Really satisfied with this PC. Arrived super quick (before the estimated delivery date), but unfortunately the packaging was severely damaged. Highly unlikely that this was Cyberpowers fault, but I didnt want to risk opening it up and finding that the computer was bricked. Returned the computer and the replacement came the next day! I am very happy with how quickly it came seeing I was very anxious to get back to gaming. I am a long time PC gamer, but probably not the savviest when it comes to computer specifics. I understand the basics, but it has been a long time since I have had a tower computer; been gaming on a laptop for a long time since I used to travel a lot. Fortunately this was an easy to set up computer - although the Quick Start Guide was for an older model, so I was a bit confused at times. There was a huge sticker that made sure you knew to attach your monitor to the lower DVI output, but like a fool I attached my monitor to the upper VGA (because that was the type of cable my monitor had and the GPU did not have a VGA port), not realizing the monitor would then not be connected to the GPU. So, if you make the same mistake as me (despite the instructions being relatively clear) you will get an error message saying "NVIDIA Display settings are not available. You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU." I hate to admit that this was super confusing to me. I went online and updated drivers and so forth, googled the error message, spent the afternoon frustrated thinking the computer was a lemon.... but then went out and bought a DVI cable and hooked it up to the proper port and *surprise* it worked fine. Pretty surprised this wasnt a solution listed online. Maybe my mistake is so stupid, the internet thought there was no way anyone could make it? The point being that this was a user error, nothing wrong with the machine, but I wish that in the description of this PC they had mentioned that you will need either a DVI (Dual-Link), Display Port, or HDMI cable to connect your monitor (or if they did, I missed it???) My monitor doesnt have an HDMI, so DVI/Display Port was the only option to hook it up to the GPU. Another thing I saw in the comments (possibly for an older model) is that this PC doesnt have Wifi. It DOES have Wifi and comes with two antennae you screw into the adapter in the back. So you can stop worrying about that! The description and the reviews/ Q&A were very contradictory, so I dont know what that is about... once again, those reviews must be for an older/different series. Some people have commented they do A LOT at the same time with this machine, but I havent tried any of that yet. I can run my favorite games (i.e. Borderlands 2, Sims 4, Skyrim, Hellblade, Tomb Raider, TF2, etc... graphics/texture heavy games) and they all run beautifully. Doesnt seem to get that warm (at least compared to my gaming laptop!) and it is pretty quiet. The LED fans are a nice touch, but you can turn off the lights if you dont need to get your rave on. The mouse and keyboard that comes included seems a little clunky, so I havent used them. I may try them out later, but for now I am sticking to my old set up. I did a fair amount of research comparing prices and specs before deciding to get this PC. I think for what you get it is pretty a great bargain. I cant say if it would live up the expectations of some "hardcore" gamers, but it works for me and what I want to do, which is play beautiful games alone or online with friends. If and when Half-life 3 comes out... I will be ready. :P
