So first of this case is great. Stunning looking and plenty of hidden area for cabel management or lack there of.
So here is the size of it.
Great case
Good processer (I-7700)
Decent RAM 16GB
Good IO on the motherboard (Asus B250-A)
Okay GPU (MSI armour 1060 6GB)
Power Supply is 600w ( not modular)
All in all a good PC for the price.
So small thing I recommend you get if you end up getting this computer.
NVME M.2
And liquid water cooler
The Picture is after I added a lot of stuff BTW.

First thing first, this computer looks amazing, i love the case. When i placed the order, it told me it was going to take at least two weeks, it only took around 5 days to ship! I see that a lot of people are complaining about the noise, the noise is perfectly fine. The only thing that i might end up adding soon are more out-put fans, only because several people mentioned it in their review and because its always good to have a well ventilated computer. Once i`m more into my PC Gaming, i will come back to do a more in depth review on how this handles my games.

A monster of a desktop
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Not only does this desktop look beastly, it also performs beastly. I only use the ssd for my boot drive. This PC is a great bang for your buck. I got this particular because all I would have to do is upgrade the graphics card and/or add a hard drive if I wanted to. It doesn't come with Wifi or bluetooth, but that's an easy buy if you need it. I've played several games, even some at the same time because I have dual monitors. I have no lag in my games and any other programs I use perform flawlessly.
However, this is the second desktop because I had to return the first one because it kept restarting on its on. The new one is working perfectly fine aside from a noise coming from the 2nd desktop. I haven't pen pointed exactly what's causing it, the first desktop didn't make the noise. This noise is hardly loud and annoying enough to make me return it again though. I can't hear it unless it's completely quiet in the room. I gave this review 5 stars because I still think this PC is awesome.

I bought this as my third gaming PC. My first two I tried to be cheap with the parts I picked inside my PC. Then, when I went to build another one but not be cheap, I found this on best buy. Let me just say that this is the best, fastest, and best looking PC I have ever owned. For the price, you're getting your moneys worth and more. The Intel i7-7700k is extremely powerful and fast. So, with the Nvidia 1060 with it, its a beast of a PC. I play games like Counter Strike Global Offensive and H1Z1 and I run them both on high and the games connect fast, run smooth, and look amazing. i've gotten better because of this PC. This is my first review and Im more than happy to write it and encourage others who are on a budget to purchase this PC. It's worth the money and as of having it for 2 months, there are no issues. *knocks on wood*

I bought this desktop from best buy website, here. Here's my brief review about this product.
1. Design
- I really like this desktop's design. It's simple and awesome. When you turn on this computer, you can see blue light shining left side of the case. It's awesome. And there're 4 USB ports on the front.
2.Performance
- It has GTX1060, 16gb RAM, i7 CPU. There's no problem with it. I enjoyed lots of game with ultra option.
3. A/S
- When I got this product, there was problem with connecting monitor to it.(It was my fault lol. I didn't know how to connect it correctly) I called to CyberPc customer support team, and they answered me kindly.
If you're still concerned about your PC, here's your solution!

Solid Prebuilt PC

Overall DECENT prebuilt PC though as expected with a mass produced PC like this, it is built with cheap parts. The BEST qualities of this PC are its case, NVME SSD drive and CPU. The GPU is a HALF sized GPU(only one fan). The RAM is some Chinese cheap brand, the motherboard is a B250 chipset which means you CANT overclock your i7700k CPU. They also cheaped out on the Fans. They are absolute trash and are very noisy. On the topic of fans, they placed 3 on top as exhausts, 1 on the back as exhaust plus the PSU exhaust fan. All exhaust but no intake. To have proper cooling you need intakes + exhaust.. I ended up moving 2 fans to the bottom of the case as intake fans.
The case has a dust screen on the bottom of it that vibrates against the metal case when the fans ramp up. I had to McGyver a dampening solution to get rid of the noise. In reality, I'd recommend you build your own PC. I went with a prebuilt solution through BestBuy because lazy. Though with the time I spent moving fans, moving cables, adding a hyper 212 evo CPU cooler in exchange for the inefficient one it came with, I spent the same amount of time it would have taken me to build my own.
Recommendations;
Replace CPU cooler with a better one
replace case fans with quieter ones

Outstanding Machine!

Hello and I'm an Arma-holic. (Helicopter/CAS pilot). My old machine was an Asus Republic of Gamers gaming laptop with 2GB NVIDA GTX 560. So my gaming experience was choppy to say the least. I was contemplating doing my first pc build. However, during my research I found this machine with everything I was looking for at a competitive price. So I ordered it. When it arrived (5 days earlier than expected, anyone can appreciate that!) I followed the easy to read 5 step guide, the machine fired right up with no issues! The key board and mouse are of high gaming quality as is the machine. Its incredibly fast, Arma 3 was on auto detect video setting and when I went to the options everything was set to Ultra High. My gaming experience has improve dramatically due to this outstanding product. I consistently get 80-100 FPS on public servers during fast twitch game play. The chilling white case with electric blue LED fans are a great aesthetic and a plus! And you can tell that a great deal of care and attention to detail took place while assembly due to the cable management within the case. Overall I am impressed and completely satisfied!

This is a overall great computer. I play games like Arma 3 and Pubg. In these games and all the other games I play i get 60+ FPS on ultra graphics. Plus I ordered this August 26 and it was supposed to come on September 7. I actually got it September 1! This is a great deal for the price. The people saying that this is a loud computer obviously don't know what a loud computer actually is. Its decently quiet and a great computer. 10/10 Would recommend. Also its side is clear glass and looks really cool.

Great value, I imagine this computer will last me years to come. Runs my games at 60 fps, ready to go right out the box with cool keyboard and mouse. The only thing was I had to add my own wifi card for wireless internet. Strange it doesn't come with this for the price, but the computer was still amazing.

Graphic & Web Designer - Super Happy!

I love my new computer. Is it large... yes... Is it audible... yes, because of the fans... is it a little bright (blue - at least it isn't red)... yes... but who cares! I got the best bang for my with this machine. I did a lot of research. I have only ever owned laptops. I decided to go for a desktop this time to get a faster, smoother experience. I love it! I am not a gamer, but I am a graphic and web designer. My older laptop had windows 7 w/ an i7 processor, 6GB of RAM, and a graphics processor that is no longer supported. I found more and more that it would get hung up when I performed heavy tasks with incredibly large InDesign documents & when working with video in Premiere Pro & with an extreme amount of vectors in Illustrator & also when working with 3D in Photoshop. I could also never have more than 1 program open at a time. I decided is was time to shell out for something that would perform for me without me having to prioritize tasks & last me a few years into the future. I didn't want a Mac, though most designers drool over the aesthetics of Apple products. Unfortunately, I noticed that most high end PCs are marketed towards gamers. Hence, the blue LEDs with translucent glass panel to show off the guts of this machine. I didn't really care for anything showy, but this deal was too good to pass up. I couldn't even build my own for this price. I wanted power & performance, and that's what I got. I am super stoked.
