    honestly the 1660 super gtx series is really underrated and mostly because of the new cards [30 series] that were available earlier this summer. aside from that i got the legion i5 with 8gb of ram [recommend to upgrade to 16gb or higher] gtx 1660 super oc edition single fan, and overall really love this system. it was really easy to set up it runs games really fast and smoothly I grab apex at 85 lows and 125fps-200fps at mid settings the cooler it comes with is great [also recommend to upgrade to a cooler master series] with the minor upgrades the system will perform at its peak with no problems and I've had it for about a little over a month now and never has it disappointed this is the real bang for your buck system without compromising any features.

    Motherboard bad and ram. Recommend replacing the ram. Bios doesn’t let you change ram speed that’s why motherboard bad. Case ugly. I replaced the ram so the green stick was originally in there. Fornite Benchmarks: Average fps on all high settings not epic is like 95 fps( performance mode doesn’t work on Fornite cause ram you could use performance mode but things won’t just render in) Too lazy to add other benchmarks I also never got my Best Buy reward points for buying this.

    First off I must say for the price point it is hands down the best value on the market during these times. The value is in the graphics card alone. On top of that the desktop that Lenovo put together her in their Legion series has everything about it for customization and upgrading with ease. They allow you to start strong and have options to do what you want where most manufacturers don’t. It’s like here’s our already amazing system but you have the options to spice it up if you want. No issues, great in every component. Advise you to change out the RAM first to add more juice there. After that feel free to add an unlocked core if wanted or even swap a graphics cards.

    This Lenovo PC is a great 1080p gaming computer with good value for the price. With the cost of GPU’s today it’s hard to find a decent gaming pc with a good processor and GTX 1660 for under $1000. It has built in customizable RGB fans and case lighting. There are 2 120mm fans on the front of the case and one 120mm exhaust on the rear. The top of the case is mesh to allow for hot air to vent out. It can be easily upgraded. The power supply is standard size if you want to upgrade from the 400 watt gold 80 plus psu to something bigger and the case has enough room for a 20 or even 30 series graphics card. If you want to add more ram there are 4 slots. If you upgrade the ram you have to use the Lenovo branded sticks to get full speed. If you replace with another brand they will still work but there is no way to set the clock speed in the BIOS. So be aware of that. I would upgrade the ram from the manufacturer unless you are fine with adding more ram limited to a clock speed of 2133mhz for DDR4. Otherwise search for the same part number or buy more ram from Lenovo to get higher speeds. All in all it’s a good value with a decent build quality and system cooling. It looks nice and is fairly easy to upgrade. You won’t be playing the newest titles on Ultra or High settings but you can get decent frame rates on Medium settings for 1080p gaming.

    I have been looking for a new PC for video editing and other standard uses. I am not a gamer. I have been looking for well over 2 1/2 years. The outrageous prices, as well as the scarcity of graphics cards made the choices almost nil up to this point. I've had this PC for about a month now, and overall, I am satisfied with the performance. The Intel i5 11th Gen 14000 has a rated speed of 2.60GHZ, but I often attain a speed of over 4.00GHz. I upgraded to 2x16GB DDR4 3200 RAM from the 8GB DDR4 installed, but am getting a speed of only 2667MHz. If I'm not mistaken, the nature of this PC does not allow for attaining 3200MHz full speed. I can live with that. I also attached a 1TB SSD USB external drive. I am pleased with the graphics, except for the fact that the Nvidia GTX 1660 Super has only 6GB VRAM. It has 1 HDMI port, 1 DisplayPort, and 1 DVI. Note: In Best Buy's specs, it lists the GPU as integrated. This is incorrect. Is a completely separate dedicated, independent graphics card.

    The pc went pretty good in the beginning and still does but the two problem i have with it is the fact that it has 1 stick of ram but its fine cause i replaced it with a better one, and the fact it had a blue screen of death twice but never after, and I have never found out why but it still works like a charm.

    This computer is great. It has played all of the games I have thrown at it. It plays all games on high settings at a stable 120-160 frames per second. Only games I have a problem playing is 5M. You just need more RAM. Overall this computer it great for the price and i would recommend.

    Solid Entry level gaming pc

    To start, purchased this pc during the parts shortages (especially GPUs), so the price markup on this was annoying, but so is everything else. That said, this is an overall great entry level pc. After reviewing multiple PCs and the possibility of building my own, I decided on Lenova based on price/value for parts plus the additional security of customer service (both BB return policy plus Lenovo support). The only downside to this is the memory. With only 8 GB Ram, you really torque that quickly with most games. The GPU can handle most games at medium settings comfortably. Currently run Apex Legends on mostly medium settings. Once I add an additional 8GB, I will feel more comfortable with higher settings, especially playing some open world rpg type games. Opening the case, I noticed everything seems solid and secured properly. Wire management is decent and mostly out of the way, so upgrading would be easy. Overall, Despite buying a pc during this high market pricing, this was a good purchase.

    Really impressed with the performance on this PC for the money. This is my first gaming PC I’ve ever purchased and it feels great, I’m getting 90-120 FPS on warzone and 150+ on regular multiplayer. Not to mention it looks good, is very quite and very easy to setup.

    Crazy good value for the price. I bought this to upgrade my day trading station and it is hyper quick. I have yet to play any games on it but runs all of my trading software flawlessly. I also plan to mine some MRR Ethash while I am not using it and let it generate an extra $2.5 a day, because why not. The RGB lights work however it does set itself to the factory default of blinking on every reboot. Did I mention it is lighting fast.

    I bought this computer for my son, who is an avid gamer. He loves it. it will be great when he returns to school and has homework he has to do. It's very fast and the graphics are amazing because he has a matching gaming monitor as well. It took no time to set up and get him started using it.

    Great build for the price range. With computer parts and pre-builts being expensive ever since the pandemic, its hard to find an affordable prebuilt that can handle modern games. Happy to say this prebuilt is the perfect budget/entry build. Works smooth, consistent, and is able to get me 160-200 frames on Valorant.

    The pc has been running great with every game, etc I've tried but attempting to troubleshoot some issues with the pc has been a hassle. Customer service is not terrible but every representative you talk to is likely helping multiple others at the same time so you will be left in the dark at times until they are free to reply. I've also been trying to figure out what parts, etc this pc has which was easy up until today as they've redone the website and now I can't find any information on my pc. I bookmarked this tab that took me right to all the information regarding this pcs hardware and the components you can switch out but now that URL takes me to a search and even when I found my pc the layout makes it impossible to find everything I'm looking for and now somethings are not even in English????? Please fix the support website

    A decent starting point for what I have been looking for. I've had it a couple years at this point, and it works well as a general rule. It struggles to run some of my more intensive games, especially Baldur's Gate 3. It's a good starter.
