The pc is great! Just a one major thing that bothers me is the sound the cpu fan is pretty loud but other wise it does a better job cooling then some other fans it’s rlly good at cooling but noise level it’s not otherwise it’s a really good pc!

This is my first real gaming machine and I have to say I am impressed. This thing is fast and efficient. On my older gaming computer, I had problems with several games that would glitch and low frame rates. I have no issues playing them on this. I love it!.

this computer is very nice and powerful but you must install an h60 liquid cooler into this computer otherwise it is incredibly loud and probably unbearable for most people....other than that very nice computer.

Gaming pc is very solid I have only play with it like 10 hors since purchased but it very powerful it runs Destiny 2 at 60fps super smooth and other games etc. I recommend to plug it directly to the router using the LAN slot...
I have tested it with various programs at the same time(Photoshop, adobe acrobat, illustrator, Google chrome, playing music with iTunes, open game and changing the resolution doesn’t affect the performance) and it doesn’t seem to become hot at all. I recommend to get protective plan before getting the item.

This one is a winner. No problems playing the latest on the highest settings. Tried on Squadrons and CyberPunk with no issues at all. Only complaint would be fan noise but you can expect that when running games at the highest settings.

Arrived way quicker than what I would've thought! The keyboard I have took a week to come and this only took 4-5 days. I really love it for a pre-built and my first ever pc.

I give a rating of fair mostly because of all the problems that I had with installing additional hardware. By what I noticed with this computer I am thinking that it was not new. It had to have been returned. The back screw was buggered much more that it should have been and the power supply seemed worn.
