very sleek, fast performance, very capable and a great value for what’s in it. I have only done minimal gaming and video editing thus far but that was the reason behind the purchase. Performs very well. Lots of neat color features. I bought it during a promotion and had received an additional $150 off. Very happy with it this far and would recommend to anyone looking for an introductory PC for video editing and light gaming.

I bought this PC strictly to compete in the upcoming Fortnite World Cup. In the past month this PC has exceeded all of my expectations! It is able to get a consistent 144 FPS during public matches and during competitive matches in crowded lobbies I usually sit at anywhere between 100-130 FPS! This PC is a perfect beginner PC and does everything I need and more! The colors add a very cool touch as well!

The build of this HP desktop computer is great straight out of the box. If you're are an average gamer look no further as this unit comes with 16GB RAM and a decent GPU which tends to be fast and powerful enough for most games. My first impression of the unit was quality. Boot up times were smooth and fast, taking only a few seconds. Playing most games was an easy task for this unit with no noticeable slow downs.
The unit is easily customizable with additional memory, and other components as it has space inside of the tower. If you are looking for those ultra high state of the art components you will inevitably have to shell out hundreds of additional dollars to modify this unit or purchase another product.
One really awesome plus is having a glass side to the tower. This allows you to see directly inside the unit. You can make your decisions on the placement of your upgraded components without opening up the tower and the display of colors is cool.
The1Terrabyte of storage coupled with the 256 GB SSD should meet your storage appetite. The supplied keyboard and mouse are definitely on the flimsy side, but did perform adequately. Hard core gamers will opt in and probably purchase better ones.
What's the verdict you may be asking? For the price of the unit, you can't do much better for the money. So far I am very pleased with this desktop and it's performance. At it's price point definitely worth every penny.

I was a little hesitant to pick this up do to the 3gb card. But I'm glad I did. I saved a bunch of money and this thing runs BF5,FN and other new games, wonderfully! The included mouse and keyboard are not great though.

Shipped On Time and Works Like a Charm

The tower was shipped in a box with foam reinforcement inside, preventing any damage done to it. When we opened the box, the tower was in pristine condition and ran smooth as butter once we hooked up the monitor. The fans weren't as loud as we had expected them to be; they were still able to be heard, but they aren't anywhere near loud, even when it's put under stress of a massive amount of programs. I'd recommend this to just about anybody who's into gaming!

Fix for beeping bios issue as many else have.
I was having the same issue, so we returned the computer to exchange only to have the beeping happen with the new PC.
Go to https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/detect (this is OEM HP)
Then go down and update the BIOS drivers (shouldn't take more than 5 minutes total).
Problem solved :-)
