Pros: Running everything just fine, just built a new computer and ordered it all together, probably only needed a 600W or so but this was 60 bucks no way I was passing it up!

Cons: None

Amazing Computer, broken keyboard

Pros: - As someone else said, it comes with Windows 10 installed on the SSD already. - It's very nice and fast, runs anything I need it to normally and with the Oculus Rift. - Super quiet, at least out of the box, I'm sure gathering of dust will make it louder soon.

Cons: - Keyboard that it came with was half broken, unfortunately. I liked the keyboard and mouse it came with but for some reason, very random keys were broken on the keyboard. Space and Enter were also broken, but some things like Left Shift, Tab and a few of the normal letters worked. Not sure what happened here but I didn't bother trying to return it because I don't want to return the entire computer or even the mouse that came with it. - I didn't expect the computer to be so small, I probably could have noticed beforehand but the motherboard is a mini/micro ATX, and has NO room for expansion. So if I ever want to upgrade I pretty much need a new motherboard. Motherboard only has 4 USB slots but the box at least has 3 more on the top so that's ok.

Overall Review: - I recommend this computer for the performance, but just know that you are limited to 7 usb ports, Vid Card has only 1 DP, 1 HDMI, 2 DVI ports, and the mobo only has 1 DVI, 1 VGA port. Oculus rift/touch combo requires 1 HDMI port and 3 USB ports alone. Mouse and Keyboard take 2 more, so that leaves you with 2 to do with other stuff what you might need. I'm getting a USB hub though, to solve this issue.

I like it.

Pros: Huge, sale price. Very nice upgrade from my 17" lcd normal size monitor.

Cons: As everyone else says, it has very limited viewing angle but its very doable and encourages me to have good posture because I have to sit back in my chair to see it properly at the best tilt I found. The LED is soooooooooo bright in darkness on the screen, making me blind in dark scenarios in games. Perfect views in lighted colors though.

Overall Review: A lot of people complained about washed out colors...? not really sure if these people are stupid but a small amount of adjusting the brightness down (100 to 50) and contrast up (50 to 70) clears the picture right up. Looks great on games like League of Legends, The Secret World, Lotro, War Z etc. no problems at all (except night time in War Z, almost unplayable due to the LED on the bottom half of the screen.)

Pros: Upgraded from a 8600 GT, HUGE improvement for me. I dont get a lot of money so this was a very nice find. Haven't had a single problem at all and am able to run any game I want on at least medium depending on the game. I mainly got this for RIFT and SWTOR. Thanks for this EVGA!

Cons: none
