I have to balance this review between actually discussing the computer, and the fact that the market for anything even remotely tech adjacent right now is completely miserable. Yes, everything is expensive, yes, there's no good reason for that, I know. Ignoring those factors, The PC itself is fine. It's mid-range, but it does everything I need it to. If you emulate anything at all, you'll be fine, although if PS5 emulation progresses, you'll want to double the ram. If you're aiming for 1440/60, this'll do basically anything, if you're pushing it higher, it'll handle it okay, I would definitely suggest more ram for that scenario. Indiana Jones hits a locked 60 on 1080p high, Fortnite can be maxed out at locked 60, temps remain pretty cool and the fans remained pretty quiet even while I tested Portal RTX (although this is not the most demanding RTX showcase.) Ports galore, I especially like the front facing USB C port. Separate antennae for WiFi and BlueTooth is always preferred, so we've got that going here Is it "worth the price?" I can't say, I picked it up because my previous rig broke spontaneously and needed an urgent replacement, and this was the spec level I needed. I would obviously recommend waiting for a discount or prices to lower, but that may very well be a fools errand. Great computer, terrible market.

I have enjoyed playing game and taking care of some business at the same time would definitely recommend to any one looking to upgrade or buy a new computer

Purchased when there is a discount, so far I like it
