Pros
-The computer is a Beast of a computer with a I7 7700k easily overclocked to 4.9ghz
-The GTX 1070 I got was a ASUS Turbo 8G and from reviews and my own observations it's one of the best GTX 1070s you can buy at a low cost.
-Gaming on this (as of late 2017) is High settings all the way on any game you can fine. Ultra settings on most games can be set and still have 60fps but only at 1080p (note that the GTX 1070 was never meant to be a 4k gaming card)
-RGB LIGHTS!!!! This thing lights up like a Christmas Tree.(if you're into all that)
-Quiet but... not really (more on that in Cons)
- Packaging was spot on. I felt like I could maybe toss this thing around and not have anything break (Please don't try that)

Cons
-DUST!!! The computer looks amazing but for some reason dust loves it and you'll spend a lot of time cleaning the dust off it close to everyday.
-RGB OMG the lights are a little much for me and i just turn them off (which should be a Pro) BUT.. The Red RGB fans have no off switch and it's like a night light when trying to sleep.
-The AIO cooler with rather LOUD fans is one of the biggest reasons this is not 4 stars. For a AIO cooler the fans are rather LOUD. Now i say loud for a water cooled CPU not loud like a Air cooled CPU. So it is quiet just not at the level i would like to see for a water cooled CPU.
-Motherboard(Bios) The motherboard i got is a Asrock Z270 Pro4 and the Bios are not the worst but not anything to say good things about.
- Only 1x 8gig of Ram. In 2017 a computer should never come with just 1 stick of ram and while 8gigs is a minimum for games right now it not good for gaming. I wish there was a option to upgrade ram to 16gigs for a little extra cash rather than me having to ether hunt down a 1x 8gig stick or buy a new set of 2x 8gig sticks 16gig ram.
-Software. Look i get that by not having a DVD-rom in this computer it makes for cool fans in front BUT if you're going to see something like this at best don't have the software on CDs (And no i shouldn't have to buy a External DVD-rom drive just to use the software)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here comes the part I'm not sure how to label so i'll just say it. For some reason on the one i got i have ZERO Fan control. I've been over this a few times and even updated the bios but still no fan control. In the Bios it only sees 1 fan on CPU Fan 1 and it's maxed out at over 1400rpms at all times. Doesn't matter what settings you try it stays the same. I've been looking into it and it looks like I'll have to redo all the wiring myself as something was not done right. (Also i have no idea if the pump is at MAX speed or what as the bios does not see it)
Over All
This is a good computer for a pre-built at a some what low cost (I got the computer on cyber Monday just before Xmas so it cost a little less than it is right now)
It's fairly Quiet but with it's down falls. Gaming on this thing is thing is amazing. Never worry if your computer can handle a game as of late 2017 and early 2018 this can handle them all.
If you're looking for a Nice looking gaming computer to run all games at 1080p 60fps or higher then get this now. The cost is still low even with the price hike of GPUs and if you're a person who loves getting High FPS in games.
-Vsync Off Max settings games FPS (all 1080p)
Counter Strike Go: 290 -300 FPS (Max settings)
Wolfenstein II: 120-190 FPS (Max settings)
Rise of the tomb raider: 90-110 but in places will dip to 70fps (Max settings) best to keep this game with vsync on.
I would recommend this to a friend
