I can't say enough good things about this PC. I play Warhammer 2 with graphics settings on Ultra with no issues. There is literally no game that this PC can't play. The Solid state drive is excellent! I have a heavily modded flight sim that usually takes forever to load but this PC loads it's up very quick. I am very happy with the Alienware computer and with Best Buys customer service. When I went in to pick up the item, they told me that it went on sale and credited the difference in money back to my card. Very happy with this purchase.

I was in the market to upgrade/update my existing game rig and had priced out the individual components I wanted. When I saw this unit on sale over the holidays, a friend who was with me convinced me that for the price, this was a pretty decent compromise vs. acquiring the parts I had in mind separately , and because it was already built, I could obviously save myself the potential headaches of another computer build. Admittedly, building your own computer is a fun and rewarding experience, and you can save yourself a few dollars here and there, but I really didn't want to this time around and so this R5 seemed like a good choice. I particularly liked the smaller, sleeker case (compared to the NZXT Phantom I currently owned) and the creative use of space on the inside is a nice feature. This R5 marks the 4th Alienware computer in my home, and I have been pleased with every one of them. I brought the R5 home, set it up and was rocking Overwatch at 120+FPS on ultra in no time. I replaced the single 16Gb RAM with 4x4Gb DDR4 as well as added 2 SSD's to the provided 2.5" bays and I was delighted at how easy it was to access everything. I don't see the GTX 1070 needing to be upgraded anytime soon, but the fact that I could drop in a 1080 (or even 2 GPU's in SLI) at some point is a nice option. For the price, I think you'd be hardpressed to find a better deal in terms of components, packaging and performance. I am EXTREMELY pleased with my purchase, and I am glad my friend talked me into it at the store........because that's what friends do: they enable.
