Edit: July 2022. From the entire computer, I had to replace almost everything, including CMOS battery. The only part that I have not replaced since purchasing this PC is... the case. Which was damaged anyways when I sent the computer to them for repair. The power supply died yesterday, which was the last hardware piece from the original build. DO NOT buy this.Original post:Don't buy this.I was really excited about getting a great pre built PC. It worked well for a couple of months but then it started overheating and restarting all the time for no reason. I contacted support but they told me the repair time would be 5-6 weeks but when I received instructions/shipping label (which also takes up to 4 days) it said that it takes additional 8-16 days on top of that due to delayes. That's around 9 weeks without a PC. I decided to troubleshoot it myself and they agreed to help me with that, which I appreciated. It came down to extreme overheating even when idle. They sent me a new CPU cooler. Although they did not send me cleaners to remove the old thermal paste. I bought it myself. When swapping the coolers I was welcomed by melted silicone all over it... I told them what I found but they tried to tell me this is normal and the silicone is easy to remove. No it wasn't. It also completely melted into the cooler (causing overheating) and onto the brackets that hold the cooler nearly spilling on the motherboard. I had to replace the brackets as it was impossible to remove the silicone from it and I did not want any more melting silicone in my PC. The company claimed that the silicone protected the cooler during shipping but there was no note about it in instructions and also, if I were to remove the fan to take off the silicone UNDERNEATH IT, I'd have to assemble it back, which means cleaning the old thermal paste from the cooler and the CPU and applying new one... which is not something that is expected of a buyer of a pre built PC. The pre built computer is supposed to be fully assembled and should not require someone to break it apart and assemble again.Once that was done, I ran a system restore and the pc turned on. But not for long. It started resetting again over and over again without a warning after just a few hrs of running. I contacted support again and they told me to check the power and reset buttons. They were fine. After hours of trying to get the PC to run, it completely crapped out. It kept restarting over and over again even before the log in screen and restore, reset and any other recovery functions no longer worked. Then it started giving me the blue screens (attached). The ssd drive is completely corrupted and windows recovery is gone.I asked for replacements or a refund of the computer but was denied as they only cover it for 30 days or so.The PC was poorly assembled and built. This should not be happening to a brand new computer just a few months after purchase. There should not be any silicone around the CPU cooler.This is not worth the headache. Buy something else.I am going to keep demanding a refund or a full replacement asap.

i am in absolute disbelief that i bought a 1,400 dollar pc just to get a pillow instead. I don’t even know what to say.

Had the PC for a little over a week so far, waiting to write a review until after any random failures other reviewers experienced shortly after getting it running, but smooth sailing so far.The set up, both hardware and software, was quick and easy and while the shipping box was a little banged up I was very impressed with how well the packing kept it safe. I'm not exactly a computer expert but I've fooled around enough with the insides of a PC to know that everything was where it should be under the hood.As far as performance goes I paid over $2k for this PC and it runs as well as you expect. I've yet to boot up a game that it doesn't run at over 100 fps on max graphic settings. The real test for me was hopping in a hunt train in FF14 and seeing the PC just not care that it was rendering over 100 players unload all their flashy attacks on poor critters. However the fans did have to crank it up a notch to the point where I could barely hear them with my headphones on, that's literally the only "complaint" I have.TLDR - Arrived well protected and put together, set up was a breeze, it plays games like a champ, but the fans get noticed when big boy power is required. 10/10 would buy again.

I just received the variant that has the Ryzen 5 3500 and RTX 2060. Will try to remember to update this review if anything comes up. If not updated, assume this machine is chugging along!Also make *absolutely certain* you pay attention to what you're buying. For example: under the same listing as this machine you can grab a variant with a 3060ti and nvme ssd. It'll actually say it in the product details. If the variant you're buying doesn't specify this, assume you're getting a SATA SSD.PROS:+ Case is great. No more unscrewing just to dust. It's a hinge, so gently unlock and open.+ Pretty good brand components. I knew I was getting a SATA SSD with this variant, and got a Western Digital Blue.+ No bloatware save for one thing+A RTX 2060 is more than enough to get you through most of today's games. Nvidia is even considering mass producing this particular card again to help folks get ray tracing. So if you can get this build around $1000-$1200, you're not going to beat that with the current GPU shortage.+ Comes with a folder that has contact information, a quick start guide, and a troubleshooting guide. As well as maintenance tips for those unfamiliar with keeping up a desktop. So nice for first timers!+ There was some packing inside the case itself to keep everything from jostling which is a good thing.+ Very quiet. Then again I only played an MMO while testing, but it was practically silent on my end. Maybe if you play Cyberpunk or something it'll be a bit louder.+ I actually like the keyboard it came with. I won't personally use the RGB, but the keys are snappy enough.CONS:- The amazon delivery packaging was *awful.* I can see why there's some reviews complaining about the tempered glass door being broken. My PC was put in a box nearly double the length of the PC's product box, without much beyond a sheet of really thin paper tucked in there. It absolutely shifted around (so thank heavens there was packing inside the product box).- The one thing that seems to be bloatware is the program installed to control the RGB lights. It just flat out doesn't work (that I can find). You change the lights through a button on top of the case, so it's useless and a pretty safe uninstall.- No DVI input for older monitors. I was lucky and had a spare HDMI chord on hand, but do keep in mind what your monitor needs before you commit to this.- When I bought this it was brought down to $1300 from nearly $1800. The GPU shortage is nuts, and this prebuilt has been delightful my first night working with it. But it absolutely is *not* an $1800 PC. If it's closer to $1000-$1200 consider getting it. I went in because of the sale and my old rig was having multiple hardware failures (thus, bit of an emergency).

I've had the computer for about a month in a half, and so far everything is working great, but I'm going to have to knock a point off for an inconvenience that came with the purchase. When everything was set up and I powered on the computer, there was nothing appearing on the monitor. After several minutes of checking the monitor's settings and making sure everything was plugged in correctly, I realized the graphics card was completely removed from its slot.This could have possibly happened during shipment, but I highly doubt this, because the way the graphics card was screwed onto computer's tower, you'd have to do some heavy, risky bending to get the graphics card even partially inserted into its slot, so I don't think the graphics card was ever properly put in place prior to the computer being shipped out. So I spent about an hour unscrewing the graphics card and carefully adjusting it until I was sure the graphics card was safely and properly inserted, while at the same time having it properly screwed onto the tower, which can be a puzzle. I'm not very knowledgeable about putting together PCs, but I have installed a graphics card into a computer in the past, so at least that experience helped. But for someone who has never dealt with this sort of stuff, and just wanted a gaming PC ready to go, this would be an even bigger issue. They'd have to risk addressing this themselves and potentially damage the parts, or have to return the computer to fix it, which is just extremely inconvenient and impractical. I know it was just an unplugged graphics card, but it kind of defeats the purpose of buying a prebuilt gaming PC!In conclusion, the item product itself is just fine so far, but it was not put together very carefully.
