Good Starter PC When on Sale

I bought this desktop for about $615 in Excellent Open Box condition. At that price point, this is an excellent starter pc. The RX 6500 XT is unfortunately not a very good card due to its very limited VRAM. This PC also also only comes with 8 GB of RAM, which is simply not enough for games today in my opinion. I ultimately upgraded the GPU to an RX 6650 XT and 16 GB of RAM. Now, every game runs very smoothly at 1080p, high settings, and well above 60 FPS. The case is also very aesthetically pleasing. The lights, for the most part, are easily customizeable. This PC is also extremely quiet even when playing demanding games. My only compaint about the case is that you can’t change the color of the Lenovo logo at the front of the case. Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase for its value when on sale.

Honestly not a bad first gaming pc when on sale and easily upgradable. I bought mine at my local Best Buy store for $550 open box condition back in 2022. This was my first ever gaming pc and for how cheap i got mine the experience was great! This specific gaming pc is easily upgradable and here are all parts that I have upgraded to:
-Nvidia RTX 4060 Graphics Card ($300)
-Corsair 32gb Memory Ram ($70)
-5 Thermalright RGB Case Fans ($25)
-AMD CPU Air Cooler ($8)
-2tb NVMe Gaming SSD Storage ($100)
Cons:
Without a few upgrades some games will run with bad performance results, I suggest upgrading the Memory Ram to atleast 16gb or 32gb because nowadays 8gb is simply not enough. The SSD storage is another downside to this pre built, if you’re someone who plays a variety of games i suggest upgrading to atleast 1tb or 2tb of storage. Other than that, i have no regrets purchasing this gaming PC. I still own it and play on it til this day!

I really enjoy the the pc. I can play all the games at 1080p and get high fps. The only thing I recommend is to upgrade to at least 16gigs of ram. 8 is not enough for games nowadays. This pc is also very upgradable so you can upgrade it later on. Overall, really like this pc.

Great beginner budget pc. Super easy to help get into the scene, and when it comes time to advance the experience, the pc is easily upgradable and accessible. Only complaint is my inability to access the bios and update clock speed, but this could be user error

Shady business with open box

Received my PC in great condition for an open box product. It's a great PC, received a brand new keyboard (missing a mouse) but I felt like BestBuy did something shady when reselling this.
1. They listed this PC to have a 650watt PSU, my PC only came with 400W
2. Listing said 8gb of ram, only received a 4gb ram.
I addressed this issue to customer service, they told me to return the PC. However, they don't have this in stock anymore, I got a great deal when buying this open box.
I asked if they can just replace the items if I return it to the store, they said "No, but don't worry, we will take care of it and give you a refund"
Going to give the PC itself a good review, but BestBuy services is horrible and need to do better

I have this pc. One of the best Budget Pre builds I’ve bought in a while… everything is great from build quality to specs. With that being said the GPU could use an upgrade to at least maybe a 6600XT since the 6500XT doesn’t have an encoder… but none the less the computer is amazing

Great starter pc, keep an eye innit as it usually drops from 950 to like ~650 often from what i noticed.
Ive had no issues running majority of my games, online and while streaming.
Came with basic keyboard and wired mouse.
Graphics card is pretty decent for price too making this definitely worth it vs building your own. Sadly inly has 1 hdmi port so ive run into problems adding more monitors as theres not even a dci port, just the 1 slightly hidden hdmi.
But yeah, decent pc, easy to modify if needed. Still havent gotten my code fpr the free game it came with.... so thats the 3 stars, would give 4 but i have yet to see my extras.
