Great but Flawed
I want to begin by saying this is a fantastic choice for newcomers to gaming. I am definitely not one of those, but I wanted a good, reliable system to hook up to the living room TV and just play some PC games with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It does this fantastically.Now, let’s get the bad out of the way, as I usually do. I’ll throw in a few caveats, though, because most of the bad can be mitigated easily. First: This is a pretty bare-bones setup. It’s a mini ATX motherboard, which does its job well. This does, however, come with a few issues for power gamers who want to modify the thing. Two RAM slots means you’re pretty limited on what you can put in there, but you could potentially throw in as much as 32gb, which is more than enough.Next, the case: It’s pretty, no doubt. All the fancy LEDs everywhere are neat, but they are also a big disappointment in some ways. First: Aside from the front panel, the ASRock software doesn’t seem to control anything. This means you’re going to have different schemes set up for the case lighting vs. the front panel lighting. No big deal there. They just make it look cool anyway. Problem is, that’s not where the case issues end. Despite being a bit of a monster compared to my old mini-ATX cases in the past, with a super-wide profile, and being fairly deep, it has little room for expansion. There are no optical drive bays, so even if the motherboard had tons of slots, you’re really limited on what you can do with this case. I ordered a USB Blu-Ray writer to address this problem, so that’s a quick fix right there. I also have to excuse this, because we’re living in an age where physical copies of PC games are exceedingly rare, and even I almost never use my optical drives in my other desktop aside from making Blu-rays of my photos. We really do live in the digital connected age.The other disappointment here is the power supply: I’m amazed that a 500w PSU can actually run this computer, but I suppose with no physical drives, that’s not all that surprising.Now for all the good.After setting the computer up, realizing the HDMI cable I was trying to use was absolute trash, and connecting the KB+M dongles, I began installing all the things. I have a WD external hard drive that I’m storing the games on, because 500gb goes away quick, and I don’t mind a little loading slowness. What to try though? Well, my first game played on this computer was Skyrim SE. Needless to say, unmodded, the game runs perfectly on ultra settings, even at 4k. Hard to read stuff on a 55″ TV though. I’ll have to throw some ENBs and other mods to really push the RTX 2060 using Skyrim.After that, it was time to try out some newer games, and they didn’t disappoint in terms of pushing the hardware here. GTA5 would start dropping below 30fps on ultra settings at 4k. Dropping down to 1080p fixed that right up, though. Honestly, I don’t see enough difference to need it. 1080 on ultra was easily above 60fps constant.Next, of course, I needed to try something that only RTX and some of the newer GTX cards can even do: Quake II RTX. I hate to say but I was underwhelmed. At 4k, it felt like playing Quake II on my old Cyrix machine back in the 90s. The ray-tracing was neat, with real reflections from water and glass, but ultimately not worth the time. It was still fun playing Quake II in high-res on a modern system, but I really don’t feel like the ray-tracing was that big of an improvement over most games, especially newer ones.Most recent, I finally managed to get RDR2 downloaded, and by God, putting it at 1080 was still gorgeous, even with the plodding, GPU-hating intro levels. It truly shined, making the X-Box version look like an X-Box 360 in comparison. Unfortunately, the same isn’t true at 4k. Practically a slideshow at that resolution.So overall? Great gameplay for even modern games as long as you don’t try to get away with 4k. It’s not a 2080, after all. You want RDR2 in 4k on ultra? Have fun with that video card that costs as much as this entire computer, if not more. You want buttery-smooth 1080p gameplay with even the newest games on Ultra? This is your choice.I may come back and amend these after some further testing. I’ve never played Fortnite or PUBG, but this setup is commonly shown to be impressive with those games. Minecraft with RTX support is going to be pretty awesome, too!All bad and good put together, this is a great system for new PC gamers, a second gaming PC, or just for anyone who wants a big upgrade without a big headache. If you aren’t looking for something that will be relevant in a decade, pull the trigger. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to run Doom at max settings and watch my old desktop cry.

Built with care and so quiet!
Early days review, will update if anything comes up. Also, I’m a 1080 gamer, so any performance info below is based on 1080 gaming, nothing higher. I’m the weirdo who never cared about higher resolutions.TLDR; I’m very, very happy. Read on for details.I built my last gaming PC. When I realized that replacing the end-of-life parts would involve basically everything due to the age / tech gen, I decided to just buy a pre-built. 2020 has wiped out my patience for tinkering. I just wanted something usable for 1080 gaming, already put together, that I could get fairly soon. This fit the bill so I ordered it.I unboxed it (it was VERY well packaged), took the packing materials out of the case, and put it up on the dining room table to open it up and get a better look and check all of the connections. (It’s still on the table, because it came two days earlier than expected and I haven’t moved out my old computer yet.) The builders did great cable management. Such a clean setup. It’s going to cause me pain to undo those pretty bundles to power two more drives in a couple days. It’s also going to be hard for me to make it look as good as they did when I’m done. Cable management has never been my strong suit.The rear fan connector had come loose in transit, but that was a quick and easy fix.NOTE: I’ve seen many people say that this computer only has room for one additional drive (the included SSD + 1) and that is NOT TRUE. It can take a total of 4 drives. There are the two top bays which will take either 2.5 or 3.5″ drives, and there are also two hidden 2.5 drive mounting brackets hidden behind the white side panel. There are a total of 4 SATA3 connectors on the motherboard to connect the drives to. There is also an M2A socket on the motherboard but the GPU is pretty much taking over that whole area, so that won’t be of much use.The case is an InWin 101C, if you want to look for more details on that.Now, these pre-built computers have quite a bit of variance in the brands of products used so what I got might not be what you get, but my parts were branded as follows:MOBO: Gigabyte B450m DS3H-cf (v2 – which is important when looking up the manual)RAM: Teamgroup T-Force Vulcan ZGPU: ZotacSSD: PNYI saw in some reviews that some people didn’t get the wifi antennas or that the card might not have been installed in theirs. I’m happy to report that mine was fine, and the two antennas screwed right on as expected.So, after the pre-flight checklist was complete, I connected to a monitor and power and started it up. It started up FAST. At first I had no audio (it only detected digital) but I let Windows Update do its thing and it installed the correct drivers, and I had audio top and back on reboot. Everything seems to be working perfectly, and I actually enjoyed the included keyboard and mouse they included. (I’m picky about mice but I liked it.) Not sure how I feel about all the RGB stuff but it can be turned off so that’s an option.Oh, go into BIOS, turn on XMP. You’re welcome.Let’s just skip to the performance, shall we? No Man’s Sky, full Ultra settings, at a solid 60fps. (Yes, this is post-Next Generation update.) And that’s really all I wanted. Even better? It barely broke a sweat temps-wise (both CPU and GPU). It runs so cool, and the fans are so quiet that the only reason I knew they ramped up their speed was because I was sitting next to it and felt it blowing on me. (The rear fan and two side fans all exhaust, air intake is from the bottom of the case, which has a removable filter underneath. You can optionally mount three additional fans in the bottom which would allow a negative pressure setup.)So there you have it. Yes, there’s a premium for not wanting to put one together myself, but it was worth it. I’ll let you know if any problems arise.

Shipping was fast, so far the computer looks fine , right of the boxes it was well wrapped so i was happy to see nothing broken during the shipping. after completing the setup with windows 10 the pc was ready to work so i started installing games and try them out, so far I can run mostly everything at high graphic and over 120 fps so the frames looks good . ssd works fine everything is smooth for now and pretty fast it take approximatively 10 sec to open the computer. So My only negative point is the noise of the fans , its almost like having a vacuum to youre side everything else is perfect.

This product was surprisingly good, I like it a lot, with it’s sleek design, insanely cool rgb, as well as great parts in the pc! The RTX 2060 is also a big plus and it’s a great price for what it’s worth. Would definitely recommend.
