    Ngl, everything came in perfect condition for me. My package took 4 days instead of a week. I recommend upgrading some parts like the other people said. I upgraded the ram myself to T-Force Vulcan Z 32gb 3600mhz . The PC came in with XPG Gammix D10 3200 MHz. i7-11700KF 3080 Ventus 3x 10G OC LHR Motherboard is Z590 Pro WiFi (CEC) 1tb idk the brand (sad part is it’s split up into two storage.) 572 Gb and the other is 362 gb Upgrade the Cpu cooler to a 240mm since this one came with 120mm Upgrade storage too if possible. With the upgrades I did, I spent like $2500 in total by upgrading the ram and the cpu cooler. The package protected the pc pretty well.

    Overall, the system ended up begin a great purchase especially with how the market is for GPU's. A few things to note though : - Reviews are right with the CPU cooler not being sufficient enough to cool the 11700KF, I replaced mine with a Noctua NH-U12a and idle temps are much better around mid 30's now. - Replacing the CPU cooler was tricky, the pump was daisy chained to one of the front fans and the connecter was wrapped in tape. The backplate of the cooler was also stuck with double-sided adhesive so some force was required. Besides those two points replacing was no different than other builds. - My system did come with the extra power supply cables (since this one is modular) however it did not come with an extra M.2 screw for the second slot for my motherboard. Great system regardless, and packaging came with nice foam to protect impact and nothing was damaged or loose Parts I received: CPU - i7 11700KF Motherboard - MSI z590 Pro Wifi (CEC) GPU - MSI Ventus 3x OC 3080 LHR Ram - XPG 3000 16GB PSU - MSI MPG A750GF SSD - MSI M370 1TB Case - MSI Gungnir 110R w/ 3 Front Intake Fans (just replaced ram and cpu cooler for better ones and planning to add an extra 1TB of storage)

    Overall, I am quite satisfied with my purchase after putting in a larger aio and extra exhaust. Going in to buying this prebuilt I did have my worries of the 120mm aio cooler. On MSI’s site, they even recommend a 280mm aio for the i7-11700kf. Straight out of the box, cooling is an issue for CPU heavy gaming/tasks. Hit the throttle limits of 100C while playing Warzone crashing the entire PC. Having 3 intake fans that are covered by case’s front panel and the aio for the only exhaust made the system heat up quickly, As an interim solution I removed the case’s front panel to allow full airflow through the intake which is covered by a filter. However, this wasn’t enough for long sessions and would have to remove the side tampered glass as well. While improved airflow and allowing heat to escape the case lowered the CPU temps, it still ran hot and was also allowing dust to enter the build. After changing the AIO to a 240mm AIO top mounted as an exhaust and adding a 120mm exhaust in the back CPU temps run high 40s low 50s max setting. I’ll note that I ended up changing the 3 front intake fans as well, but this is due to the fact that I bought Corsair Aio and additional fan and the MSI fans RGB were unable to operate through the Corsairs Commander Core. Undervolting the 3080 in here is highly recommended for decreased GPU temps as well! Very easy to do and YouTube will help you easily. Overall, getting this at MSRP takes the sting out of the additional money that was put into it. Just take a couple of hours and improve the cooling!

    Had for 8 months and now I’m running into cpu temp issues. All you need to do is upgrade aio cooler and upgrade ram and this pc is ready to go. Thing is a beast. Runs almost all games in max graphics at 4K and 2k. No need for intel i9 either the intel i7 in this thing is a beast. I run warzone at max graphics besides shadows and get 2k 165fps smoothly. Recently ran into cpu temp issues tho and it cause stuttering. That’s the only issue. Upgrade to 240mm aio is the only needed upgrade.

    Okay this pic works amazing it looks nice and runs nice but when looking at my storage it only shows that I have 591 gigs of storage and 1 terabyte like It says in the name of the pc. This is very frustrating because now I have to go and buy a SSD and put it into my pc other than that the pc works great but I do hope I can get in contact with someone so they can help me fix my issue

    Amazing PC. Love the 3080 and the cooling is great at keeping things cool. Everything runs fast and flawless. I do wish there was a 3rd M2 slot like the board should have but looks like they shorted to the board a slot for oem.

    All the components were in the machine as advertised. It might have gotten jostled a bit in transit as the graphics card wasn't seated properly but after reseating it she booted up without a hitch. Blistering fast. Comes with NVME drive.

    Performance and Visuals are top-notch. Cooling is a continuing challenge, I ended up replacing the CPU AIO with a 360mm radiator to get temps under 90 average. Still hovering around 80 degrees C under full load. Just not enough airflow with this case. GPU and GPU bracket came un-tightened, PCIe slot is a little bent but working. Bought the prebuilt instead of parting out my own due to GPU shortage, so it is what it is.

    This is my first exposure to a true gaming pc. So far it has been more than capable in running all the games I want. From Escape from Tarkov to Minecraft. Warzone and Valorant run smoothly and look good. It was able to handle New World smoothly as well! I’m impressed with its aesthetics as well. RGB looks good though I dont care mich for it. Runs quiet for only having 4 fans. I might add 2 more if possible. I played for 7 hours at one point and the pc worked great throughout. $2350ish was a good price considering it has a 3080.

    You surely have been waiting for supply to start to show up and see the various price points as I was for last year, so then you see it AMD or Intel, still on the fence oh there’s a 3080 on this one it’s got the killer SSD, good chipset, pull the trigger! Finally! I’ve been happy with this a month into it, meets all my gaming and workstation needs, I stream webcasts on the daily while background running 60+fps. Handles it like a beast.

    This was a great pc but if you get it I'd recommend upgrading the cooling system by quite a bit. The single fan radiator is just not powerful enough to keep things cool.

    This system is so fast. I upgraded from a system with a 2070 Super and it is a noticeable upgrade. It runs all of my games and creative applications with ease. The only issue I have is that the cooler that came with it is not sufficient to cool the 11700k with heavy loads for long periods of time. I replaced the cooler with the MSI 360R cooler and it ran cooler.

    A better PC than I could build for the same cost

    I've been wanting to make the switch from Ryzen to Intel for a while now. The game that I play most often (Destiny 2) runs better on Intel than it does on AMD. Looking at paying scalper prices for a 3080, i7, motherboard, and PSU that I'd need to support the 3080, the total cost was higher than just buying this PC. I'm going to be adding storage to it, as well as more RAM from my old system, but what it comes with is very decent. Other pros: Quiet, powerful, flashy (if you're into that) The liquid cooling is nice too, it's my first time using liquid cooling, so I'm looking forward to that. High quality parts, pretty much everything in this MSI system is MSI brand parts. No cheaping out here. Cons: Few and far between. It did not come pre-loaded with Windows 11 like the listing says, but an older version (1909) of Windows 10. I turned on TPM in the BIOS and then upgraded to Windows 11. I wish it would have come with an app for controlling the RGB, I'm going to have to research that and find out what's out there. Lastly, the included RAM is a little slow at 2666mhz, I'll be putting 3200mhz stuff in there instead.

    Kind of a hassle, but can't find a 3080

    I've been building gaming PCs for many years. Been unable to get my hands on a 3080, so decided to get this. Parts were the same as other reviews, and really not bad, only complaint I have is SSD is PCIe version 3 rather than 4, which this motherboard does support, on one slot. So really, if you want to add a PCIe 4x4 SSD you can still use this one that came with it in the second slot. But came with an MSI Z590 Pro motherboard, XPG RAM, MSI Ventus 3080. Has Wi-Fi 6E. USB-C ports on front and back. Oh and, as many others have said, the CPU cooling is questionable. Playing non-cpu-intensive games, CPU temps hover around 70-80. Playing something like Battlefield, the temps frequently are hitting in the 90's. Usually try to keep temps lower than that, but really, I don't know if hitting the 90's sometimes is really going to affect the longevity of the system. I think it's better safe than sorry with something this expensive. I don't know why they have to use AIO's, really a be quiet or noctua normal cooler would be quieter, cheaper, and cooler, but it doesn't have fancy RGB lights. The GPU seems to sag a great deal. It has like an anti-sag bracket, but that's at like an angle so it's like sagging right along with the GPU. Might have to tweak that a bit. Even aside from all of that though, I found out of the box the fans were loud. Mainly at idle, at load it's not too bad, but typically when I build my own computer I can make it nearly silent, at least at idle. Can probably tweak fan profiles a bit to fix that though, or get new fans. Performance wise, 3080 is amazing, but at 1440p I find the 11700k bottlenecks it a bit, mainly just in Battlefield 5 so far. GPU usage can go as low as like 60-70%, and the CPU is maxed out at near 100%. It didn't seem to be throttled due to temps. Still getting over like 120 fps so really not a big deal. Most games seem to stick to at least 90%+ gpu usage (at 1440p). And on my 4K TV that's not a problem at all. So, really, a bottleneck in one specific game at a somewhat lower resolution by today's standards I don't think is enough to justify upgrading the CPU. So, ultimately, I'm not sure about this. I'd really prefer a founder's edition 3080, this ends up costing a bit more, already, than building it myself, and on top of that I'm probably going to need to replace the CPU cooling, possibly fans to make them quieter, and another review indicated they glue the CPU cooler bracket to the motherboard, which sounds like a real hassle. You would think a bonus of a pre-built system would be that it's, you know, pre-built, but you can tell this was thrown together as quickly as possible so you have to tweak it quite a bit to get it to a good place. It also only has one PCIe 4x4 slot, if you want fastest SSD speeds you have to get another 4x4 SSD. But, it's pretty much impossible to find a 3080 on it's own, so you're stuck with this. TPM is also turned off by default, so if you want to install Windows 11 you'll need to go into BIOS and enable it.

    I'm loving this PC. It has been rock solid with all my games and is built well. Just need to use MSI center to set the balanced mode so the fans arent blasting. I added an M.2 drive for enough game storage with fastest possible load times. Also be sure to go into the bios and turn on XMP so the RAM runs at full speed.

    Very good for the price unfortunately you will definitely need to do something about the cpu getting so hot and for some reason MSI had the back fans sucking air from the inside pushing out? I switch those around added two more fans to the top helped alot is sad after spending so much money youll haft to buy more parts but over all I am happy with this buy

    Looks great and runs great apart from the CPU cooling. While it hasn't throttled itself yet (that I've noticed) it does run quite hot. I checked and MSI actually only recommends up to an i5 11600K on their website for the 120mm AIO, pretty funny. Somewhat disappointed that they would cheap out on that, will likely be upgrading it at some point.

    Bought a prebuilt from ASUS and returned it because its cores were reaching 90 Celsius while idle, causing the PC to shut off instantly. I did not expect much from this prebuilt, and it has absolutely blown me away. Absolutely no problems whatsoever, everything is at low temperatures nigh constantly. If you are looking at those other prebuilts that are $2000 and wondering if this one is worth the extra money, it is (especially because of the gpu market). I saw other reviewers receive this item DOA, which indicates QC issues. Just hope you don't get a broken one, because if it works, it will work well.
