Review on πŸ’» CUK Stratos Micro Gaming Desktop PC (AMD Ryzen 7, Radeon Graphics, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, 500W PSU, AC WiFi, Windows 10 Home) by Eddie Rivas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pretty good PC but a bit overpriced for what you get.

I bought this PC because my old one died and I wanted something serious that could handle games like World of Warcraft, Elite Dangerous, Civilization 5 and Fallout 4 at full graphic settings. I bought this one and it arrived pretty quickly so that's definitely a plus. I was a bit disappointed when I saw that it didn't have a graphics card and worried that it would be unusable. Luckily, many games still run great with integrated graphics, and you can still get around 40-60 fps. If you're a casual gamer and don't care about the graphics, this is probably fine. However, you probably can't use any of the advanced anti-aliasing or high texture settings. If you're used to better performance, the integrated graphics just don't cut it. You'll have to shell out a few hundred dollars more for a graphics card (the GTX 1650 is awesome). Aside from the card issue, actual PC performance is quite high. An SSD makes playing games and loading other data almost instantaneous for the most part. Are the case design and fan colors cool? Yes of course. But let's be realistic - sometimes you look around and the case flashes red and you panic for a moment and think something's wrong before another color combination kicks in. Slightly annoying, but that's just me. Overall, this is a good PC and certainly a powerful computer at a reasonable price, but if you have the ability to build it yourself you'll probably save $300-$400 or more by researching the individual parts and building it yourself.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
