Pros: All MSI components Decent Price Point Looks good upgradeable
Cons: Not a full ATX board like it shows in the images. Different heatsink than shown in images but seems
Overall Review: Just purchased two of these for my sons as upgrades as its impossible to get video cards for a reasonable price and I don't have time to build them up some systems. Systems come well packaged with foam inside to keep the heat sink in place. Heatsink is a heat piped model different that what they show int he images. I prefer this type although it will not light up the inside of the case the same way. Motherboard is MSI B560M PRO-VDH WIFI Video Card is RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2x 8G OCV1 LHR RAM is XPG AX4U32008G16A-BB10 When I first started up the system up the top fan wasn't lit up. I took the back panel off and one of the cables had come loose in shipping. It was taped, but likely popped from the heat. System comes well packaged and the tower is wrapped in a cloth cover to keep it from getting scratched. Overall its a good system and is testing out well. I have also added a Samsung 980 SSD to the other m.2 slot and its working perfectly. Will update this review after they get to use them at Christmas.
