Customers praise the product's outstanding performance, impressive graphics, and ease of use. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the motherboard quality, malfunctioning LED lights, and insufficient RAM. There were mixed reviews about the fan, with some users reporting issues while others found it to be quiet.
Runs everything I've thrown at it on max settings. No loud fan noises that others are reporting. The only problem I've had thus far was a game changing the screen refresh rate and blacking me out, but a quick restore took care of it (wouldn't be necessary if I had a second monitor or DVI cable handy). I mainly purchased this as a Photoshop and 3D workstation and it's working wonderfully - anything from the Creative Suite opens in seconds and my models are rendering faster than any system I've had thus far. The only downside is the price. For that price tag I'd expect a SSD or included display, but if you want something powerful that works right out of the box, it fits the bill. I could have pieced a similar rig together for a few hundred less, but the extra money was worth avoiding the time and hassle IMO. I just picked this up in-store, set it up and it worked. One minor flaw was that my keyboard was missing the Enter key on the numpad, but I'm using my own mechanical keyboard anyway so no harm done.

My son has upgraded so many of his own pc's that when it was time for a new one I decided to find him one that didn't need anything. This is the one. He couldn't find anything it needed. Great product.

Although I am not actually a gamer, I was looking for a computer that would have the latest technology and provide the type of performance I require for multimedia production (audio & video recording and mastering). I was also looking for somewhere to purchase it immediately with the ability to return it if there was a malfunction with the product. Of course, when I saw this computer available for pickup at my local Best Buy, I knew I had found the right place and product. This computer has the latest Intel 6th gen i7 6700k processor and and Nvidia GTX 970 compatible video card. I also purchased a SanDisk 240 gb SSD to use as my OS drive (on sale at the time for $60) and an additional 3TB drive (also on sale at the time for appx. $100) to use for extra storage for all my audio and video project files. However, it only comes with 8gb DDR4 ram, which some may argue is equivalent performance to 16 gb of DDR3. It has performed very well as-is for me in my recording studio, but I recently purchased 16gb of DDR4 Corsair Vengeance Ram to be sure I am getting my optimal performance. The case has enough room for more slots, but the mobo only has one additional pci-ex slot for which I ordered and installed a firewire card. So, for those of you who want to use dual GTX cards, this would not be the unit for you as-is. It's design and internal LED lighting feature is cool and adds modern ambiance to my studio decor in addition to its dual blue fans and surprisingly quiet performance. We have also tested several high-end games and found its performance to be smooth and quick, even while using high detail settings. Overall, I have been quite satisfied with my purchase as it was a good deal for everything it came with for the money and I have already recommended it to several friends.
