Updated! Inexpensive system

You can control CPU RGB fan by downloading AMD CoolerMaster Waith Prism software. With it you can control the fan logo, the ring and the LEDs. Very cool! First minus: Well, after receiving the computer, I noticed that whoever assembled it had to be in a hurry. Wired controls were terrible! Wires protruding through the bottom fan. I had to take them out and refill them. There is also a bent screw on the back. If I remember correctly, it doesn't contain anything, so it doesn't matter. All of this is meant to mean that this all stays behind the scenes and doesn't spoil the appearance of the system, which is normally visible. Now for the good: I was about to build a gaming rig because mine broke. I had an old setup that I got from a friend who works for a gaming company. It was one of their test mules, so it was made for gaming. However, it's also over 5 years old and I couldn't find a new motherboard for it. So I started researching the components and the cost of assembling them and decided to purchase instead. I watched several videos and several people recommended this system. Is it the beast of the system? No, but from what I can see after comparing the parts inside to what I would have to pay I feel I got a good deal, if not a great one. I still come from 1200 to 1400 (with peripherals). I couldn't build it and get warranties cheaper. This system boots faster than my TV! I'm a big fan of Skyrim. I've logged thousands of hours (sorry I know lol), the load times between rides are a third of what they used to be. And now I'm working with true 1080p instead of 780. Conclusion: In summary, I can highly recommend this system. But why 4 instead of 5 stars when you're so happy with it, you ask? If you go to the Skytech website you won't find this system listed. The parts used are old parts, dare I say obsolete parts. You can buy a newer system for less money on their website. Had I known, I would have spent the same money but gotten an even better setup. All I can say is do your research and when you decide you've done enough, DO MORE!
