I never realized how bad my old computer was until I got this thing. I don't normally buy HP, because I've had issues in the past. This seemed like an affordable Gaming PC that I could upgrade later if I needed to. I have nothing but good to say about this system so far. I did immediately upgrade the RAM to 16GB, and got a 5TB external to store files, because the internal storage is lacking (for me and probably any gamer). With the RAM upgrade, I haven't had any glitches, and the BIOS updated flawlessly (an issue I've had in the past with HP). The 5TB external is more than I think I'll use in the next 5 years (I do digital art as well, so those files are pretty big). I would recommend this as an entry gaming PC.
