    I like it. It can run the division at 4k at 30fps. I don't know how that matches up with standard benchmarks, but it's what I've tried. The box says it's VR capable, but I don't have a setup for that so I can't really say if it makes for a good experience. The mouse and keyboard that came with it are complete crapola so expect to replace those. I got this around Xmas when it was on sale for $900 so when you consider the current video card market I think it's a pretty good deal.

    It has plenty of RAM and a very fast processor, combined with an excellent video card. Also it is the only tower on that range that allows me to add a second optical unit (In my case, I had a BD-RE unit that I wanted to put there). It is quiet and does its job better than I expected.

    Runs games such as WoW at max graphics, will run 60-100 FPS in raid format with add-ons running as well. We have not tried it with many other graphic intense games but, I did personally compare the prices and components before telling my friend to buy this. Gave it a 4/5 star solely because my computer I built beat his, granted the parts in mine cost more over time. Take it as you will. He is very happy with his computer!

    All arnd like the pc, quiet and fast but the power supply wasn't enough for the rx580 graphics. I put a corsair 750 psu in $75 and it made big difference in graphics. Upgrading psu is very ez but u have to cut a notch in plastic arnd power cord. Good pc with some upgrade ability, so if u dont want to build a pc then i recommend this 1.

    My old hand built computer was great, but it was 7 years old. So, when my video card went out, I decided to just buy a whole new system rather than piece another gaming PC together. I LOVE my new Ryzen 7 1700, it's fast and quiet. I'm first in and first out of every dungeon! No lag, and my games now look like movies! <3 ^..^

    I purchased four of these for my boy's birthday presents. They all have summer birthdays and we desperately needed a gaming PC upgrade before summer break. The first we set up was incredible. It runs smooth is still going and my oldest son is happy he can run PUBG at Ultra and get 45 frames or 70 fps on High. The second booted up and ran for an hour. The next day when I started it up I smelled a burning odor and it was dead. i still had one in the box for my youngest. He was eager to get it running but I had to return the second. After getting home from the return (without any trouble from Best Buy), I quickly hooked up the second. This one ran for about two seconds and lost all power. Again a burning smell. The third does not even get power..DOA.l am beyond frustrated and sad that I have wasted an entire weekend that was supposed to be boys time because of faulty power supplies. I have on more that is arriving in two days via ship to home, but I am afraid to even open the box out of having to see the disappointment on my son's face. By the way, in case anyone wonders (as I did) if I have a short or something in my power. I am hooked up to surge protectors. Plus my other PC's both work fine.. in fact, I am writing this review with my old PC, that booted up right away without any caution taken when plugging it in. This is not an electrical issue on my part. Two of the PC's that burned out in the computer room, and one in the living room. Anyway, I really feel an apology and a free fix is in order. But I think I will end up just getting a refund since Best Buy is out of this model and I doubt Dell is going to do anything about it. I will update in three days when the fifth one comes in.

    The right combination of AMD Ryzen 7 and Rx580 GPU, liquid cooled and whisper quiet... I could not have built this machine for the same price (in fact, the price went up $150 for Black Friday, and then again by $50 more for Christmas). So I got my dream machine for $200 less than Christmas shoppers did! One note: Audio was terrible at first, and had to be troubleshot several times before it settled down...

    This thing starts up in less than ten seconds, runs Overwatch with MAXIMUM graphics settings at 120 frames per second or better. I play minecraft with 20 chunks render distance and it works fine. Street fighter 4 ultra runs around 250 FPS. Comes with basic mouse and keyboard which perform fine. I recommend upgrading to a high performance mouse (Logitech G903 Lightspeed). Pair this computer with any 1ms 75hz or higher display and you have yourself a race horse of a machine that will run just about any game with beautiful video quality. I'm very pleased with it and haven't even considered adding more ram or video card, although the slots are there if you want. Also the blue light that shines out of the side looks sweet. It's pretty quiet too. It only has 1 HDMI port so if you want to add multiple displays you have to get hdmi-usb adapters, Which works for me with no perceivable lag.

    Bought this going in worried about it being an AMD system but I am amazed with the system. I took Witcher 3 to ultra graphics and it runs smooth. It is quiet as well. Using Oculus Rift and plays very smooth. Completely satisfied.

    Good PC but not very configurable

    The PC case looks to be well made and is actually quite heavy. The blue accent lighting allows the computer to look very cool when in a low light condition. The mouse and keyboard however that came with it are cheap and you will definitely want to upgrade them right away. The specs are descent and you will be able to play any games currently on the market. If you are a serious gamer you will be disappointed if you open the case to try to do any upgrades. The plus side is that there is plenty of room to add a second RX 580 graphics card and the power connections are ready to go in the correct location. The negative is that the power supply is a wimpy 375 watts. I know Radeon cards are low power consumption, but you will need to upgrade to more watts if you add very many components. The way the power supply is installed you will not be able to add a power supply unit any bigger than the one installed. The only available power supply connections are the 6 pin, for an extra graphics card, and connectors to add additional hard drives. There is a basic fan and cooler on the CPU and one exhaust fan. There are no locations to place any additional fans. I bought a small fan that mounts in one of the open card slots, but could not use because there are no 4 pin adapters. I may try to find an adapter that will connect into a 2 pin adapter. The 16 GB of RAM is adequate for most of what you will need. The drawback is that there are only two RAM slots and one is taken up with the a 16 GB card. If you think you will need to upgrade to the maximum of 32 GB of RAM supported, it will cost you. 16 GB DDR4 2400 cards are hard to find and expensive. If you buy directly from Dell it will cost you $500. The cheapest I could find it online was $200. You can buy a set of two 16GB sticks for slightly less than $300. One thing I really like about the motherboard is that it supports the new M2 standard SSD cards and the M2-1 PCI-E SSD card. This is a simple and economical way to add extra hard drive space. I bought a 250 GB card to use as my boot disk for $125. Installation was easy, however if you do not notice one little detail in advance you will be very upset. The card slot has a small screw hole to hold the stick in place. The cards you buy do not supply the screw and Dell did not bother to provide one already on the motherboard, or any additional accessories to assist with upgrading. I had to piece together a solution to hold the card in place from a small nail that fit tightly in the screw hole and a lead pencil eraser to use as a make shift washer. Nobody wants to make an extra trip to a PC store to buy one very small screw for the install. Speaking of screws, the extra card slot covers do not include screws and the covers have to be broken off individually to provide an opening to install any cards. Once you remove the cover it will not go back in. There are plenty of USB slots. The back has (4) 3.0 and (2) 2.0 USB slots. There are (2) 3.0 and (2) 2.0 USB slots on the front. There is also (1) 3.1 slot on the front that will come in handy when the prices of the new 3.1 compliant external hard drives come down in price. In summary, if you want a computer to use right out of the box and do not plan on upgrading, this build will work fine. The speed of the computer is very good and the built in WiFi is fast. I was able to effortlessly connect a Bluetooth surround sound panel speaker to set my monitor on top of. If you like to 'tinker' with your computer and plan on upgrading, you will probably either want to custom build are go with another brand such as CyberPower.

    Was good, but GPU was 480 !! Returned it :-(

    I liked this computer for the time I had it, however the GPU came AMD 480 and not 580 like the specs said.. I installed linux in it and runs great, I was installing the wrong drivers so that's how I found out it had a different GPU than what it was "sold"... Please update that error so people will buy what they read. I bought it for $1,000 so now I see price has dropped to $800.. Just update that GPU info please, or put in the PC the correct graphics that you advertise, thanks. I went back to the same store and they hadn't done anything.
