In the end I continued there for a while TL;DR: Everything works fine, good computer for those who just want to play. I spent about $300 for additional RAM, storage, and a better Wi-Fi adapter, so be prepared. Also, I didn't connect the RGB cable for the liquid cooler, which sucks as I have no idea how or where to connect it :/. It's a bit noisy since the fans are always running pretty hard, but you can fix it in the bios or just buy better fans for $80 from Best Buy. The design of the case is elegant, it's a very nice computer. I'm rewriting this review after using a computer for a while. First I gave it a 3, now I'm going to raise it to a 4. It works great and can run games perfectly without overheating in the slightest. I wouldn't call it an enthusiast computer, but if you're just looking for a relatively cheap way to get the latest GPU generation, this is fine. The processor isn't the newest on the market, but it's still more than capable of running any game at over 100 fps on maxed graphics. I have 1080p so I can't vouch for 1440p. I will say that the fans are a little noisy, not under load or anything else, just constant, the volume under load doesn't change much. I don't know why the fans run so fast 24/7 but they are there. I'm sure you could change and fix some things in the bios but I'm too lazy and to be honest the noise isn't that bad, I have a computer on the desk next to me and it's no louder than one fan to another side of the room. If you leave it on the floor or whatever the noise isn't a problem and I'm sure you can change something in the bios. Now about why I give it a 4 and not a 5. liquid cooler. This thing is great for cooling the CPU, don't get me wrong, but the RGB on it is glued to red from the factory and is completely untouched. I haven't really fixed it yet, but I'm pretty sure I know why it's happening, when I open the cable management, it seems to me that the cable isn't connected to the RGB controller or the motherboard, that cable comes straight from the cooler so I'm assuming it's an RGB cable. I have no idea where to connect it and I'm not sure if you can connect it. But I don't mind, it just seems to me that they hired someone who wasn't fully trained to build a computer. On the other hand, 500 GB of memory is not enough, luckily the mainboard has a second m.2 slot, so I already installed another TB. 16GB of RAM is enough for most things, but if you plan on doing stupid stuff with MC mods like I did, you can go to 32GB (like I did) and so will all future games back up that could use up RAM. The board doesn't come with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but there was a Wi-Fi adapter in the box (pretty crappy, but gets the job done). I would recommend buying your own Bluetooth and Wi-Fi adapter if you need speeds over 50Mbps. This thing also doesn't have a Windows 10 key, which annoys me more than anything. It's in the description but he's just annoyed that they didn't bother to add a key which would only cost them around $30 but for us consumers we have to pay $130. And finally my conclusion. I ended up spending about $300 to add more RAM, another SSD, and a better Wi-Fi adapter, so be prepared.
