Most Favorable Review

Excellent m/b

Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING WIFI II AMD AM4 (3rd Gen Ryzen) ATX Gaming Motherboard (PCIe 4.0,WiFi 6E, 2.5Gb LAN, BIOS FlashBack, HDMI 2.1, Addressable Gen 2 RGB Header and AURA Sync)

Overall Review: Well worth the extra $50 over similar build brands, replaced a brand new gigabyte that couldnt get off the ground with this one, and everything went perfectly. Asus is just better from board to bios to apps.

Most Critical Review

It failed after a couple months

COOLMOON Gaming 80 Plus Bronze 600W Power Supply PSU, Full Modular 600 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified PSU with Silent 140mm Fan
COOLMOON Gaming 80 Plus Bronze 600W Power Supply PSU, Full Modular 600 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified PSU with Silent 140mm Fan

Pros: It really is a psu

Cons: It failed after two months

Overall Review: The app won’t allow me to tap one egg for review. But that’s what I have to give this. I can not recommend buying at all.

Nice PC with very few issues

MSI Aegis R2(Tower) Gaming Desktop, AMD R9-9900X, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 32GB DDR5, 2TB M.2 NVMe, Liquid Cooling, USB Type-C, VR-Ready, Windows 11 Home Advance

Pros: No issues with setup. Power supply, motherboard, memory, graphics are all very good, with plenty of support for adding on.

Cons: Included mouse randomly stopped tracking, fairly frequently, until I threw it away. Only one SATA cable was included and no bolts, so save your old stuff. Drive cage is a bit small and not very convenient. Drive sleeves from my old one didn't fit. So again, save your small bolts and cables if you're adding on, and maybe your mouse too. There was one loose bolt rattling around in the cage that was a pain to fish out, but otherwise seemed put together well. Remember to remove the video card wrapping (it's already seated of course so you might have to remove and reset). Maybe it's standard for these pre-builts to leave that stuff on when shipping, but seems foolish to me. Paid for max expedited shipping, it was late by a day or so.

Overall Review: I didn't do much price comparison as I was rushed. My old PC finally tanked and didn't support Win11 anyway. But this is the first pre-built PC of the few I've gotten that I'm generally happy with. I would buy it again.

Defective mess

Overall Review: I already wrote two reviews for this, both detailed and negative. For some reason I keep getting request to review again since negative ones don't take. This m/b did not work as advertised. I sent it back after much troubleshooting, dropped an Asus in its place, and all worked perfectly. I do not recommend this.

Perfect modular power supply

Overall Review: Easy install, consistent output, every cable you need and then some

Lots of rgb fans

LISM 6 PCS PC Case Cooler Fan, 120mm Fan RGB Fan Quiet, with Remote Control, Cooler Interface Cooler Cooling Computer Fan
LISM 6 PCS PC Case Cooler Fan, 120mm Fan RGB Fan Quiet, with Remote Control, Cooler Interface Cooler Cooling Computer Fan

Pros: Works as advertised, remote control is sort of cool, especially the lights off button, fan speed/ light intensity/ colors are all configurable, easy 4-pin connection to its router powers all fans

Cons: Cable management is issue, so youre basically lighting up a rats nest unless you can swing it on the rear panel I guess (I didnt try since I had an ssd back there already but router is pretty flat). Might be better managed with a larger atx case, this review for mid-sized Fans not variable with temp

Overall Review: Good value for price if you like disco lights
