This PC is everything that I wanted. I bought this PC to run a lot of programs at once and still run smooth. I'll have spotify, ableton, and google chrome with 10+ tabs open and it still runs flawlessly. I can play witcher3 at maximum graphics setting (which is impressive.) with little to no input lag. It works great for people who multitask. One thing that is worth mentioning is the C: drive and the D: drive. The default storage drive for some reason is the C: SSD drive. It only has 250Gb of space. I ran out of space after downloading a few large games. I would recommend changing your default storage drive to D: that is the drive that has your 2Tb of storage space.

Started working more with 4k video. My old PC couldn't handle it. Did some research and for the first time decided to buy such expensive machine. But I am very happy. Works perfect with all adobe software, rendering of 4k video is fast. Everything moves fast. Just such high quality from this machine. And I know it will be a powerful tool for at least the next 5 years.

For $ 1,299 (in Dec 2017) you can't really get much more computer than this. They tag this as a Gaming system, but I got it because I wanted a cheaper Workstation computer solution. If you're wanting a gaming system, to be honest I don't think this configuration is for you. The Good: - AMD Ryzen 1700X is great for a Workstation computer (supposedly not as great for gaming), and very reasonably priced. Very good value-for-dollar. - Lots of RAM, but more important it's 2x16 (meaning dual-channel) -- this is one of the reasons I didn't get the other configuration (1800X with 16GB RAM), because it was 1x16. - SSD Drive makes rebooting system, and installing/launching apps very fast. 2TB secondary drive is great if you're a developer of some sort. - Decent Video card -- the RX580 isn't a high-end card but it's no slouch either. Unless you're an avid gamer, this will suit you fine. It has 1 HDMI and 3 Display Ports -- I am currently running 3 monitors with it (all through the Display Ports). - I've thrown Adobe CC software, some Android app developer software, and some Virtual Machines at it, and it hasn't skipped a beat. I haven't played any games on it but if I ever do, I'll update the review. The Not So Good: - Power Supply is 460W. For general purposes this is fine. But if you ever plan on upgrading other parts in the future, you may find you need a better Power Supply. - No Liquid Cooling. Again, at $1,299 this is a lot of computer... but the lack of Liquid Cooling means if you really tax your system, the fans will turn on -- and they aren't quiet. - Comes with an HDMI cable instead of Display Port. Why is this a negative... well, because I believe in order to use FreeSync at 75Hz, it needs to be connected via Display Port. So it would've been nice if they included a DP cable instead of HDMI (or maybe even one of each!). - Maybe this is nitpicking, but the keyboard and mouse feel VERY cheap, plus they are both wired. I'm guessing this is just their usual stock peripherals, but for $1,299 you'd think they might throw something just a little nicer in there. They work fine, nonetheless. - A bit of bloatware on it. It comes with McAfee for a year free -- but I hate McAfee, so I removed it. There's also a few other unnecessary programs, but they're easy enough to remove. tldr; Very good system for the price if you're looking for a decent Workstation computer without having to spend nearly $2K for it. Probably not the best setup for gaming, and they do skimp on a couple items, but for designers, developers, professionals... you'd be hard pressed to find a better configuration at a cheaper price.
