Avatar Gaming FX8366ice No Screen Desktop PC AMD FX-Series FX-8350(4.0GHz) 16GB DDR3 2TB HDD+128GB SSD HDD Capacity NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB Windows 8 64-Bit

Pros: Gaming has been excellent so far. Saints Row the 3 is running on ultra using a LG led 32 TV as a monitor. Bought this open box for $999. It was a steal and a risk but this risk turned out really good because I have been running this pc for 3 days straight pushing it's limits with no problems. You will not find a better priced PC anywhere else online.

Cons: Mouse and Keyboard are straight to garbage items. In fact I set the keyboard in a chair while I was sitting on the floor and I went to get up putting my hand on the keyboard and chair and broke the keyboard in half! Mind you I am only 168 pound man.

Other Thoughts: Windows 8 isn't that bad once you get around the garbage. It is on the smaller solid state drive. Remember if you are a gamer to put the files on the 2tb drive because the solid state drive fills up quickly. Also It may be me but lights on the pc are annoying. Yeah they looked cool in 2003 but I would rather it not have any lights on it at all. It is a simple fix to get rid of them. Also don't forget to register Windows 8 by phone. It is simple and fast and once you are done you can forget about it.

Pros: Great performance very quiet , future proof, just a beast, love it!!

Cons: only one 16x pci slot, other than that nothing

Pros: ***UPDATE*** I was able to solve the problem. With the mobo that's included on stock settings, you will get errors on prime95 stress testing. All you need to do is switch the voltage control to manual and bump the voltage up by 1 step... I don't know why it isn't stable on stock voltage but bumping it up by 1 step will not hurt anything and I'm running at 58C on maximum load running prime95 for 3+ hours and no errors... Satisfied! Also Make sure you switch IDE mode to SATA on your bios so you can get maximum performance out of your SSD that this 3gbps board will let you. I would recommend upgrading your board with 6gbs sata connectors otherwise you will lose a a little performance from your ssd. Everything is All good! Thanks Newegg I'm still disappointed about the value ram though lol. PSU is IN WIN with 5 star reviews from doing a little more research This is a good system but could be better with a 6gbs sata board. Very Happy now.

Cons: .

Pros: Looks Nice, MSI 660 TI GPU Stays fairly cool on stock settings under full load.

Cons: I opened the case to see what this baby had to offer and I was disappointed that I spent $1,300 that shipped with G.Skill Value Ram. The Cooler and PSU are also a different brand than what is shown in the picture... Prime95 errors after about 20mins with it all on stock settings probably due to cheap ram or the PSU which brand name I have never heard of before) I spoke too soon on my first review probably because I was excited and had only owned it for a couple days and hadn't tested it with prime95 or cracked the case. I feel ripped off with the amount of money I spent for this system and received some low quality parts... The Mobo is also a budget model.

1.Budget Ram
2.Budget Motherboard
3. Cheap PSU
4.Cheap Ram
5.Errors in Prime95 at stock settings leaves little room for stability when Overclocking.
6. Windows 8

Other Thoughts: I like shopping here and usually I am satisfied I should have bought all the parts separate and made my own custom build. I didn't expect a PC that I spent almost 1.5k on to come with low quality parts The only thing worth noting here is the SSD, The Geforce 660Ti and the 2TB HDD best parts in the whole system...

Pros: Looks great. Runs fast. Great value. All the specifications match up with what you see on the page, and, the computer shipment came with additional SATA cables, power cables, the documentation for all cards installed, the windows 8 recovery disk, and the side of the computer does indeed have a very easy to read Windows 8 serial number (authentic, official, etc.). For those curious, it is a bare bone OEM Windows 8 install, with nothing else installed. You even go through the setup the first time you turn it on.

Cons: Not everything is as pictured - my rig came with RAM that while it met the specifications outlined, didn't match the picture. The picture shows RAM sticks with Heat Sinks, and mine came with no such cooling device. The memory was also in ports 3 and 4, rather than 1/3 as is typical.

Additionally, the support arm for the video card was missing a screw. Not terribly concerning, but it is worth pointing out.

Keyboard and mouse is awful. Not a true con, because who sticks with stock keyboard and mouse when purchasing a computer for gaming? :)

Other Thoughts: If you up the RAM to 32, and eventually add other features to the box (like a sound card, upgrade your video card eventually, etc), you may want to consider upping the power supply.

The onboard audio does not support surround sound, so consider that if purchasing speakers at the same time.

Pros: Graphics, Processor, Liquid Cooling, overall appearance

Cons: Sound card

Other Thoughts: Orignally i was gonna go with the pitbull version of this build but when i went to buy it, it was out of stock. This model has basically the same stuff minus the sound card, crossfire/sli capabilities, and other expansion capabilities, but its also 400 less so cant complain on my impatience for the price you can't beat it.

Pros: Plenty of room/Well laid out.
Zero issues out of the box.
More speed than I expected (and I was expecting a lot)

Cons: G.Skill ram was supplied with no sexy heat sinks like in the pic. I ordered 2 more sticks of ram with red sinks and now it just looks odd (not that anyone is looking in my case).
LOUD - had read reviews that it is quiet - getting a whole lot of fan noise.

Other Thoughts: Not a gamer but needed something with plenty of power for photo editing. Last PC was a 6 processor AMD but this computer is night and day over the old. Some functions in Lightroom 4 and other image editing software would take an unreasonable amount of time (10 - 40 seconds) to process - this unit makes them instant.
I added another 16gb or ram before first boot.
Wish the SSD was a little larger but the Samsung unit supplied works well.

Pros: Everything worked out of the box.
Machine runs great, runs every game that I throw at it. Packing was great. Everyone is complaining about windows 8. Why complain about something that you have a choice on? Don't want windows 8? Buy a machine that does not have windows 8 or deal with it.

Cons: None

Pros: Fast. Can handle anything I throw at it. The packaging is great! Tons of padding, the system didn't have a scratch on it!

Cons: When I first received it I opened the case to checked the connections, everything looked and felt good so I powered it up. Everything was going good at first until it suddenly powered down, I tried powering it back on but it would only run for about 10 seconds and then power it back down, I took the cover back off and looked at all the connections again, I was relieved when I noticed the cooling systems power plug wasn't properly plugged with the 3 pin connector, it was off a pin and the cooling system wasn't getting power. I plugged it in properly and the blue led came on on the cooling system. Everything has been working as it should ever since. I'm just glad it was an assembly error that was easily fixable and not an RMA. I docked 1 Egg due to the assembly error the could have ended in disaster.

Other Thoughts: Great product.

Pros: 1. Unit arrived 3 business days from purchase.
2. Packing was impeccable. Unpacking this I had no fears, at all, regarding any physical damage.
3. Opened the case immediately and checked all connections. Connections were tight and all cabling well secured.
4. Windows 8 product key prominently displayed on side of case. Took approximately 4 minutes for initial boot up. One thing I really liked was the computer had never been turned on before so everything was just like building it myself.
5. Windows verification was quick without any issues at all. Only drawback is it does run Windows 8 out of the box.
6. Overall it runs very quiet. There are a total of 4 fans, one high rear, one low front, and two on the power supply. Disk drive is also very quiet.
7. Performance has been very good. Running Eve Online with maxed settings on one client averages 60 fps without any settings changes. Three clients still maintains 30+ fps while running maxed settings. With tweaking I was able to max one client at more than 200fps. Crysis runs at 30 fps with maxed settings and lag.

Cons: Windows 8 but recovery disk is included

Other Thoughts: Overall I was very impressed with this rig. I was in the market to build one from ground up but ran across this. I have to say I am very pleased with this purchase. I would recommend opening the case and checking all the connections before firing it up for the first time, but I recommend that for any prebuilt computer. Expansion will be extremely easy, plenty of room within the case, and will be upgrading to 32gb of RAM shortly.

Omitted info from the specs:
Dimensions: 17" x 7.5" x 19.5"
Cooling: Liquid cool supported by 12cm fans front and rear with placement/power available for 4 additional fans each 12cm
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-SUB3
PCI-E / PCI / AGP slots x7
RAM: Forgot to write down specs, will do so when I crack the case next.

One additional note: Before anyone posts a complaint, this is a gaming rig and it's assumed that you have or will order a similar keyboard and mouse. The included keyboard and minimouse are the most basic you can get, don't expect to be doing anything but typing on them.
