Great system for entry level. I7 and 2070 card is great.
Wont find a similar setup with any custom shop for less that 1600.
USB ports not in a great spot; top of tower, should be down low. Makes cable mgmt easier.

I was a little scared about the fans and the BSOD issue with the pc before I bought the product, but I decided this was a really good choice so I bought it anyways thinking I can return it if there is an issue. Luckily, I got the pc and once I hooked it up to my monitor the setup was fast and easy and the cable management and connections within the pc were amazing. After, I got the pc set up I downloaded all of my games on it and I had no issue with BSOD and overheating, because I was worried about overheating, I constantly checked thermals and found no issue. Overall, I think some people just got a pc with a faulty part or another issue because my pc I got worked well and I have not had any issues with graphics, pc speed, and the pc overall. The pc is a little big, but it was able to fit under my desk perfectly fine. I would definitely recommend this pc to someone who is willing to pay for the price because of the quality and the performance the pc comes with.

So I've never really been a PC kind of guy, however I did have my first laptop be windows and later bought a mac book pro 13 inch. I no longer enjoy my ps4 pro so I wanted to buy a really good PC that's not overpriced. I copped this PC like 2 weeks ago online and they said it would arrive on weds. After having to reroute shipping to a UPS location I picked it up on weds after i got a delay warning. I opened it right out the box and set it up, But I was taken straight to the BIOS page. After many hours of looking if there was a broken piece or cable I found that the computer wasn't detecting the SATA SDD drive and had to call them. MSI online is terrible service, I ended up calling a representative and they were nice enough to tell me that I could send it back to MSI for repairs but it would take around 3 weeks. I instead decided to call Bestbuy and try to do a refund or exchange. Thankfully when I got to the store the next day they said they had the computer in Stock! so I didn't have to wait a week for the new one. I set it up right out the box and it works! Ran some games like minecraft and LOL and they run like butter on the high hundreds frames. Would give it a 5 if it weren't for the defective first one!

My daughter needed a new computer so she could use her Oculus Rift. So we did our homework, and for quality and price this one seemed to be the best offer. We were right! No issues with gaming now and everything else is super fast when using it.

I’ve only been using it for one day but it’s been doing fine cpu temp when I’m just watching YouTube or some is around 35- 40( Celsius) and on fortnite which isn’t a very demanding game ranged between 50-65 I see a lot of reviews complaining about the cooler and if you are planning on buying this pc and changing the cpu cooler you have a lot of space to work with overall a good prebuilt though. I’ll try to update this in the future to see how well the pc is running .

I've had this pc for about 3 weeks now and its worked perfect except when it first came in. I tried to plug my ethernet in and it didn't work saying it was plug in but no internet connection. after trying to figure it out and calling msi they tried to tell me to download a missing driver and update the pc. after doing all this it still didn't work so they said I would have to return it back. but after reseting the pc I plug the ethernet in and it worked. it runs all my games very smooth and with great graphics. would definitely recommend it to someone else.

Bought this computer for iRacing. Runs great at highest graphics settings. Paired with Omen 27i 2k monitor. Runs over 200 fps at 1440.
Only complaint is the size of the tower. It's huge.

So I waited to review this for a few months so that I can provide a good hands on review. Overall the PC is a solid entry level gaming rig. The keyboard I received with the system was damaged beyond repair and along with the mouse are very low quality devices.
If you are looking to upgrade beyond the basics to customize your rig, good luck.
MSI Mystic Light is not compatible with Corsair iCue, Coolmaster ARGB hub and other lighting systems. iCue causes system instability and the CM hub requires a 5v connect and MSI decided to only have a 12v connector in this system. I have tried 2 separate 12v to 5v converters that do not work with this system.
Mystic Light is unstable and bland with very limited options compared to their competitors. It will often just stop controlling the lighting and leave you stuck with the last settings until it randomly decides to work.
Furthermore, there are very few options for case lights and fans. If you change one, you change them all and there is NO way to separate them so I hope you really like the same effect on your whole system. I personally do not. Oh and did I mention that this is not controlled in the software? Nope, this is controlled by a little button on the case itself. This makes zero sense to me.
They provide an opotion to change MB and GPU lights, but MB does not change anything at all.
After all the frustration with this system, I will opt to not purchase another MSI product.

i bought this prebuilt back in may. The system performs very well on high settings getting around 160-180 fps on mw and 500+ in csgo. i haven’t had any problems since. the only downside about this pc is the cpu and motherboard. you can’t get the full potential of your ram and you performance due to the cpu and motherboard. overall this pc is amazing coming from a person that plays competitively.

1. The first thing I noticed was a broken mouse.
2. After getting it plugged in I noticed only 2/3 of the led lights on the fans worked.
3. I was still planning on using it so I got everything set up and found out that the display port didn’t work.
4. (By the way I had to shave all 3 display plug ins to get them to even attach to the computer) Unfortunately I needed to use all 3 display options so I almost tried to jump through hoops to have a new graphics card shipped in. But a (super helpful) customer service rep helped me by telling me that they get a lot of calls about cyber-power, and that they are a crap brand.
5. When I was unplugging my new computer to send it back I noticed that nearly %100 of the ports were flimsy and loosely connected to the back panel of the computer.
I bought an MSI computer to replace the cyber power pc, and it’s working splendidly.
