zip tie job. As it has already said in the specs, is already has Windows 8 pre installed which I wasn't looking forward to at first but after using it for a bit I got accustomed to Microsoft's new approach to the OS's updated UI. The best part about Windows 8 is that it boots up REALLY fast. When powering on, you will be at the login screen within 15 seconds. This comes with a gaming keyboard and mouse and both of which exceeds my expectations and they are both very nice quality and won't have me going out and trying to find replacements anytime soon. One thing to be aware of is that the graphics card does have an HDMI output on it, so Best Buy needs to update the specs. I've read many people complain about the power supply going bad and I did not have this problem. As much as the computer is already good in the specs, I improved mine with an 850w power supply and replaced the Nvidia graphics with an AMD Radeon 7750 for now. I have also added a dual band Cisco wireless thumb drive as this computer does not have wireless. If you're looking for a PC project to unleash some gaming power, this is a great candidate! If you're looking for a good gaming computer, out of the box, you will be able to run any Valve game with great quality but don't expect to be playing any high-end games like Battlefield 3.

good starter for custom build
I bought this computer for a gaming/autocad work station so far its running great. I was a little worried about the power supply so i swapped it out for a heavier duty one. I play alot of league of ledgends with it and it runs great on high settings and it hold a solid 60 fps in even the largest team fights. Also looks great on tomb raider and the witcher 2. Only issues I really have are cable management space and the case design almost makes water cooling mandatory in a bigger build because of the cpu placement it is to high and blocks two fan or radiator locations.

Great Cheap Gaming Computer
After my laptop died, I needed to get a new computer for gaming. Only working part-time, and being in school doesn't leave me with a lot of money left over to spend. I enjoy 3D games that require a good computer, (ex. World of Warcraft, The Sims 3, etc.) but don't have the kind of money to dump $1,000 on a gaming computer. This computer is an incredibly good value for the money in my opinion. I personally got it while it was on sale, and the computer runs lightning quick. I've loaded on World of Warcraft and The Sims 3 to see how games run on this, and they both run incredibly smooth with graphics on the "high" setting. Luckily, I've not encountered any problems with the computer thus far, though the fan that cools the computer can be slightly noisy at times, it isn't anything that raises a red-flag so to speak. In summary, it's a great computer for the price, runs games well, and is an amazing value.
