    Great system, only lacking in the RAM department

    The hardware in this computer is quite nice, the only real reason it didn't get five stars is due to low RAM included in the base model. With no options to increase that prior to purchase, we had to upgrade the system almost immediately. For gaming, it does its job quite well, but coming with only 16 gigs of RAM is a slight drawback, especially for streaming. After a quick upgrade, this thing has performed quite well, the SSD drive is very nice, the 3060ti provides excellent visual appeal.

    Great pc but the pc is too compact not much fans this would be a personal heater for the winter if you didn’t have one and it’s very loud! If you wanna sound like your standing next to a jet buy it!
