    I've been wanting to build a new gaming rig with a 3060 but after seeing the price on this prebuilt Lenovo, I couldn't pass it up. It has handled everything I've thrown at it so far with zero issue. I expected to need to a replaced the stock CPU cooler but the temps have not gotten too hot, even while stress testing. The airflow is well designed and I can barely hear the machine running. I'm only gaming at 1080p but haven't had any issues at all so far. Very happy with the rig, especially at this price.

    I am not a big gamer but wanted something that could run sim racing games on PC without breaking the bank. I primarily play ACC and it runs it seamlessly on max settings. The only limitation is my monitor at this point.

    I bought this pc as my old one was dying. This pc blows my old one out of the water. This PC is compact and very light compared to my old one. The boot up is quick, everything is working great thus far. The only downfall is I wish this had an extra hard drive from the manufacturer. I would recommend this PC to anyone looking for an affordable gaming pc.

    Couldn't be happier with the quality for the price. Runs every game I've played no problem. Can't get a better bang for your buck on a pre-built. Runs a little hot but not too bad. Even came with a mouse and keyboard, which I did not expect. Delivered quickly and exactly on time. My first gaming PC and I couldn't be happier considering my tight budget.

    Incredible Price for Power

    This was an amazing deal. I wish I would have bought 2. This was a gift for my son and he went bonkers at the specs. The amount of power for the price was off the scale with this machine. He has been happy with it since he got it. He plays lots of games as well as his VR headset and they all work much better than his old machine. I'd like to get myself one, but the deal is gone. Similar specs are twice as much now.
