    Doesn’t come with any start up instructions whatsoever, just installation instructions for other bits and bobs. Powers up, but doesn’t register that it’s connected to a monitor. Checked all cables and ports, check power supplies, Nada. I have a friend looking at it right now and thankfully it looks like everything was included, though the graphics card is so small it could easily be missed. I thought I was buying a computer that would turn on a fire up with no issues but I was sorely mistaken. I was also not pleased that the computer arrived to my doorstep in its ORIGINAL box. Meaning anyone in my neighborhood could see that I had a nice computer just waiting to be snatched by porch pirates. I hope that my friend can get this darn thing working... maybe I’ll come back and leave a better review.

    Got this as an intro gaming PC for my oldest son. He mostly plays minecraft and Roblox and maybe a couple other stream games. Runs everything great and for the price it can’t be beat.

    I bought this for my 10 year old daughter who loves to game with several of her friends via the internet. She's very tech savvy and I know she will enjoy this for years to come because you can build onto the computer! Awesome price for a quality gaming computer!

    definitely getting what you paid for. pretty decent starting computer for the price and would most definitely recommend for people who want to get into gaming on the pc but don’t wanna break the bank. 500 gb of storage which is a downside. can run older games really well newer games is a little struggle but can run. it can run fortnite but it’s gonna be a little bit of a struggle bus graphic wise. if you’re new to gaming on the pc and want to try to get into it but don’t wanna spend thousands i recommend.
