Title: Great budget gaming machine; great build quality (with a minor exception)
Review: A similarly specced machine would cost $200-$400 more at Dell or HP, so this is a very good deal. The 2TB SSD is what really sold me on this particular model. It's easily fast enough to play the games I play (all of which are at least 3 years old) at max settings. I also do a lot of video work, and rendering jobs that I used to run overnight (on a 2-year-old Core I5 with 16GB RAM and low-end video card) can now be done in under 30 minutes.I do have two complaints:1) The instructions that come with it are totally wrong for setup. I looked everywhere for screws to take the side panels off, only to find that there aren't any - everything is magnetic. There are YouTube videos about working with the case if you do a search (the case model is on the side of the cardboard box everything comes in).2) In taking the case apart to see if I could fit another hard drive, I found that some wires in the bottom area of the case were blocking the bottom fan (which I didn't even realize was there) so that it couldn't turn. So I recommend taking both sides off the case and poking around a bit to make sure no fans are blocked by cables before using.One other note: You'll also want to buy a much better wifi antenna than what comes with it to attach to the back of the machine. I bought a $15 one from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09XHBFXXH) and it immediately increased my wifi speed by a factor of 4!Overall, I couldn't be happier. It's fast, and has performed well for the 2 weeks I've had it. It met expectations on gaming, and happily far exceeded expectations on video rendering.

Title: perfect replacement
Review: Our granddaughter's previous gaming computer had failed. She used it for both gaming and school assignments.After doing a lot of on-line research, and in person shopping, I took all of my research and went shopping on Amazon .We found this computer that exceeded the performance of the failed unit and offered better specs and features than what I saw, and all, at a better price. What really excited my granddaughter, was that we would receive the computer the next day. The order was placed on a Saturday and arrived the next day.Set up and connections were easy and presented no problems. Start up was simply following instructions presented on the monitor. and no time at all she was online and showing me all the better performances from speed to image generation on the screen and the color changes within the computer. Also, the mouse and keyboard can change colors. A very, very happy granddaughter.This computer has been up and running since March 10, 2024, and no issues after 3 weeks. If anything should change, I will update this review.You can't beat this computer and its performance for the price.I give it a strong recommendation for beginner and intermediate gamers, and for all around general use.

Title: Dead after a month
Review: Worked great for about a month. Shut it down every night to save power and upon turning it on this morning, nothing. Tried repeatedly and even jumped to different outlets around the house to no avail. Proceeded to troubleshoot and the only advice they had on their guide was check the motherboard cable and switch plate cable which both were fine. So I went a step further and got a new power supply to test on it and once again nothing, so essentially it appears that the motherboard itself has fried seeing as it gives off no indication from a non contact meter but the power supply does. Now we shall see on Monday how their tech support is and how they address this issue because it's not a cheap purchase. Will update review once I have spoken with them and determine whether I am out 1700 or not.

Title: Works great, once it's set up.
Review: I'm typing this review from the PC itself, so it works. I'd even say it works pretty well once you set it up. The main issues are from setting it up, and I want to explain why.Right out of the box, attached to the glass of the case so you can read it from the outside, are directions telling you to loosen the screws to get the glass case open. Only thing is, there aren't any screws connecting to the glass case. The door to it just pops open when you pull on the side section of it. Basically the instructions were for a different case, and I spent several minutes looking for screws that didn't exist before just winging it and opening the case with my bare hands like the manufacturer intended. It's a very convenient and easy to open case, as long as you don't have instructions for a different cast entirely.I set it up, turned it on, and was greeted by a Windows 11 error message. It claimed the PC had been restarted improperly and that I would need to hit OK to restart it and try to load up Windows 11 again. I hit OK, the PC restarted, and then slapped me with the same error message. I did this 4 more times before opening my laptop and googling the issue, which turned out to require a fix in the registry editor. If anyone else runs into this problem, here is the solution: Press shift+F11 to open CMD, in there type "regedit" without the quotes, then browse to local machine > system > setup > status > Child Completion, and change the Setup exe value from 1 to 3. After that, it finally booted.Next it started installing Windows 11, which is just a terrible OS. It's not the manufacturer's fault but holy moly, after like 10 menus where Windows simps for your personal information, I finally got in and found that several of my fairly modern games simply wouldn't install. They'd get error messages during the installwizard. I troubleshooted and people were pinning it on W11. So I went into the system settings and downgraded to Windows 10, and now everything works fine.All of this is written purely to help others who might end up in my situation when they buy this thing. Once I got it set up, it ran really well. There are a lot of fans, so it can get a tiny bit... well, not noisy, but you can hear it. My old PC didn't have nearly as many fans, so perhaps I'm just not used to it. But you can hear them spin, if that bothers you. Its temps are quite cool, it runs smooth, I have 0 complaints about it now that it's set up. But coming with wrong opening instructions and a W11 setup error right out the box for a prebuilt that costs nearly 2 grand is at least worth deducting 1 star in my opinion. I will be updating this over time; if it just breaks in a year or whatever, I'll be pretty pissed since my last PC that I built from scratch lasted six and still works fine. I just wanted an upgrade.Summary: You might have issues setting it up, but once you're there it's pretty solid.
