Had this tower for a month. Still running like a champ with no set backs. It's ultra light and the outer front case is plastic but hey, that's why it's cheap. Runs WOW, streams music, and open explorer all at once without issues. Like I said, so far so good, very happy.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. It was a pain to setup, and it isn't wireless.

Wish this had a bigger graphics card, low FPS while gaming. Did not expect this, as this computer was advertised as a gaming computer. I purchased this as a gift and was upset when the low FPS was an immediate issue. Experts recommend upgrading the graphics card to help computer run faster. This is absurd, that when you purchase a gaming computer, you have to run out immediately and spend another $250-$650 on a graphics card so it can adequately game. If I had to do it again, maybe pay a little more so that I would not have to immediately upgrade.

I bought this product looking for a decent gaming pc and got it during a sale. I have many good things to say for it as well as a few negative.
Cons
- 3.3Ghz dual core CPU with 8G of Ram allows for multiple programs to run at the same time with little or no delay at all and work seamlessly.
- when compared to buying the individual components and putting it together yourself it is about $200 cheaper to buy here as is. (best buy also had lower price on same product compared to its competitors.)
-the games ive played on this have run almost perfectly thanks to the 1G of graphic memory.
-In-store pick-up allowed me to get this next day! no shipping or processing fees!
Cons
-No monitor included, comes with a keyboard and a nice gaming mouse but no speakers as well.
-WILL NOT PLAY RECENT FIRST-PERSON SHOOTERS.
-The graphics card is alittle dated and thus has trouble running newer games that have come out this year, however if your willing to spent the money saved by buying this you should be able to find a card that can at least run recent games
in summary this is a decent starting gaming pc for people who want to play now and intended on upgrading down the road. the graphic card should be a first buy and it wouldn't hunt to change out the CPU if you want to go hi-end gaming. Now here is a list of games i ran on this pc and how it played.
Civilization 5 Gods & Kings - Beautiful
Napoleon: Total war - Beautiful
Poly Bridge - Perfect
Call of Duty: Black Ops (The first one) - Looked great lagged like crazy to point of unplayable.

For its price it's a decent computer but to run newer games you're gonna have to install a new graphics card and CPU it can play older games no problem but has a tough time playing games at 1920x1080 I can play some games but not all.
