Fast, Powerful Gaming PC!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this PC to replace another that had failed and it is very fast. The rtx 3070 is a powerful GPU and all of my games play with excellent graphics. I have had no issues with this PC as of yet and think it is a great choice for an gaming PC, especially with its Intel CPU and GPU combination. It has two 2.5 inch tool less expansion bays for SATA SSDs in the bottom of the case as well. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and expect this machine to last me for many years.

I would recommend this to a friend Change/Add RAM
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After changing the RAM in this PC it runs like a dream. Its unfortunate that you have to do that but lucky for me I had two 8gb DDR4 RAM from another PC I have and it was pretty simple to swap out. I was getting about 70-80fps in CoD warzone originally with the 1 stick of RAM after switching now I'm getting 150-160fps. I bought this of course for the 3070 but beware you might have to put more money in to this PC build if you want it to run how it's supposed to.

Upgraded
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Alienware - Aurora R12 - Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 - 256GB SSD+1TB HDD - Lunar Light, this replaces my old Area 51 r2. which for over two years became unable to do required updates, could not be upgraded to windows 10, according to Dell. I also was unable to use VR So far three months later I am extremely pleased with it's performance, and the fact that it corrected all the problems with the previous unit.

Excellent PC
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my FAVORITE computer I have EVER purchased. This thing looks like a beauty, so much so that I have it on my computer desk and not under my desk where all of my previous computers would go. Highly recommend due to its great appearance, VERY high speed performance (Even comes with easy to use overclocking software), and because of the bonuses you get for buying through BestBuy

High temp, don't buy if new to pc gaming
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great components, terrible temperature control. When you get it has auto managed fan controls. When checking temps, cpu was sitting at 65-70c idle. When you figure this out and change fan speeds through the command center it sounds like you are launching a jet out if your room.
