I shouldn't call it tiny, despite still containing such near-godlike computational ability within its mere metallic confines. I won't lie; the bright, shiny red case dominates any view of my game room. I need to buy a new desk to accommodate its girth. At the moment it's hanging about four inches over the front of this desk, making it easily and by far the largest computer anyone in my family has owned in the last twenty years.I'm actually quite proud of this guy. Its monolithic stature and commanding red color seem a little needless, but to my knowledge there are just no games out (or coming out) that will trouble this fellow. Need a quarter for the bus? Better not ask this guy, he looks -mean-. That said, the stats of this particular machine should speak for itself. Third generation Core i7? XFX Radeon HD 7770 1GB? 8GB DDR3-1333? Sign me up, please. The price that I paid made me jump at the chance to bring this gentleman home and introduce him to the family. Meet the parents. Fall in love. Play XCOM and Black Ops 2 together night after sleepless night. Get drunk and have a fist fight at 4 AM, because he found out from my HDTV that I still have feelings for my old computer. He didn't mean to beat me up, he just doesn't know his own strength...you don't know him like I do!All joking aside, this computer is a solid gaming setup that will work for you right out of the box. No need for upgrades; the graphics card cooks playing any game I currently own and the box has ample data storage and physical memory. Still comes with an optical drive in case you're an old man like me and still have games on discs that you might still play. Maybe.Any cons at all? Comes with Windows 8. I can't say enough bad things about the Metro interface. If I feel like I am done saying enough bad things about the Metro interface and any and all of the "Apps" I have tried out (Admittedly, not many. It feels like trading a multitasking Windows XP interface for unitasking MSDOS program with the keyboard unplugged.), I will stop and think of something new to complain about, because that's how abysmally and incredibly bad it is. Microsoft tasked itself with reinventing the wheel and it did so by replacing each of the four individual wheels on its operating system with a unique, obtuse, and asinine shape that does not promote rolling. Maybe sliding, since that's the only way to interact with some of these incredibly poorly designed "Apps". Luckily, the majority of your interactions will not involve the Metro interface, but it's still just there, like a piece of cardboard stapled over the hole where Microsoft gouged out the "Start" button, but couldn't for the life of them think of anything else to put in there.It also ships with a keyboard that I wanted to use, but had to pack back up in the box because it has a backslash key that was positioned by a pure contrarian with little regard to their fellow human beings who might actually use said backslash key in the course of normal typing. It ships with a wired mouse too, it's a bit chintzy but does the job. Good thing I already had one (who doesn't) and wasn't even considering that one would come with the machine. Last tiny gripe, the top panel of the otherwise magnificent case is a snap-on plastic piece, and it can hardly be described as "secured" in any fashion to the rest of that said case when any force is applied to it.In summary, I am happy with my purchase and find it difficult not to recommend it to others in the most explicit of terms.

When I ordered this I was worried about several things.For the first thing, it has Windows 8. I was against this until now since I've been using it. You don't even have to look at the start screen if you don't want to. I've had this for about two days, and used the Start screen maybe twice. I keep it on desktop mode like I would normally use Windows 7 or XP. I never realized how much I DIDN'T use the start menu, but that's me. You'll hear people complain about Windows 8, but it's actually very easy to use, especially when it comes to drivers.The second was the graphics card. As I was waiting for this PC to arrive I was worried about the true performance of this card. So, I did some research. The graphics card was on the list of Ultra High/High settings group in the Skyrim Requirements wiki. But I soon found out that this is not the only game it runs at full quality. And, boy, it is fast! It's a XFX brand.The processor is an Ivy Bridge i7 quad-core. Definitely wasn't worried about this part! Runs as smooth as silk.One thing though, which isn't a big deal for ME, the motherboard only has ONE PCIe 3.0 X16 slot, and the graphics card is taking that up. There isn't any other PCI slots. It is a very small motherboard. Otherwise, it's a decent one, if you don't plan on adding extra PCI cards. Here's more info on that: [...]This doesn't have WiFi, but it does have a Ethernet Port in the motherboard. But, I plugged my WiFi USB Adapter into one of the USB 3.0 slots in the front, and it installed automatically and flawlessly. I didn't even have to hunt down the driver. This is one tedious thing I had to do in Windows 7, and XP for my specific adapter.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase! I've been playing Skyrim non-stop on Ultra settings with absolutely no trouble at all! Definitely recommended for people who need an affordable gaming PC that works awesomely.Also, there have been no problems at all with heat, this thing stays as cool as a cucumber!

This is a great computer for gaming & any other use. I personally only use it to browse the internet & render a couple videos for youtube if your into that a 720p video that last 15 minutes renders in around 10. The only reason i wouldn't recomend it would be one, if you don't have the budget, and two, if you do not know a lot about electronics because for me it only took about 15 minutes to set up & instal everything that is required. But like i said if you don't know the basics its going to take you 5 hours (just like the guy with the worst rating)To shorten things up, this computer is AMAZING!
