I bought this for my 15 year old son after researching different websites and online stores. It has an i7 6th gen Intel processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card, 2x8GB G.Skill RAM (expandable up to 4x16GB...64GB). It comes with a wired keyboard and a wired mouse. the wired mouse is more reactive than the wireless mouse I already had. My son is playing everything on this PC, including a ton of Steam games. He is playing over wifi since the ethernet plug is on a different wall in his room. No wifi issues at all. The left panel is see through, so you can see lights inside the case. There are also lights on the side of the keyboard. BTW - I read the other 2 reviews that were written at the time of my purchase, so I did not expect a dvd drive (I already have an external, so no big deal) and expected a 1TB drive and the 256 GB SSD drive. This is a very quiet machine. The only problem i had is I didn't notice the Windows 10 Activation code sticker on the right side of the PC to activate Win10.

Received this today. It has no optical drive. All the installation discs are now useless until I buy an EXTERNAL optical drive. The Wifi adapter is weak. My Asus gaming laptop has stronger wifi than this. Overall it's quite lacking, however it is still very strong for gaming. You just need to buy a better wireless adapter and an optical drive to install your discs :).

This product is solid as a whole, but after the issues I dealt with. The computer would not read any peripherals and would not boot properly. After having it brought in to the "Geek Squad" and having the RAM reseated, it worked (which is funny because I tried that along with other troubleshooting before that- and they were properly seated). The computer is a great rig for gaming, and unlike one of the other reviewers I don't see an issue with the wireless. I also read the specifications and noticed there were no optical drives unlike that same reviewer who couldn't read. Don't expect parts that aren't listed. However, I found another problem after getting it running and installing all my programs: My hard drive is actually 1TB instead of the 2 as listed. Calling to see how they handle this. I'd prefer not to have to wait another couple weeks after the only option being to send the computer back when I paid over 2k for with tax. Hoping I just get paid the difference. Product: Good, if it comes with the correct parts you ordered. Experience: Bad. It should not have had any issues straight out of the box and I hopefully shouldn't have to wait around another couple weeks for the correct part or send in the computer and I can get this resolved with a partial refund or something. This will definitely impact my decision in ordering a full rig from Best Buy again.
