I have an older custom ibuy that runs awesome after 7 years now. The kids needed something also. We purchased this for them. I couldn't even hear it running over my other ibuy. Actually I couldn't hear it at all and I was sitting right beside it. The size is awesome and yes very large. It started up just fine. Everything went smooth. Installed numerous games they play and some new ones for them also including Fallout 4 and ARK. Tested them at Ultra settings on my 32" LCD. No flaws, no heat, everything smooth. Other games tested, Minecraft, Garden Warfare, Spore, Garys Mod. Also tested some Youtube in 4K. Worked awesome. Had to cut some metal away from the hdmi outputs on the back of the case. This always seems to be an issue with every custom pc tho. May add more fans over time. The case is a perfect setup for additional fans. Also will add a stronger power supply at some point. The bigger the better with them. The wireless is usb with an extension and is decent. I hard wired the pc for gaming tho. Put it in the closet until Christmas morning. Fingers crossed all goes well again ;). Any questions I will try and answer them for you.

3 out of 5Don't make the same mistake I did (Honest Review)!
By CosmicKitty
First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this review!
I purchased this computer thinking that because of the 2TB Hard Drive size, and 16GB of RAM, that this machine would be very good at playing newer games at decent graphical settings, at reasonable frames. I was terribly wrong, and of course ignorant then. But now that i've had my hands on this computer for roughly around a year, I have a few things to say about it...
DO NOT buy this computer if you plan on playing multiple games or MMO's, at high graphical settings, and expecting 45-60 FPS (especially graphically intensive games). Because of the outdated GPU, and starter level CPU, this PC struggles at games like Warframe, Warface, Besiege, Tera, and occasionally Guild Wars 2.
I even considered upgrading the GPU on this PC, and that was an expensive struggle! What they do not tell you, is that this computer has a 350 watt Power Supply, which is VERY low for Gaming PC standards. If you'd want to install a GeForce GTX 980 on this PC, you'd have to buy AT LEAST a 500 watt Power Supply, and a new computer tower (the 980 is a huge Graphics Card, and would not fit in the PC I was given). You may even have to upgrade your motherboard! All that is well over $650! With that much money, you might as well buy a whole new computer!
With that being said, because of the minimal GPU, and CPU I would recommend this to people who are new to PC Gaming and doesn't plan on playing too many games, or playing MOBA's and other smaller games due to their minimal graphical requirements: Garrys Mod, Hearthstone, League of Legends, DOTA 2, Smite, etc.
In conclusion, if you just want a computer to play a few MOBA's or smaller games with your friends, I would say buy this PC. However I would recommend to anyone who plans on owning a Gaming Computer, to build your own! Doing so will gain you knowledge to your own computers strengths, and what it can and can not handle.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read this review! This was written to those of you who were seriously considering buying this computer, so that you would have a better understanding of what you were spending your money on.
P.S.: This PC is overpriced.

Not sure what you expected but I know what I'm buying before I buy it and this is a great option for the price. Guess you didn't know what you was getting, hence your title "mistake". Great review after we got thru your rant tho. Look into your video cards before purchasing. Know that prebuilts with low prices come with the minimal psu. I have a 600 watt psu n.i.b. and a gtx750ti 4gb ready to drop in this bad boy. Otherwise this is a great starter pc for those not so demanding games, as you said. No this pc is not what you want if you plan on upgrading to high end with a 1080. The motherboards do play a major factor with higher end gaming pcs. The fx6300 is a great processor for gaming. I use the 6300 in all my gamers, yes even the ones I consider high end. As long as they are on a good motherboard and power supply {psu}. 16gb ram is awesome. 2tb hdd is awesome. Wireless for those who want that is awesome. usb 3.0 ports.. heck ya.. End of may ranting +review of your rant + review.

Being a builder and knowing what I know about PCs, Servers and the like, I had to comment on EVGA and the only review on this product. I'd also like to say that with the exception of only (1) and I can absolutely attest to this fact, every EVGA card I've ever used in a build FAILED at some point. In this over priced mess the fan stopped. DO NOT let a sales rep talk you into EVGA because it might work for him or the EVGA Marketing Rep is shoving the rhetoric out hard that month. Buyer beware, you will be sorry.

Never had a problem with anything EVGA myself. I prefer their products actually. I can not count on my hands and toes how many EVGA video cards I have had either. Sorry for your luck. This video card is excellent and priced in the same market as other sites. EVGA has excellent customer support. Sorry for your luck...
