Bought this due to receiving a Leveno desktop with a bad CPU fan. Had doubts as this was my first AMD brand computer and video card (RX480 4gb). I am very satisfied. It boots fast, I've played Resident Evil 7, Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3. Played very well on all 3 games on Ultra settings/ highest settings. I've added an additional 8gb ram stick boosting system ram to 16gb to this desktop to make sure I have no issues with games like Battlefield 1 as I know it takes 8gb of ram in game otherwise you might see stutter on a heated firefight and explosions. Forza Horizon 3 needs 12gb ram to get the recommended requirements. To change the color of the led there is a button on the underside of the top lip of the tower has different pulses in single or multicolor and can even turn it off. System runs quiet. If you add up all the components you really can't beat the price of this prebuilt tower. The case has so much space in it and beware it doesn't come with a CD/DVD drive. I could care less about the CD/DVD drive as I really don't use it and now games are digital download. The CPU fan is a really good fan and how the guts of the components are installed it has very good air flow. Highly recommended computer.

I love this computer, it's great for the price, love the octocore 4 gigahertz AMD processor and the 8gb of ddr3 2400megahertz RAM that it came with. However I didn't like that it didn't come with a disk drive and that it only had two slots for extra internal hard drives. So I did end up buying an external disk drive, put 16 more gigs of RAM in there for a total of 24, added a neon blue fan and another fan up top, and monstered some more internal hard drives in there and now it's up to par. Other than that, this is an excellent product, I did purchase it with the intention of building on to it so this was a great option for me.

Everything you need to run about any game out there. Fan is pretty loud but everything runs really well. I put in extra RAM as soon as I got it and it performs very well for the price. The contents of the tower add up to around the price you would pay if you built it yourself! Why go through the trouble when its pre-made for you.
Only con- No CD/DVD unless you get external.... but who needs em.

I recently bought this computer on a black friday sale. This computer is extremely fast, and it can play any game on the max settings for the most part. No problem as of yet, and the keyboard and mouse are also really pretty. Would definitely recommend to people into PC gaming, but not looking for something too extreme.

My son is 10, and I purchased this computer for him for Christmas to upgrade him from his all in one. I am an 80's kid, and not a gamer, so I relied heavily on reviews while making my decision, and went with this model because of the higher graphics card it had. My son was shocked and thrilled when he opened it-, and I was happy that it was a super easy set up. He was gaming within 30 minutes of firing it up :) I love that he can upgrade this pc later as his needs change. He is currently running/playing Minecraft, SIMS 4, a whole bunch of steam games (Kerbal Space, Gang Beast, Undertale)- and we have had no issues, and zero lag. I love how many USB ports this baby has, as well as having the option of changing the LED colors with the touch of a button! My only wish is that I had bought this in the first place instead of the All In One two years ago (noob mistake! See, I'm learning to be hip!)

I bought this for my daughter as a gaming desktop. The computer has quality name brand components. The processor is one of AMD's faster 8 core and there is plenty of room for expansion. Unlike some computers marketed as gaming computers, the power supply is more than adequate for the demands of the processor and Radeon 480 card. If you price out the individual components plus the operating system, you will be pretty close to what you pay for this system with a full warranty. The only thing that I added was another 8 gigs of RAM and an external optical drive.
The Radeon card has 5 outputs. HDMI (1) Display Port (4). and is VR ready. This is not an Alienware or ROC. But for the price, it is well worth it for gaming.

I have been building my own pc's for the last 8 years. But, with doing so doesn't come with it's own risk. Anyone who has built their own, they know what I mean. The case has tons of room for your own personal add-ons. The fans are quite loud, but there is plenty of room for liquid cooling set up. The hard drive may not be the best, but there is room for 2 solid state drives on the back of the mother board. Both of the items I plan to replace in the next week. I've now had this system for 3 weeks and very pleased with it. Btw, you might want to get some more memory. It can handle up to 32 gb DDR3- 1866 unbuffered. I think it can handle DDR3-2133 but don't quote me on that...

Powerful computer with all the right features for me..I wanted a computer that I could use for gaming for the next few years. A great processor and graphics card were a must. Both were way above the system recommendations of all the new games. My old computer could not do that. I love the lighted keyboard and mouse. A lot of computers around the same price range fell woefully short., I have noticed that computer packages around the same price range offer everything except a great graphics card and processor, ie more ram or 2 terabyte hard drive or a small ssd, things that are fairly inexpensive to add versus a good graphics card. Looks like there is plenty of room for expansion. Not sure what the power supply here is. I am not a big fan of the lights in the case and glass side but have grown use to them. So far, so good playing new Deus Ex and will eventually buy BF1. BF4 looks and plays way better than old machine.

At under $700 I found this pre made to function well playing World of Warcraft on Ultra settings , with my 4k Lenovo screen. The keyboard and mouse are decent if on a budget, but I did upgrade mine. The way the tower is designed, allows for easy cleaning which I liked. It doesn't have a drive though, which I solved by picking up an external drive for under $30. This was purchased to be able to comfortably play World of Warcraft and also serve as my everyday PC for normal home office use. Very satisfied with the level of performance I get and able to stay on a budget doing it.

Got this just so we could run Oculus on. It meets and exceeds all standard minimum requirements. Those who say you need to spend thousand or have I just laugh. Don't need a Porsche to drive a Lexus. You will need either an USB to hdmi or a display port to hdmi cable as Oculus eats up a lot of ports and for us we got an adapter to overcome this and run Oculus on a 60" 4K LG via an adapter from Insignia. Here is my review on adapters for this Ov as well. Btw cool case plenty of room to upgrade and the lights in the tower and keyboard make not only great nighlights ights but also add a little something special. Great product. Ran out of HDMI plug ins and needed alternative to plug in monitor from our desktop for gaming. Excellent product high price tag. Retuned and bought Best Buy name brand for less then have the cost Insignia™ - DisplayPort-to-HDMI Adapter - Black. Even though I am using a display port over an HDMI port on my desktop I still got the same resolution on my screen. Can't go wrong. Includes drivers and adapter but if money is an issue go with the alt. This product is excellent for gaming and those that run too end graphic cards.

pc was packaged well easy setup. I am new to windows 10 so trying to learn had a Vista before this..it came with a gigabyte MOBO.
ADATA XFG memory ram. The inside looks really nice a lot of room for future upgrades. There is a mesh tray on bottom to keep out hair, ect. also a magnetic mesh on top for the same reason. Overall I am really pleased with the quality. can't wait to install my games and see how they look now.

I bought this pc one sale and have not been dissapointed! The graphics card is strong enough to play current games like The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and others in 1080p at great fps with high - ultra settings. The LED strip in the pc and the light up keyboard is a plus and looks cool. The case is easy to open which is great for adding more components.

This is a great starter rig for those wanting to jump into PC gaming. It is a powerhouse of a machine for what you are paying, quick and powerful with an above average mid range PCU. I do like the case for this desktop, makes it easy to upgrade or add things, and the fans seem to really help with heat. The accessories that come with the machine seem flimsy though. The keyboard and mouse that come with it feel cheap to the touch. Besides that, this is a great 'starter' machine for what you are paying.

I'm happy with it does the job no lag running graphics on high in every game. But the only downfall is when I was buying it I was paying to much attention to the fine details about processor graphics and memory that I didn't realize it didn't have a cd rom. Which wasn't no big deal cuz I bought and external one for it. But other than that great computer

Have had this desktop for about a week or so and its been great. Everything from the AMD processor to the Phanteks case, its a nice looking and super quick machine. The only issue with the desktop I've had is the fact it comes with a HARD DRIVE. Within about 30 minutes of using it, i realized I wanted an SSD. ADD the SSD and your mind will be blown. It is such an improvement over the HDD. Not sure if all Windows 10 computers with HDD have this problem but I did some research and it turns out the "100% disk Utilization" issue that makes the computer slow does have some work arounds to suppress the issue but unless you have a SSD, you will mostly likely have to deal with the laggy-ness of the HDD. Simply said, buy this desktop and while your there get a SSD, clone your HDD to your new SSD and BOOM... you got yourself a little powerhouse of a machine. P.S. check out the little benchmark read/write speeds.. that's with the SSD added. HDD read/write speed was about 186/185.

My wife's PC went POP and I decided it was time to just buy a new one. Great price on this PC and setup was sooo easy! She plays her game (ESO) on Ultra with no issues. The machine is quiet and smooth to operate. Have only had it for a short time but she absolutely loves it!
