Endless reloads.

I bought it for my son. He wanted to get into computer games for about a year. We looked around and read the reviews. This one was recommended in a few articles and after reading reviews. we ordered it. He was so excited when we told him. He came earlier than expected. So my husband opened it up and installed it. The computer said it needed to be updated. From there it just crashed. and fell and fell. Endless cycle of crash and reboot. We went through every conceivable option. Absolutely…

  • Connectivity: 4 x USB 3.0 | 2 USB 2.0 ports | 1x RJ-45 Ethernet network 10/100/1000 | Audio: 7.1 channel

Fits computers and accessories on arrival

The computer looks great, everything is fine inside, everything is set up and then it just comes into the BIOS. I check the storage information in the BIOS and nothing shows up, so I open the case and see that the SATA cable is disconnected from the SSD. No problem. Let's put it back. Wait, the plastic from the SSD connector broke off the SATA cable. That's why it didn't work. That's how it came out of the box. Now I'm stuck with support and will probably have to send my computer in and end up…

  • System: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz (Max 4.2GHz Turbo) | 8GB DDR4 RAM | 240GB Solid State Drive | Genuine Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Cons
  • Repair

Great inexpensive PC with a future!

I've been building my own systems for decades and when my old Athlon II system finally ran out of steam I decided to build a new Ryzen 5 3600. I have this one and preselected configured system found. This system has proven itself extremely well. Everything worked fine upon arrival and I was able to easily add my old hard drives to transfer my media. Performance on this system was great, but I don't run games at high framerates. But I'm sure if I need more horsepower in the future I can get it…

Pros
  • Video Card: NVIDIA GT 730 2GB | Display Connections - VGA, DVI-I and HDMI
Cons
  • Almost everything included
