Great PC for entry level and experienced game hobbyists who don't want to have to future proof but want the ability to do so. It is also capable of project development whether it be games, mods, video, asset creation tools and so on. Ran my VR setup very well, too.

So far my son loves it, it is capable of performing whatever task he asks of it. The specs might not list the quickest RPM memory but it is DDR5 and he hasn’t been limited.

The pc claims 2 TB only received 1 TB. The CPU is at a constant 95-100c causing it to throttle. But other than that pc runs great. Very easy to set up, Good performance, good airflow, and cool RGB customization. Only thing that woukd be great is if they used an AIO for the cpu.

I’ve owned this for about a month now and I will start by saying this - DO IT! This computer is amazing, i did a lot of research prior to buying and this thing does not dissappoint. Extremely fast, I already had a 2k 165hz monitor prior to switching to PC, so I figured the 4070ti would be perfect, and it truly is. RDR2 maxed out at about 110-125, COD warzone/mw3 pushes 160-200 depending. I’ve put this PC through a few 12 hour gaming sessions and it stays between 67-72~ degrees celcius, which is perfect. I highly recommend, especially if you’re coming from console, the difference is so worth it.

This thing will have you set for at least 5 years. The speed of the DDR5 is ridiculously fast and the i7 clocks out at 5.2 GHz with 16 cores and 24 threads. The rtx 4070ti 12GB DDR6 gives me no issues with gaming. Completely clear glass on the side. You won't have to do any upgrades this for years to come. I know it's expensive, but the graphics card alone is $800. The Wi-Fi is actually 6E which surprised me. Working great so far. Overall A+ in my book.

Check CPU Temps

This thing is a beast and cuts through most games and tasks like butter. Giving it 3 stars because I noticed that intensive gaming would increase the CPU temp up to over 100 degrees. I would expect that a $2k gaming rig with these specs would have the proper cooling, and I'm disappointed that I immediately had to spend an additional $100 on a proper cooler to play the games that this PC is designed for. Extended time spent with a CPU at those high of temps can damage it so now I have to wait until the cooler comes in and I install it before I can comfortably game.

I bought this pc and was so happy to go back home to play games with really good performance. Should have been easily pushing 100 fps in most games on max settings. So I got home started it and tried to run a game with unreal engine 5 and my fps was only hitting 40 max and on games like Fortnite it couldn’t get 60fps. The pc was not running over .8ghz and it was completely. Do not recommend. Bios settings are limited aswell. If you like to boost your system and make tweaks your just out luck! Worst $2000 dollars spent. Returned it

Very simple setup. took about 30 mins for updates to complete. After changing some performance settings, i can run over 200 frame per second with no lag or studder. Ive played multiple strenuous hours on this pc and the cpu never went above 47°. This pc is amazing and i would 100% recommend to anyone looking to switch to pc gaming.
