Good deal for the price. Even better, I put it up for sale in April with no financing. Runs quietly, even too quietly. I've never done any checks (editing a stock Intel cooler is sub-optimal), but you hardly know it's there when you're running a game like Cyberpunk, which I thought would explode. I wonder if he's quietly seething and begging for mercy. problems. This is a great computer if you have a hobby. With this tower it becomes a hobby. Keep in mind that this is a great entry-level computer at a decent entry-level price, but you'll need upgrades. While it can compete with next-gen consoles, it struggles with that (editing more RAM helped). The 500GB SSD is fast, but you'll need to expand it at some point (change the bottom end marking as the skid plate above the m.2 is missing). The i5 it has plays most games. I said I'm playing Cyberpunk but it's running on 100% GPU and 90-100% CPU. I'm uncomfortable with the GPU having to offload the CPU, and this game maximizes both (changing more RAM has dropped the CPU usage to 60% on this demanding game). The graphics card is at its best if you keep the graphics at an average level. While it looks good, you may experience screen tearing and frame rate fluctuations (edit more RAM again). I can live with that because it costs half a PC to upgrade. The i5 is good for gaming but shouldn't be forced into anything else. Recommend a stronger cooler. It works but update it again. This computer is best if you want it now and want to develop it later. The graphics card is a significant part of the cost, and if you do better, you'll find tech scalpers at an outrageous cost in 2020/2021. This system does not support ray tracing. If you want to be at the front of the line I suggest building one from scratch because expensive expensive ones are just too expensive. Do a LOT of research on how to start this journey. Verdict: It's more than a Roids office computer to rival next-gen consoles (no ray-traced editing, so maybe not?), but you don't get E3 title Premiere-style performance. If you are not computer savvy and want to learn, this is definitely a good place to start. Edit: After upgrading the RAM, I found out that Intel has locked all 10th gen non-Z series CPUs with a memory speed of 2666, which is ridiculous, and the mobo is also missing parts. They may have been removed during installation but are still not there. And the case maker's proprietary RBG remote is also ridiculous and bypassed as it has no sync whatsoever. After learning what parts are used, I don't think about that anymore. Given that Microsoft's key will push the build from scratch at this price point, I can live with that. For an Aries. The brand they use was xpc 8gb and I'm wondering if it was part of the 2x8gb set and they split them up. When upgrading to 2x8 GB, it is recommended to get them at the same time, otherwise problems may arise. That means you can't use your stock update in this build nor spend money on frequencies above 2666MHz because Intel has blocked it.
