    I'm amazed at what you get for the price. This system is a beast. It runs Cyberpunk 2077 with no problem. I included a capture of the benchmarks from Novabench. That's straight out the box with no tweeking yet. Does not include the Alienware Mouse or Keyboard, just generic but for this price I didn't expect them. It's quieter than I thought it would be. Very easy to configure and update. All in all I'm impressed with this build.

    A little toasty in VR, but pretty solid

    I have had mine for almost 2 years now, and while it runs a bit toasty it actually performs pretty well. I have had a few instances where it doesn't seem to POST, but another power cycle usually resolves that. It does have horribly inadequate cooling - so I added a 2nd intake fan to it (lots of YT vids for this) and also modified the removable side panel to eject some heat from the vid card area. Even before I did that - when setting to performance mode for cooling - it would get a bit noisy with the fans and it belched heat out the top... but it seems to work great, even after hours of constant flight sim in VR. Really wish they would go with a more traditional case inside to allow for proper cooling and cable routing.

    A powerful beast of a machine. It's definitely worth the price considering what you get. I was able to expand the storage with an additional 1TB SSD and 1TB HDD. I also plan to increase the RAM in the future.

    5 months now so far no issues. Great build on its price. Very fast. Haven’t tried playing latest games but the new COD modern warfare ran smoothly on max settings. 240hz

    Beast of a machine! So far it has run everything I've thrown at it on max settings without a struggle. Definitely worth the buy if you are looking for a higher end pre-built PC.
