Customers are impressed with the Gamer Master Desktop's performance and its reasonable price. Many appreciate the ease of setup and the high frames per second achieved in games. However, some customers noted that the fans can be noisy and that the included mouse is of lower quality than expected.
First, I am very happy with this purchase. I run a custom build but I bought this for my nephew as a graduation present; after first dealing with a Newegg DOA with far worse specs for the same amount of money. I highly recommend shipping to-store via Best Buy vs. purchasing from Newegg - I was waiting for a refund for a month with Newegg and they sent me a destroyed ABS system. First, this is the best deal I've found. The HDD's are Western Digital, the SSD is nvme Western Digital as well. 2x 8gb ram sticks, two more available. The RAM brand isn't bad, but not spectacular (Ballistix I believe.) Mobo is ASRock, micro-atx, but still has everything you need. The main thing I didn't care for was the power supply, it's a reasonable Apevia 600W gold plus standard non-modular but I immediately swapped it out for an EVGA 650W SuperNova 10 year gold plus; never hurts to have a spare PSU. The other thing I did was add 3x 120mm fans. I couldn't find specs on this at the time of purchase so I didn't know if it took 120 or 140mm fans - it takes both, 3 of each. Has molex and pin connectors; molex was an easy install, reduced temps. It games well, it mines well. While I see pictures with MSI 1660 Supers, mine came with a Gigabyte 1660 Super OC and I was quite happy about that. It's probably a matter of availability. I think anyone who gives this machine a 1/5 over the keyboard being a piece of crap clearly doesn't know how much these parts cost individually. The GPU and CPU alone cover the entire expense in a scalper market. Took me 2.5 months to find this, and shortly after purchasing it quickly became sold out and/or unavailable in my area. If you can get it, do it. Best Buy offers 2-week hassle-free returns and after that, you have 1-year manufacturer warranty. The box it came in wasn't beat up and was easy to carry out to my car. My nephew lit up just like the RGB's, it's his first desktop so he is very amped! Made a deal with my nephew that I get to mine it when he's not using it to help with the cost, the other investment being in him and his future. 21MH/s without overclock, around 30MH/s with overclock. Always overclock incrementally and be aware there are risks; I didn't overclock until I had watched the temps (high compared to my build, but still reasonable at 60-64 C at full load; though I'll probably attempt to cool that down some more. Seen my nephew playing CS:GO and Minecraft without any lag, but I have to sit down and net_graph and such to check frames. Looked like 200+, at a glance. Can't shake a stick at a Ryzen 7 3700X... it rivals my Intel Ryzen Killer OC'ed to 5ghz w/ AIO on a Cooler Master RGB fan cooler. You won't beat these specs for this price. I wasn't selected in over 20 Newegg Shuffles and I was getting ready to build a system instead. This is an excellent turnout. Hit delete key to get into BIOS. That's where the RGB settings are, the last option at the bottom under the Tools panel. Not my favorite way to deal with RGB but hardly a reason to remove a star. Replace PSU, add 3 120 or 140mm fans, and you're good. CPU is AM4 and you could easily upgrade mobos, ram, and even the chassy with ease. Wire management was great, but be careful around the fan controller if you swap out your PSU/add fans. Came with all components and no damage to any of them. I hope this is helpful!

this is a really good pc for the price. I swear best buy has some of the best price deals with these pcs during the gpu shortage. This is an amazing pc that runs all my games very well, over 100fps on every game I have played, and i also love the sleek minimalistic case. But there are 2 reasons why i am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. 1, best buy delayed my order for a day, it really isn't the biggest issue because i got it the next day but it just kind of sucked. And 2, there was a dent under the front panel of the case and that made me very sad i cry but anyways besides those little things, i recommend this pc!

I've had this computer for 2 years and it still runs great! The graphics are good, not excellent, but it’s expected since the computer isn’t top of the line. The only issue that I ran into waa not having enough hard drive space. That was easily fixed with the second hard drive.
