QuestionBought this early Jan. 2023. What are some of the first recommended upgrades?
Asked 2 years ago by StevenEgg.
- Answer I needed to upgrade the hardware because, at a given time, I will be running Unity, Blender, virtual reality, video editing, multiple IDEs, virtual machines, browser tabs, Netflix, deep learning models, machine learning, simulations, large data sets, etc. Upgrades: - 1TB SSD - probably the first thing to upgrade for most users - 2 x 32GB RAM (yes, I use it) - most developers would be fine with 2 x 16GB RAM - 2TB HDD - super easy to install (open the non-glass panel)

QuestionHow well does the pc run fortnite on mid settings
Asked 2 years ago by Imnotthatsmart12345.
- Answer This PC should have no problem running fort nite at any settings, I use this PC to play VR and it handles VR games on max settings like a hot knife through butter. No I don't play Fortnite, but I play PUBG and it also has no problem on maximum graphics settings. I've only run into a couple of hangups on a couple of games, but again those are Virutal Reality games, I have played every screen game that I own on this computer on max graphics settings, and it has handled them just fine.

QuestionHow well does this computer run Modern Warfare 2
Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Look up benchmark videos on YouTube. It can run max graphics at like 60-100 FPS. Most people don't run max graphics though due to crashes (mainly due to Modern Warfare and not the computer) Hope this helps

QuestionGeekspin reviewed this computer just over one year ago, and it was $999. How, after supply chains are opening back up and chip shortages are easing up, can Best Buy justify selling this computer today for $400 more? Is the hardware different?
Asked 2 years ago by Craig.
- Answer Geekspin's review was for a far lower end version of the Gen 6. Their config had only an i5 CPU and a non_RTX GPU: Quote from that review: "This model features an Nvidia GeForce GTX Super graphics card and the latest 11th generation Core i5 6-core processor." It also had only 8GB of RAM. By contrast, this item here is a Gen 7 with an i7-12700 CPU, 16GB RAM and an Nvidia RTX3060 GPU.

QuestionWhat is power supply for this brand computer? I saw it said it is 650 watt, and I also saw in the Q&A said that its power supply is 500 watt. Which one is correct?
Asked 3 years ago by Eric.
- Answer It believe it is a 500W bronze power supply, according to the data sheet I found that is linked through best buy. The link is the last item of the "overview" part, that says manuals and guides. It shows all possible configurations, which can go up to much higher GPUs, PSUs, etc. But the only PSU that makes sense that this one would have is the 500w bronze. There is no 650W one, so this was probably just a typo in tyhe best buy spec section.

QuestionDoes the motherboard support intel 13th gen for future CPU upgrades? Also, can the graphics card and power supply be upgraded in the future?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No 13th or 14th Gen support yet. I did submit a feedback request to update the bios accordingly. You can upgrade the GPU, PSU, RAM, CPU Cooler, add some fans or AIO, and drives. I've upgraded my RAM to 32GB of DDR5 4800 (runs at 4600 due to mobo limitations), swapped out the 3060 for a triple fan 4070 TUF OC, upgraded my PSU to a Corsair fully modular 750w, added a 2.5" SSD, 2nd m.2 (runs at Gen 3 speeds) and a storage HDD. Everything stays cool and quiet.

QuestionHow easy would it be to swap power supplies? Or transferring cases? Is it all proprietary?
Asked 2 years ago by Gordo.
- Answer PSU was no issue. Really simple if you go module PSU. The case is just fine. I was able to install a 3 fan 4070 in it with 2mm to spare. LMAO. Regarding proprietary connectors, I don't think there are but don't quote me on it. Trust, though, that it's a great computer and the case is just perfect for it.

QuestionHey i was wondering if this desktop would run well playing Ready or Not on max settings with the Acer Predator Monitor hooked up to it?
Asked 2 years ago by Brent4566.
- Answer That will depend on the requirements and compatibility of the specific game you want to run. We recommend you check with the specific game's software publisher's web site of the game you want to run, for their compatibility with Windows 11 Home 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
