This PC has been amazing so far. Graphics are awesome and the FPS in games have been very high, “solid 120 and above,” including Forza Horizon 4, Destiny 2, and Rainbow Six Siege..just to name what I’ve ran. Just be sure you have a good gaming monitor or you are not going to get the full potential of this graphics card. As far as the fan noise goes, updating the PCs drivers and making sure the graphics card drivers are up to date has kept the fan noise down for me. This PC is air cooled so it will be a little louder than liquid cooled and PC fans tend to differ depending on lay out and case design. This PC is not as loud as my home build. All in all, this was a good purchase and was cheaper than building my own based off of current hardware prices. Would buy again!

Had this thing for a year now and it’s a power house. Sadly like other reviews mention it’s a Dell so you luck out sometimes and other times you run into issues with longevity. The fans are a bit loud sometimes but that’s just processing power (or at least I tell myself that instead of getting a liquid cooled build). Overall she plays any game and I’m satisfied. Easy upgrades for el Gato products and other SSD/HDDs. This computer cannot overclock according to manual, but their control tower software says otherwise. Idk just game and have fun and get a new one in 5 years time. Lots of USB ports and other ports. Couldn’t pass up the price. Oh it’s 39lbs, kinda on the heavier side so you’ll need a heavier duty desk mount like I have.

I bought this machine specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and it handles the game very well. The processor and graphics combination are spectacular and it seems this machine has just the right amount of RAM needed for smooth game play. I would recommend this machine to any of my family or friends looking for a reliable gaming computer. Take note this machine has the 2000 series graphics and the 3000 was just announced.. Cheaper and faster, I’m sure it’ll be coming to Alienware shortly.
