Great purchase and looks easy to update, highly recommend

(updated 9 months later in review and stated) - before I say anything, I do care about a dose of that WiFi support, and yes it is a dose. It includes a state-of-the-art antenna that you plug into your motherboard so you don't have to keep it near your router. I'll start off by saying it's not scary at all, with a 30-day return policy and great customer support there's no risk at all, and I think it's a great option for PC beginners and gamers looking to upgrade an old rig. with enough power to run modern games at Ultra 1080p 60 fps or higher. Personally I haven't used VR on it but based on how it handles standard mouse and keyboard gaming. I can max the settings in Fortnite on any device at 100-120 fps, which is probably more than your monitor's refresh rate can handle. I'm running the BO3 at max settings of 60+ fps (can probably handle a lot more, just haven't tried it), although I haven't really investigated the performance of the following games I've played on it: Rainbow Six Siege, Minecraft, and CSGO. They run as expected, very fluidly, with no noticeable drop in performance. As far as setup goes, it's as simple as connecting the display cable to your graphics card and monitor, plugging it in and boom, Windows 10 welcomes you and you're ready to play. The keyboard that came with it has nice RGB lighting (as you can see in the picture in this review) and the mouse honestly haven't used it at all and can't recommend it because I just hate wired mice so I bought my own and she arrived. simultaneously. for upgrades i haven't bothered much myself but there is potential and i'm waiting for this ssd in the second photo to go on sale assuming it would be a regular black metal wall but you can remove it with rotating contacts on the back (if you can twist them because they are too tight you can also use a screwdriver) you also need a SATA data cable to connect to the mainboard on the other side of the case. Glass window and if you don't want to swap out all the cables, get a SATA power extension cable as the second cable is in a weird place. It should be noted that there is no second compartment for an additional SSD, but it is fully digital - with no moving parts so the only issue would be heat, but they don't really generate that much. Memory wise I would really only recommend upgrading unless your really hard core needs to be easy to install because there's a second slot for it. When I opened the BIOS, my RAM was actually selected as DDR4 2600MHz, but the Amazon listing said it was DDR4 3000MHz. I'm not sure if that matters, but I just put it there just in case you want to upgrade the RAM. I would check the BIOS myself (do this by typing the "del" key when you restart the computer). In summary, this is the best PC price I could find and I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a gaming PC or anyone trying to find an affordable PC as a gift that will easily handle the latest games can. Update after about 9 months. Update this review now, especially as a savvy PC user compared to these. I bought this computer for $660. Since then it's gone up in price (as I expected, the price was insanely good back then), maybe that price will go down again sometime, I can't tell you. But I'll focus on a few things that have been prevalent since I wrote this review. Unfortunately there is a small CPU bottleneck when playing high impact games like Modern Warfare, Minecraft Shaders, ext. I've had a few crashing issues but nothing major to be honest, I usually do something stupid that causes the crash. Since then I've increased my memory (and here comes my main problem besides the price increase) Memory expansion sucks, there's no other way to put it. If you don't install an SSD, installing another HDD (or 2 in my case) is nonsense. Easy and uncomplicated. Memory upgrades are mandatory, since only about 375 gigabytes are available from the factory. I salvaged an old 600GB hard drive from what appeared to be an old computer in my basement and set it up. The problem is that there is no space for the HDD, so I installed it on a small spot where the SSD is, in front of the front fans, everything went well and it was manageable. But I just needed more space. I got a Seagate 8TB hard drive. Installed it on another hard drive, this time it didn't work very well and had to put it in awkwardly. The build works fine but looks really ugly now. So if you're planning on putting in more than one drive I'd definitely reconsider, but it shouldn't be a big deal for most people and it's my fault for wanting close to 10TB of storage. In summary, it's still a good buy for those looking for a beginner gaming PC, and a good buy for those who are tired of paying for PS Plus or Xbox Live and are upgrading their build with more multitasking capabilities want. I don't know if it's mentioned elsewhere, but I also added another stick of DDR4 2600 RAM and it works great.
