Customer Ratings & Reviews

This computer was easy to set up and is running two monitors. I have had zero issues with It.

Bluetooth is not working and Geek Squad wanted to keep it for a minimum of 5 days

it came as it was represented. the color was good. itfit my desk

Affordable, a lot of features and memory. Maybe not a gamer but great for general use.

If I would've been running Windows 8.1 it would've been fine. I chose to upgrade to windows 10 and had nothing but problems. After doing a factory restore I tried again and had similar results. I returned item.

This is a great PC for the money. I was in need of a new gaming desktop, and this had some great specifications. I ended up switching out the Power Supply and Graphics Card for a better gaming experience. I listed some highlights with more detail below. Processor: AMD FX 8310. An 8-core processor ranging from 3.4ghz-4.3ghz. L3 8mb & L2 8mb. GPU: AMD ASUS R7 240 2gb DDR3. (I substituted this with a nVidia GTX 960 2gb DDR5.) Ram: 8gb DDR3. HDD: 2tb 7200rpm. PSU: 300w. (I substituted this with a Corsair 750M 750w.)

If you're looking for a decent machine to run basic stuff, this is it.

So far I have had no problems with my new computer.

its amazing, actualy is the best one i ever had in mt life

Tends to have errors and shut down occasionally even though properly installed by IT

When I bought this Memorial Day wekend ,it stated a 4.3 ghz computer but what I got was way less. I got a 3.4 ghz way less than what I ordered and paid for!! I 've brought to to Best Buy's attention 3 times, but as you see "The song remains the same" and nothing has been done about it. AND most likely never will============ I would recommend this to a friend..... not as described

Very noisy hard drive....un happy ...had to call Asus and Best Buy...I still own it ...I hope it last...just noisy

This computer fullfills all my needs and expectations. The eight-core processor is powerful and handles tasks fast. Not to mention that the AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB graphics card can run some modern games on a playable FPS (low to medium settings). I'm now getting used to Windows 8.1, which is simple and easy to use once understood, I'm also excited for the free Windows 10 upgrade. However I do noticed that the keyboard and mouse wires are a bit too short since my PC and I are separated by a cabinet to prevent radiation. Overall, this is a must buy.

I got frustrated with having multiple z97 chipsets on my Intel set up tanking every few months so I decided to look at some prebuilt computers. I really no longer game hardcore but still wanted to play some games. This computer for its price is very capable, but it does need a few tweaks first the 350 watt psu, nope no upgrade room here at all, and I found it was running warmer then I would like even just doing basic windows and word processing tasks, so out with the little psu that could and in with my Silverstone strider gold 1200, yes it does fit but its slightly tight. It runs way cooler and has more power then this system needs and adds extra cooling with the 140 mm fan pulling heat out of the case. Next I put in one of my 680gtx Classifieds, yea I know I need to upgrade this, its been running The Secret World well, though the R7 240 ran it ok I wish they would have at least put a R9 250 or such in and a 550 watt psu. I am going to drop my 500gb SSD in as some games like to read a lot from the disk, TSW I'm looking at you, this is not necessary just preference and I have the parts lying around I also added another 8 gb of ram total 16 gb. You might say why did you put all that in its because I had it around and even with just adding better psu like a thermaltake 750M, (modular) PSU and say an R9 270 or a card in that range and you have one hell of a capable gaming rig in a clean nice small form factor. It a good computer with room to grow and tweak THe psu is around 80 bucks and I think the R7270 is around 169 ish. so for 800 bucks you can build a good system. Mind you those are just estimates. Sorry for the lengthy review and list of stuff, but I hope it gives you an idea where you can go with this system.

This system is a little disappointing, particularly at the price point, with some silly meddling by ASUS making it worse. It may be a good choice if you A) never plan on opening the computer up and B) your tasks involve video encoding, CAD or Photoshop/Lightroom, as the FX processor performs well when all 8 cores are utilized and the case is fairly well built and has good aesthetic appeal. However, it is not a 'gaming' PC. The FX struggles in single/dual core tasks (many games are heavily weighted towards 1-2 core usage) and ASUS disabled any sort of overclocking features in the BIOS (which is supposed to be a key selling point of AMD 'black edition' processors). The R7 240 graphics card included performs very poorly compared to other dedicated cards. The system is seemingly at a ~$100 price premium vs. comparable Intel i5 systems due to the GPU but it does not warrant the increase, something like a GTX 750 for $125 will provide much more performance. To make matters worse, the video card is mounted very near the bottom of the case so if you upgrade to a better card, not only will it be starved for air but it will heat up the rest of the components as well. To give an example, after being dissatisfied with the performance of the R7 240 I replaced it with an EVGA GTX 960. The performance was much better, but the system kept crashing while gaming and the CPU was reaching 63-64C in temperature (AMD's recommended max is 62C). After replacing the case with an aftermarket one, the CPU now never exceeds 47C while gaming, indicating how bad the airflow is in the OEM case. ASUS does not help matters as they have blocked out the connectors for additional fans on the motherboard (you can clearly see it marked FAN but there is just a blank space there), which seems silly. This PC is just priced too high for what it is.

I really love this pc because it is very efficiently for my entertainment.

Bought this computer and upgraded it to Windows 10. Problem is, in Windows 10, after ~30 minutes of inactivity it goes into some kind of "sleep" mode. The fan is still running, the power button light is solid, you can open the CD tray - but there is no power to the USB and the monitor is off. There is no way to get it back online, unless you just hold down the power button and force a reboot. This does not happen in windows 8.1. I restored the computer twice. The 2nd time, I did not install ANY programs to make sure it wasn't something I was causing but it happend again. I flashed the BIOS, I turned off the ErP power mode off in the BIOS. I contacted ASUS tech support, and even they recommended returning it. Nothing resolved this. I returned the first one, bought a 2nd identical computer (just in case it was a driver issue - which ASUS tech support through could be the problem but I had my doubts) and it did the exact same thing. I like the computer...specs are great and I really wish it would have worked out but there is definitely a compatibility issue with windows 10 and this model

This Computer is Has a great Cpu but could use a lil upgrading on the Gpu and ram And if u really wanna a SSD.

The computer is good and does what most need. the biggest problem is it says it has a 4.3 Ghz processor when in fact it has a 3.4 Ghz processor. Don't get fooled like I did.

I ordered a 4.3 GHZ Asus desktop,but what I got was a 3.4 instead The lady did everything she could to get it right ...The song remaines the same as advertised still at 4.3 GHZ recommend this to a friend ? not the way it's listed.. By the way they never posted my 1st comment
