Customers admire the Blaze II Gaming Desktop's performance, noting its ability to smoothly run various games and applications, even after extended use. Its ease of setup and user-friendly interface are also frequently praised. However, some users have reported issues with the USB ports, including functionality problems and, in one case, a fire hazard. Despite this drawback, the overall value for the price is considered positive by many.

After a lot of research on entry-level gaming PCs, I was initially excited to order this product.
However, I was extremely disappointed to find mine was not built well. The benefit of a pre-built PC should be the execution, but whoever put this together left a fan cable loose and then screwed other parts on top of it.
As you can see in the picture, this left a cable in-between the IO shield (metal plate covering ports) and the top USB ports, blocking them.
Adding insult, the product actually includes a maintenance "checklist" hand signed by someone from the manufacturer, implying high quality construction. That means either their "checklist" is fake or the person doing it wasn't very good. Neither of which are acceptable.

Pc is great! The only issue I had is that it didn’t come with the power cord or wifi antennas but skytech was very helpful and sent them out to me as soon as possible!

Great pc but.. So I’ve had this pc for roughly 2 months now. I just upgraded to a R7 3700x no problems. But I noticed something today. When I loaded up task manager to check my gpu it says a 1650. But clearly it “has a 1660” So overall a great pc but didn’t have the correct specs.

My son loves it and thank goodness, because I felt horrible when we purchased this same computer "new" from Amazon for Christmas and it had been opened already and the admin password set so he couldn't even set it up. Then had to wait over two weeks for Amazon to refund our money. What a nightmare. Son could tell that computer from Best Buy was actually new! Thanks for your transparency!

I would definitely say pretty good pc for starters. Good performance the only downside I had with this was memory. I think 8gb of ram is a bit less but nothing that can’t be changed with another purchase lol

I purchased this as a gift and was saddened that a wire was not placed correctly so the USB ports on top did not work, but after a long wait phone call with the support team all was well. A great machine at a great price.
