Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: AMD Ryzen 7 8000 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.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 2000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 32 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.)
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Quality item
I was apprehensive about purchasing this (I hate spending money), but im so glad I did. I do wish it were cheaper, but then again, I wish everything was! The graphics are phenomenal, it runs smoothly and efficiently, and its has pretty lights. I have no issues whatsoever with this purchase/item, I love it! I switched from a gaming laptop to this, so this might not be new advice to those with PCs... but make sure you keep it and the area around it vacuumed regularly because it picks up a lot of dust from the fans, especially if its on the floor!

A really great computer for great specs and price.
By and large it has been a lovely pre-built computer that has been able to run just about anything I want on Steam very well. I became aware of this product while doing AI comparisons on various pre-built computers and was pleased it didn't disappoint. The only one slight con is it being a newer computer, I wasn't exactly sure on how to add an additional internal hard drive to it, but after trial and error I got it alright.

Great gaming PC
Very fast PC! It boots quickly and runs quiet! It has a smaller tower size, so it is not too heavy to move. Lots of USB ports to connect your hardware to. It is also a great price for everything. I recommend this purchase!
