Great mid-range gaming PC!

So this was my first gaming PC purchase and after some searching I came across this PC. I was a bit skeptical about a brand I had never heard of before. But once I received and set up the system I was completely satisfied with this system. What components are installed and the price of RYZEN 5-2600, NVIDIA GTX-1660 6GB graphics card, 550W PSU, case, fan, copy of Windows 10 and ASROCK A320M-HDV chipset, I think you can't build it cheaper even money. Especially now that the prices of all PC components are increasing and there are not enough stocks for many things. My only advice would be to order another stick with 8GB of RAM as AMD processors like to work with dual channel memory. I ordered 2x8GB sticks of OLOy DDR4 RAM (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083NPX9TJ/) just to find out what they installed when building the system and I was able to buy just one stick ( this may vary depending on what operating system you have when your system is built). But at least I have an extra stick in case one of them fails, and I'll probably buy better sticks in the future. It comes with a standard 500GB SSD (I haven't disassembled the case to find the brand yet), but the motherboard supports an M.2 NVME SATA III SSD slot. As far as gaming goes, I played it in COD Warzone. . I get about 80 fps at 1080p with all settings set to high/ultra. He played Warzone in 4K resolution on low to medium settings at around 50-60 fps. The GPU temperature never exceeded 70C when playing Warzone, no matter how long I played and on what settings, and it usually fluctuates between 60-65C. There is a lot of airflow through the system. Haven't played any other games yet as I'm going to Warzone at the moment as I'm sure it will suit a lot of people. My only complaint would be having to install the GeForce Experience app and the NVIDIA Control Panel app myself. Now I know most people who buy this won't have a problem with it, but not everyone will know about it. I also updated the BIOS, but most people don't need to worry about that. Otherwise I have no real problems. The included keyboard and mouse aren't the best, but I've used worse and they get the job done. The keyboard looks like a regular mechanical gaming keyboard and optical mouse with the SKYTECH logo. In addition, the fans are not very quiet, but they are not annoyingly loud either, and there is no "fault" with them. I definitely heard louder than regular desktops and laptops. You can go into the BIOS and turn them off, but when you're gaming you need to enable them to prevent your GPU and CPU/motherboard from overheating and slowing down mid-game. Overall I think this is a great system for the money. Like everything happening in the tech scene, the latest and greatest is just around the corner. But this system should be powerful enough to run most games for several years. At least until RTX gets more support from game developers.
