I upgraded from an 8 year old computer [1st generation i7, 48Gbs, 1050ti) and expected this computer to be mind blowing, it wasn't but it wasn't bad either. The startup is really fast, and it's a beautiful. I'm sure it's a killer gaming computer but I won't be using it for that. Rendering audio files seem to take as long as my original computer but the rep said "The computer will get faster after it recognizes my usage patterns." I have never heard of that except when using a hybrid hard drive but, yeah... Maybe he's right, who knows. Photoshop seems to be a little slugish as well. I have the protection plan so I will check to see if it's something minor. Bestbuy (in my opinion) makes it seem like the whole unit changes colors, including the fans and this is not correct. Only the LED strip, and the motherboard changes colors. I see lights strips advertised for dirt cheap so you can add more strips if you like but again, the fans' LEDs stay red all the time. The fans stay on at high all the time (except one which is connected to the motherboard). The rep asked me to check the motherboard and even sent me an email with a diagram to see if there is additional fan connections on the motherboard. If there is then I will just need to connect the fans directly to the motherboard for control over the additional fans. There is only room for one additional 3.5 hard drive (for a total of two). Now let's talk about the good. I like the good: It comes with (1) 2.5 SSD, and room for (2) additional SSD. There's 2 slots for (NVMe) SSD(s), one is said to run at a higher speed. NVMe prices reminds me of when 2.5 size SSD used to cost several years ago and the prices will go down soon guess. I have not toyed with the new hard drive to see if I will be able to access my files faster when editing but the stats says it will. I love how you can connect 4 monitors using one video card. 4 monitors help my work flow when editing. There are a ton of usb3.0, and 1 usb 3.1, and usb-C. Bestbuy says there are also usb2.0 but mine doesn't. They could be losing money because of this. Also, it was listed as DDR3 when in fact it's DDR4. I'm not sure if they have fixed this error yet. P.S... There isn't much room in this machine and the wires are jammed in the back.

This pc is insane, mine came with a evga 1080ti, asrock z370 board, & patriot ram. Very customizable, I could care less about the led strip & remote since it doesn't change the color of the fans. It can handle 4k gaming smooth as butter (Hellblade & shadow of mordor) but does start to get hot after awhile but hey thats why its liquid cooled right? It also excels at 2k gaming and pretty much every game so far has auto spec to ultra even fallout 4 with the high texture pack. I haven't tried VR yet but i have faith in this beast. Also I originally bought the pc for $2499 then got $400 back due to it going on sale. I would highly recommend this computer if it is in your price range especially at the sale price($2099), it's not much cheaper if any to build it yourself. I did the research.

Fantastic value for the price. Nicely built. Liquid cooling makes this system very quite. Loaded with all sorts of power. The combination Ryzen 7 1080x, GTX 1080 Ti, 480 GB SSD and 32 GB RAM provides this system with more power and speed than can be imagined. The only surprise was that the GTX 1080 Ti only has HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces. I guess DVI and VGA are being phased out. But all I needed was an HDMI to DVI converter plug to attach an older monitor. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
