The computer has more power than the ones I was looking at for my home use. The business/home computers had less memory and hard drive than this one. Also the processor has more speed. The cost was less than the businees/home computers. This was truely an excepional product for the price. I can add the software I need and not get a lot of trial programs that come with a lot of the businee/home computers.

I wanted a pc that would perform well, but wasn't incredibly expensive. This one definitely fills both those qualifications. The only real complaint that I suppose I could have is that the fan is really loud. It's not a problem for me since I usually wear headphones anyway, but if you don't wear headphones then it might get pretty annoying since they are REALLY loud. Other than that, it works fine, runs smoothly, and was easy to set up.

The product is very light, it runs nice. Graphics card is decent. Good specifications for its low price. Fans are a tad loud, but keeps whole product cool. LED lights give it a cool look. Haven't had any issues yet! 2 months since purchase!

I bought this with the help of an in store clerk. We picked it out based on price, reviews, and gaming capabilities. It's fast, great graphics, hdmi ports, has a cool blue glow on the cooling fans. the ONLY minor complaint I have about this computer is the fans are a LITTLE loud. But if you want, you can replace them with liquid cooling and solve that problem easily! Definitely worth the money!

My husband got this pc. Works great. I het the exact same pc a year later and I've had nothing but problems. I had it 16days been on it about 6 times for short periods. And the c drive is messed up. The video card is messed up. The cpu fan never slows down it stays on max causing this extremely loud white noise. I have to get everything replaced. And best buy couldn't help me unless I paid a price. Then I say I'd just like to return it. They tell me I cannot because I I have to return 15days from PURCHASE. I didn't recieve it for 5 daysafter I bought it online then it goes out the next day after I'm eligible for a refund? So now not even a month later I sent the pc to the manufacturer. I'm so disappointed in this. It really is a hit or miss with these ones. I'd not recommend it to anyone. Just to save them a hassle.

The computer works great, my son is enjoying that he can do everything that he wanted to do. It is upgradeable when we plan on upgrading. The fans run a little bit loud, they can be heard across the house. I am going to install some stuff into it to quite that down eventually, but not right at this moment.

As long as you have a monitor/TV to hook it up to, it's great. It runs very smoothly and has tons of space. The only problem I have found is that it has problems watching YouTube and twitch. When it is on those websites, it freaks out and makes this loud static noise. The only way to stop the noise is to reset the computer. Other than that problem, it is a very nice computer to have.

THE Multitasker

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I've had this computer for over a month now and I have had no problems with it. It runs smooth, fast, cool (never overheats), and has a whopping 2TB (actually 1.82TB) capacity. What more could the casual gamer ask for? The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is because I had a slight problem with the MSI updates, for some reason whenever I want to reset my computer after an update it goes into a boot screen and I have to manually shut it down and turn it on again. I'm not sure if this is a bad thing but I can live with it seeing as to how it has exceeded my expectations in every other way. I can download my music, games, movies, AND watch movies, listen to music, and play games at once virtually seamlessly. It's the ultimate multitasker, comes with all 4 cooling fans, and has ample room in the tower if you wish to upgrade it. The possibilities are endless and I am extremely satisfied!

I bought this desktop through Bestbuy.com and I am enjoying playing games on my computer. The fans are loud as stated by other reviewers. I don't mind them though due to the computer meeting my expectations as far as playing games. I am more than satisfied by this desktop. I would recommend this desktop if loud fans are ok.

My 13 yo son wanted a gaming computer and this was the best performance vs price we could locate at Best Buy. Pros: It seems to be fast enough for his games and has some appearance cachet. Cons: it is noisier than the last one and it generates a lot of heat.

This is my first gaming computer and I could not be happier with the purchase. A little loud but with the amount of fans this needs I expected that and it doesn't bother me. Plays everything with very little tweaking.
