Good PC
on May 19, 2020

Purchased this computer today. It works great, upgraded from a computer that was over 8 years old.
Be advised - There is a VGA and DVI-D port on the back of the computer, however there is no video reader connected to the motherboard. There is however 1 HDMI input and three Display Ports so if you have the old VGA/DVI-D cables (White and blue) you will need to purchase new plug in cables or adapters for them.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had this PC for 1 week. And I have not had a single issue with it. It is amazing. I would recommend this PC to anyone looking for a good PC at a really good price.

Purchased for my sons as a gaming computer. I havent encountered a game it cannot handle running games at their full potential - rust, doom eternal, raft, warzone, battlegrounds 2, half life alyx and more... Everything works as it should at a great price point. I hesitated buying something like this for years and now I wish I had purchased it sooner. As someone that's not tech savvy and never sure what he's buying with this stuff and I think I really lucked out...

Great Gaming PC

I have had this PC for a little over a week and I'm really enjoying it! I bought this because I wanted to build a gaming PC but GPUs are hard to come by.
PROS:
-I feel that this system is a good deal considering the GPU shortage. Because of this, prices are unreasonably high and I have seen GTX 2070 Supers going for $2800+ so for quite a bit less than that you can get a whole PC.
-This system has very minimal bloatware, considerably less than my Acer Nitro laptop had and its easy to uninstall programs that you do not want.
-RGB in the case is very bright and customizable.
-Performance is very good. I play Warzone on high and consistently get 100+ FPS.
-The case is pretty big. I intend on upgrading the motherboard eventually and it seems like there is a lot of room to do so.
-The PC is wifi capable. I prefer an ethernet connection because it is faster and it does have an ethernet port.

CONS:
-The motherboard it comes with only has 2 ram slots.
-It comes with 1 stick of 16GB ram. It still performs well with this but I will be changing it out with 2 sticks of 8GB ram.
-Ryzen 7 3700x does tend to run a little hot. I have had idling temps of 63° and underload, playing Warzone for example, it tends to bounce around between 65° - 80°. I will be replacing the CPU cooler.
-The case does not come with a lot of fans so there is minimal airflow, which i am sure also contributes to the high CPU temps as well. It comes with one rear exhaust fan, the GPU has 1 fan, and 1 CPU cooler fan. I have bought some 120MM fans and there should be room to put 2 on the front of the case and 2 on the top.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Like most pre-built computers there are some small things here and there that could make it better and they're easy to fix.

great minus some things that can have been better

This computer truly is a good system for gaming and multitasking. But the ram and cooling isn't great. First the ram includes only one stick and only 2 slots on the motherboard for expansion( for those who don't know only having 1 stick of ram of any speed is slower buy a lot compared to 2 or 4 sticks). Also the cooler is meh for this system. the reason why I say this is because this CPU runs hot and under high performance tasks gets about 10 or so degrees under danger and is also quite loud. the fan is also only pulling cool air in and there is no 2nd fan that pulls it out and is also loud. But even after those things this system is still great and for the price is pretty good but with these few fixes would bring this system to its full RTX potential

Good specs, low build quality.

As expected, the case isn't great quality. The plastic creaks frequently when moved, i feel like the front panel could be easily snapped off. The CPU cooler looks like it was taken off of an early 2010s dell pc. The 2070s only has the one fan, so temps will spike easily. However, RGB lighting looks very nice, I can run any game I want at max settings, I just need to keep an eye on my temps. The display ports on the back are hard to use as even when oriented correctly, brand new cables don't want to plug in. DON'T buy at full price, wait for a sale. 4 stars as its the only way to get a 2070s and 3700x currently.

Loud, only 1 stick of RAM

Overall ok system, for a somewhat comfy high FPS, 1440p gaming.
Thin-ish, but tall (because of a handle on top).

Cons (photos are not representative of the actual case content):
- low tier ASUS 2070S with only one fan (not the biggest problem given... scalpers' time)
- tiny cooler and heatsink on 3700x
- only one stick of probably unmatchable RAM...

Didn't want to put more money into CPU/case cooling and RAM, so returned.
Would have kept it if price was much lower, to accommodate upgrades.
