This a is a great gaming desktop for the price. I am able to play one of the top mmo's at 60 to 100 fps with this machine as is, out-of-the-box. Lenovo is a great brand. You can't go wrong with this computer. The included mouse and keyboard are functional.

It's good when it works.
However I believe I received a faulty unit.
Firstly, whenever the computer wakes from sleep it crashes/freezes soon after.
Secondly, the power supply is 400watts however the GPU recommends at least 450watts. I believe this caused a big problem for me because about 9 months after using this computer, I was playing Lost Ark and all of a sudden the computer turned off and won't turn back on.
Now it's been multiple days of waiting for repairs, and attempting repairs myself. We've replaced the PSU, the motherboard, the power cable etc. and now the computer still won't boot because of faulty RAM, which I hope will be the last thing to replace.
The only good thing is that the computer is covered under 1 year lenovo warranty but after that you'll be out of luck if something happens. It's too bad I can't return it.

Lenovo Legion 5i Gaming Desktop with the i5 10400 + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 video card is a great Windows PC. Having a 256 SSD + 1TB HD was the most important addition I made sure the PC had before buying as I find ample storage capacity important. This PC handles all day to day tasks and is quiet as a mouse. There are more than enough USB ports as well as HDMI and DisplayPort video card outputs. It is quick and can play almost every game currently available. I am not a "gamer" but the few hours I played Cyberpunk 2077 were without any problems and the video quality was fine. I could not further comment on gaming performance as I don't play may games however the main selling point for me buying this PC was to upgrade my old Lenovo desktop with a newer, faster model with DisplayPort output on the video card to go with a new monitor of which I use with a 2018 MacBook Pro I also own. I find the boot up time and general response time of both computers to be fairly comparable.
Overall, this is the fasted Windows PC I have ever owned and I tend to buy PC's in the $500-$800 range. The sale price of this PC was thankfully in that range,

Great value for for a starter gaming PC for my son!
I really like the design of the system, especially the drive bays for HDs. Its all pre-wired so all you have to do is slip new HD into caddy and slide it in.
I only wish they had installed dual channel RAM, but cannot complain too much for price.

It's honestly not bad. It gas never crashed, always has stayed pretty fast considering, and has some pretty good upgradable capabilities. It works very well with 3-pin 5v RGB fans, has a decent set of USB ports and the front IO has turned out to be kinda helpful. One thing I've been very surprised about is the airflow, its better than expected. My biggest and really only gripe is the cop out on the power supply. Non-modular 400w? Can't OC or anything like that but holy wow that's small. Other than that, it's a totally doable pre-built that most people are usually nervous of.

So ive been using this for around a week now and so far its great. no issues running games like warzone on high, however some games needed 12 to 16 gb ram but they will run at 60fps on medium. only bad thing is there is no info on how much power is drawn so suggestrion is to upgrave to a 600-650 watt Power supply jjust to be safe if upgrading from i5 to i7 or higher

After upgrading the ram to dual channel, this PC is really good! FPS in games are really high and acceptable. My only concern is the CPU usage where its higher than the GPU usage when playing games such as Fortnite, Valorant, and Star Wars Battlefront 2.

Literally just set this computer up last night. This is my first gaming PC. So far, the setup process was a breeze. Very quiet when powered on. This computer is very fast. SSD is wonderful but could be bigger. I added an additional 8gb viper ram for a total of 16gb. I bought this on sale $729. Would have preferred the ryzen 5 version but it was not on sale at the time. Rgb lights are powered through the Lenovo Vantage app and are a neat visual. First game to test was Fortnite. Consistent 165fps at medium settings with epic view distance. I have an MSI 27" 165hz monitor using displayport. Game play is buttery smooth. I had been playing on Xbox one S at 60fps and I won't go back. I will update/edit this review as needed but so far I am very impressed with this machine. I would recommend this as a great starter pc and looks to be very upgradeable.

Recently switched from xbox to pc for gaming and so far I love it. I was able to snag this tower on sale and it was of equal or better value compared to building a pc. My only complaint is that it has been nearly impossible to find the same brand and model of ram that came with it. Since I'm fairly green I was hoping to just buy another 8gb of the same stick just so I knew there would be zero compatibility issues. Incase anyone is wondering the ram is samsung and the part number is m378a1k43db2-cvf.

Great PC. I immediately upgraded the ram to a Corsair 16GB set. I bought this as a display model and did have some concerns about that. But I took the gamble. I originally would have given this a lower rating because even though the PC performed like a champ I did experience a lot of BSOD problems. If I didn’t do a full system restart before launching a game it it would crash and get the blue screen. I recently upgraded to Windows 11 and I (knock on wood) have not had another BSOD and performance has even improved over what it originally did. I’m glad I waited to review it because I would have rated it a lot lower but now it is a great machine that I wouldn’t trade for anything. I am able to not only play graphics and memory heavy games but also live stream to Twitch with no problem.

This is a pretty decent rig, it does everything it claimed to do. I have run into a problem trying to run more than 1 GPU. I thought it could be a PCIe lane issue, but even using risers and removing the additional HDD the computer fails to boot. BIOS is not super awesome on this thing, so if you're a DIYer at all, you may think twice about this one. But for the majority of people this will perform well.

Not much of a computer gamer, needless to say I'd call myself an amateur here. Really wanted to get back into flying a Cessna 172 again and figured the new flight simulator would be a great opportunity given COVID. Bought some yokes and pedals.... simply stunning. Flight control realism is say 8 of 10 but the graphics are easily a 9.5. Computer is capable of handling the graphics almost maxed out. Right out of the box, easy as could be!
Highly Recommend!!!

This is my first gaming PC and honestly I'm glad I Choose this one. The only thing bad about it is the ram. Since I installed chrome, it eats all the ram. I can't say much since I'm a beginner gamer but i love it. Highly recommend for first time gamers or gamers wanting to switch from console to PC. I play destiny, apex, CS:GO, and wizard 101 as an oldie. i have yet to add more games but im excited.
