I'm writing this review on the computer that i purchased, it runs my most resource intensive games at full speed, with Chrome open, which is a ram hog in itself. The computer has a sleek design that fits well with the aesthetic of my room, i already had a headset that matches the computer (not that it really matters). Overall this computer is MORE than i asked for in many ways, it's fast, reliable, and cool looking! the only problem i have is the enter button on the keyboard, that's it for complaints. Would i recommend this to a friend, Absolutely. it's Perfect for the games my friends and i play!

I bought this as my first gaming pc and it has worked perfect since I had it. Mind you it's only been 2 months but what comes with it is enough to run PUBG, FORTNITE, GTA5, all at medium to high settings comfortably. There is plenty of space to upgrade components, graphics cards and the motherboard supports 4 sticks of ram with it already coming with 1 8gb of ram already. The RGB SHOULD BE THE LAST THING YOU CARE ABOUT. Enjoy the build and if you know enough about PC's add it on later like I did.

This is not a bad tower, it's affordable and did the job I sought. I wanted to utilize it to run X-Plane 11 on it. This is a very demanding simulator and the computer handled it like a champ on medium to high settings but leaning more towards medium. Simulators are though, I'm guessing it would do better with regular games. Yes, the whole thing lights up red and you can't change the color. Fortunately and unfortunately my unit came cosmetically defective, the tower has two glass panels, one on each side, and one of the screws on the cable management side of the tower came loose, making me unable to fully close the glass on that side. I took it back to Best Buy and spoke with a manager and told him that I was using the PC to run pretty demanding simulators, and he made me an offer that I couldn't refuse on a more expensive iBuyPower PC (8700K/1080+Liquid Cooled). Anyways, having had both PC's I can say for sure that iBuyPower is awesome, of course, the more expensive one is better but that is to be expected. Now, also having had both, I can say that I like the case on my more expensive one a whole lot better, yes it lights up in all sorts of colors, but that is beside the point, the case just feels better. It has glass only on one side, the side that matters, unlike this case. It also has a dust protector on the top, which this case doesn't have (I like to keep my stuff dust free). I'm only saying this because iBuyPower does use this case on more expensive configurations, and I don't really like this case, but perhaps that is just personal preference. Like I said, for the price, this PC is awesome, and would totally recommend it to a friend.
