LOWEST PRICE

In Desktop Computer

I enjoy the fact that this pc is easily upgradable and fun to use on a daily basis with top of the line hardware.

Runs well Fully customizable RGB setup

It was the most carefully shipped thing I have ever received. Great customer service.

Runs all sorts of games great. So far I've tried things like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Fatal Frame, Devil May Cry, etc. and had no issues.

Just the hardware upgrade I needed. My old computer was one I bought from Newegg 13 years ago.

All recent tech, recent chipset, ddr 5, pci 5, decently fast gaming ram, fast 4/5th gen M2 drives, quiet as a mouse, case has good cooling setup and metal weight support for video card built in. I've been building with Gigabyte motherboards for years they are my first choice when building a system. Unfortunately currently it's very difficult to purchase gpus and ddr5 ram because apparently the data center operators are buying so much that no one else can get any and supposedly the situation is not predicted to get better until next year sometime. I'm old and tired I really didn't feel like messing with building another machine and the price on this one was just way too good to pass up with room for upgrades so I took the plunge. Gigabyte does not use proprietary parts so you shouldn't run into situations with stuff that won't fit in the case, non standard power supplies etc. etc. You get a bag with a handful of additional cables (psu must be modular I didn't take the back off the case to look but since there are cables in the bag that must be the situation). You also get a plug in antenna for the wifi and bluetooth that's built into the motherboard. Gigabyte uses their own branded components as well, the only thing I would have really done differently is I would have put a thousand watt power supply in here but the 850 is really plenty it's just that the less you stress a power supply the longer it lasts which is my reasoning for always buying the larger unit if I can. The last time I built a system was in 2017, a number of components have taken leaps in speed even in just that short of a time period. Honestly I do not need a fifty series gpu but I also know that when the power is out there the game developers are not shy about using it so I always buy the newest gpu I can afford. Just a note, apparently Gigabyte is discontinuing their 5070 ti gpus which might be why they have this sytem at such a nice price but that's fine I don't need more than what I have I don't play those sorts of games. In a few years I could also buy a better gpu and slap it in there this machine will support a 5090 if you wanna sell your firstborn to buy one (but I'd suggest a psu upgrade if you put one of those in here). Gigabyte motherboards tend to have a good amount of expandability, you get three m2 slots one 5 and two class 4's and three pcie slots so many motherboards these days have one expansion slot if that. I don't currently have anything that needs to be installed in a slot but it's nice to have the option. This board also has four ram slots another thing you see getting scrimped on in other product lines. (4 dual channel as well). Setup: Everything arrived very well packaged. You'll need to remove the glass side (nice case has trapped screws on the panels no worries about losing them) and remove the two foam packs inside, other than that there are a few plastic protector sheets on various things and a few labels you need to pull off. When you plug in your monitor(s) use the ports on the back of the gpu not the ones on the backplane (if it had a built in gpu you'd use those but this machine doesn't). Make sure you understand which usb ports are what speed, usb 3 still tends to have a blue inside but there are some different usb 3 types today and the backplane also has one usb c port on it which I plugged my external drive case into. There are two red usb A ports on the backplane one of which supports gigabyte's kinda new fancy dancy bios flash sytem (apparently you put the bios update on a zip drive plug it into that special slot and press a button and it will proceed to flash your bios for you (I need to read up on this I'm probably too much of a control freak and will prefer to do it the old way which you also have that option.) It's definitely a pretty system with all the led lights on the fans, top of the ram etc. but I don't really care that much about that. I sit on the right side of the case so I don't see all the fancy lighting unless I walk past it. With all the fans in this case I'm dumfounded by how quiet it is. You can hardly hear a whisper over regular room noise, even when it's nearly silent in the room you can just barely hear a little noise from moving air and the internal fans are properly set to intake through the front and exhaust through the top of the case. The only time I could hear the fans hardly at all was when I was running a very graphics intensive game at high quality settings. Most of us casual gamers will be very satisfied with this system and you really can't beat the price with a stick for this much power. All those nice things being said it's not perfect nothing ever is but at least so far there are really only two things every web site will tell you to remove right away because it's bloatware or buggy.

easy to set up. literally just plug and play. no issues and i play it everyday.

It's super tiny and easy to travel with. I mainly use it for some light work like browsing, streaming, some productivity tasks and it handles everything smoothly. It wont replace a high-end desktop, but for general use, its solid. It has a variety of ports for a monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.
