Best Bang For Your Buck

Honestly this pc is perfect! no issues at all, plays games at hight fps (Warzone ranges around 160fps). Just the gpu+cpu and motherboard together is worth more than the msrp with the rate of how much parts are these days.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Pc, Buy this, especially if it’s on sale

Great machine if you’re looking to get into the PC market. Sub par power supply and ram can easily be replaced, running it stock is completely fine running games such as warzone, fortnite, gpu temp maxes at 65C editing HD video in DaVinci resolve 17 runs at extremely low temp. The air flow could be better in this case but extra fans can easily be added overall it’s a cool case and the rbg looks great ( would highly recommend 2 sticks of rbg ram added to this build, cause why not lol) If you adjust setting properly in game this thing runs anywhere from 150-200 frames solid with the stock ram depending on what game you’re playing. If your looking for you’re ‘forever’ pc I would respectfully say this isn’t it, but if your looking for a powerful machine that you can make some small upgrades to overtime this is perfect for you. 2070 super runs like a dream. PC REG is real brothers and sisters get off that console ASAP!!

Pretty Good

I've had this PC for a few months now with very few issues. I like the lack of bloatware and quick start up time. The CPU and GPU fan speeds can be controlled manually from the Armoury Crate app so you can turn them up if you want to prevent overheating. I use a 4k monitor through the display port and everything looks great! The only issue I have is it doesn't recognize my mouse when I start it up so I always have to switch USB ports. I've used it for both gaming and mining without any issues. Probably one of the better PC's you can get right now.

Pros:
- Best configuration for the given price, especially with RTX 2070S
- Looks lit

Cons:
- Bit noisy (never had a gaming pc before). But still feel like the noise is little to high

Pros & Cons:
- I thought the Ram would come with 8+8 gig. But it is a single 16 gig chip leaving one slot for ram where we can upgrade to 32 if we need to in the future(Though I hope machine performs well if both the ram slot is occupied)

The setup was super easy. It took 2 hours from opening the box to having everything loaded, transferred (incl games). The system runs so fast that its worth every cent.

This thing destroys competition

You definitely need a good monitor. I'm using the VG27AQ (which is a 1440p monitor at 165hz IPS) or get the XL2540 (Which is a 240hz 1080p monitor). If you aren't going to invest into a monitor don't get this PC. Overall super fast computer. Only complains I have is the mother board and CPU cooler. The mother board could use a upgrade, but it dosen't matter. The CPU reaches 70-85 playing on max settings. Which is fine.(danger zone is in the 90s). In the future ill be upgrading the cooler first.
PS: Your monitor will be you longest lasting thing in you setup, so I wouldn't be cheap on that

Great PC with unbeatable price

This is a great PC and unless you're a gaming snob, this will satisfy all your needs. While others have stated that the motherboard isn't the greatest (it isn't), it does just fine in its vanilla configuration and the GPU is incredible. With the 8-core Ryzen 7 and a an 8GB 2070S, there aren't many games out there right now or in the near future that can't run on Ultra. If you want, you can throw in another 16GB of RAM and be set for a very long time. It will honestly be a long time before anything really pushes this machine unless you truly believe that you need all the frames in the world to get an edge on your competition (e.g. if you wanna be an e-sports superstar, you need to spend more money). Anywhere else, this same configuration will cost you $400+ so Best Buy is your one-stop shop and what better way to spend those savings than on an adaptive sync monitor to get the most out of your beastly video card?
That said, it's not a perfect machine and there are some weird downsides. One is that there is no optical out which admittedly most people won't notice, but anyone who has an optical-based amp for their audio will now find it useless. More importantly is the lack of a secondary HDD bay or extra SATA connection, at least none that I could find. While the 512GB SDD holds your baked-in copy of Windows 10 and should be good enough for your most intensive games, the 2TB HDD was a bit small for me and I assumed there would be at least one more HDD bay for expansion. Instead, what I found was that the case has some weird box surrounding the bottom-mounted HDD and no extra connections. The only way to get the 6TB I had picked up along side the PC was to remove the 2TB and slot in the 6TB which was more of a chore than it needed to be because of that box and the bottom-mount. Definitely not a great choice in case configuration. However, it's not really a big deal since I can throw the 2TB into an enclosure and use it as external storage.
In the end, for the price, this is a really powerful machine that should satisfy most peoples' needs. Anything out right now is going to run silky smooth and while there may be a title or two that may be stressed on Ultra, I can't imagine this PC struggling to play anything on typical High settings. If you're shopping for your kids (adpot me), they will be absolutely happy with this no matter what Youtubers have told them. If you're shopping for yourself and like to play the current wave of games, you should be more than satisfied. If you're looking for a customizable, upgradable, tweakable powerhouse PC, then you need to be spending more or building your own.
