    Best upgradable Prebuilt PC

    There’s plenty of scope for upgrading but it’s all ready to plug and play out of the box. Tried the latest gaming titles like Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty with Raytracing and was blown away by how smooth the graphics and no dip in FPS. The provided RGB keyboard and mouse are decent, along with plenty of peripheral ports. The fan noise is not too loud and I was able to easily add a secondary M2 SSD (it’s right by the fan). Be sure to enable DTS X/ultra for your headphones, speakers for spatial sound and take your gaming to the next level - the app is already pre installed. Happy gaming!

    Acer did an amazing job on this system. This is actually the first and only pre-built gaming system I have ever owned. For the past 15 years or so, I’ve custom built all my systems from the motherboard up. I’ve probably built around 30 machines for both myself and others so I am no stranger to trying to pick the best parts that fit the budget. I think that’s what I like so much about this system is that Acer didn’t skimp on the parts but still put everything together in a beautiful package, at a reasonable price, for what is inside. The aesthetics of this machine are absolutely amazing. They did an excellent job with the cable management and the fans and fancy glass case design make this a true conversation piece. You can tell when you turn the machine on that there was a lot of thought that went in to the design of this system from an aesthetics perspective, and let’s be honest, for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike, you want to show off your tower. I feel Acer did a phenomenal job achieving this. The performance is astounding. Acer built this machine with future proofing in mind. A 1TB M.2 drive, i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a Nvidia 3080! What more could you want? Especially at this price point! One of the things that really stands out for me with this system, is the ease of upgrading it should you choose. This system is great out of the box with no changes or additions. I’ve played multiple big-name titles at max settings both in 4k and 2k and the framerates are excellent and the temperatures are decent. But if you are an enthusiast, like me, you may want to add or upgrade some features on the system and it is very easy to accomplish. There IS a secondary M.2 slot for expanded M.2 storage. Two additional memory slots for expanded memory. Room to fit an all-in-one water cooler and radiator should you choose to go that route, and expandable hard drive storage as well. I have added an additional M.2 as well as multiple internal hard drives already. This is an amazing machine from the parts to the design. Performance is excellent for all the newest games, the aesthetics are amazing, cooling is great as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an excellent high-performance PC. Also, keep in mind you can add so much more to this system. I feel it is priced really well and really fits the mark at an affordable, beautiful, high-powered PC. I’m not much of benchmark person, but I did perform a couple popular benchmark tests as well as took some screenshots of the important parts within this system in case you want to know exactly what comes inside.

    Stellar Performance and build Quality

    This gaming PC is the awesome. The speed of all the components together make for a Stellar build and performance gaming PC. First off the boot up speed is really fast with the included m.2 gen 4 SSD, Windows boots so fast. Gaming performance and boot up times are incredible to go along with it. Acrer Knows what they are doing. The i7-12700 4.9Ghz 12 core processor is top notch and temps stay low under load with its large heat sink and 120mm fan. First thing you notice when you boot this up are the massive 140mm fans on the case front. They are whisper quiet and look really good with the fan shrouds acer is using around them, they look like jet engines really. The build of the case is very solid with its metal chassis and tempered glass window. Setting up Windows seems easier now days than it used to be, went very smooth and fast. Once inside I started messing with the pulsar lighting via predator sense to make this PC my own. It's really good software and intuitive. It synces with the included keyboard and mouse which I very much appreciate. Then I loaded up chrome and I had 50 tabs loaded and youtube playing video on 10 of them. The performance never suffered that I could tell. 16 gb of DDR5 ram clocking in at 4400 mhz is sufficient but I recommend 32 for those hardcore gamers and multitaskers out there. The GPU, it's all about the GPU. Acers 3080 they put in here really tears through my games. It has 3 fans so cooling should not be an issue. I played Forza Horizon 5 most of the time and was hitting 85-95 FPS average at 1440p, just beautiful and smooth gameplay. I did play some COD Warzone and noticed the framerate was hitting the 120's average which is phenomenal. So if you're in the market for a prebuilt gaming PC by a very reputable company then Id look no further than this. I believe the price is fair for what you get. Acer put a nice PC together with top notch components.

    2 month review: Amazing prebuilt desktop that I bought during the Black Friday sale for 1800. I missed the sale that had it for 1750, but its well worth the price. Sure, you can build your own, but when it comes to warranty and faulty parts you'll be on your own there contacting the manufacturer. With GS from Best Buy, they'll help out if there are any hardware issues especially in this time of delayed shipping for computer parts. One of my friends got a replacement 30 series GPU within a day of having his own prebuilt messing up(he bought a cyberpower prebuilt). First impressions were that this thing is HUGE!!! It's a large tower in comparison to my old mid size Omen gaming from HP. The intel CPU & Nvidia GPU are high end and make this system run almost anything on the highest settings. Cooling is fairly decent as well. Prebuilts usually have cooling issues as many companies skimp out on the cooling systems, but with 3 intake fans, cpu fan, gpu radiator, and 1 outtake fan- this keeps your temps cool in the 60-75C range depending on the games and your preferred monitor resolutions. I use a QHD Dell monitor with 144HZ and it works like a dream in combination with this pc. ***I do want to note that you can edit the cooling through the "Predator Sense" APP that comes preinstalled onto this system. Just search it up in your programs upon start up. You can change you colors and customize your fan speeds. If you use the basic fan settings, you'll see your system heat up in the 70-74C range for online fps games like OW2 & COD. Though understand that this is normal temps for QHD & 4k resolution. You can even look up online comparison temps if you don't believe me. If you put the fans on the gaming mode- the system does get VERY loud, but you'll be able to play for hours on the end. I played for 10 hours straight after messing around with the custom fan settings(not max rpm/fan settings) and it never broke past 70C on this pc!!! So I was very impressed. The 1tb NVME drive turned out to be a Samsung drive and they do make excellent drives, so this was very nice. The system works very snappy and fast for all my gaming apps and productivity apps for work and online courses. 16GB DDR5 is nice for my needs too, You can upgrade this with several other brands so that's good. You can upgrade your memory(though adding a NVME drive does require removal of your GPU and its bracket as its GIANT). Though if you want to add any SSDs or HDDs, you have two slots at the bottom for EASY storage upgrading. You can also add more fans on the top, but it's very important to know that altering/adding any parts does void the warranty! That goes with any prebuilt hardware from Best Buy. So do proceed with caution if you do this. This system even came with Spider-man Remastered for free, which ran like smooth butter on this sweet system. Overall, for around 2K after taxes and 3 years of GS warranty, this prebuilt gaming pc is well worth the price for quality, cooling, and reliability. I will update if I encounter any issues, but so far, this runs like a dream tbh.

    Purchased when it was $500 off. Great specs. Ready to play after about 15 mins of setup. I upgraded to 2x16gb Acer Predator RGB DDR5. Did not have to move the heat sync but one of the ram sticks is pressed firmly against it. Predator Sense software comes installed so you can customize all your RGB settings.

    1st time getting a gaming PC after playing PlayStation for 12+ years. Did a lot of research on building my own and I didn't feel comfortable with doing it in fear of me not setting it up properly. I decided to settle on the Orion 5000 and I absolutely LOVE this PC, 5/5 stars. Runs every game perfectly !!!

    An Amazing prebuilt. Fast and quiet performance. I use it primarily for flight simulation and love this system. I also use it as my main backup system for videos and photos. I upgraded to 32GB RAM and added a 6TB HDD. Very easy to upgrade and the chassis is designed for it. Love the 12th Gen i7 and very impressed with the RTX 3080. Efficient and quiet cooling fans.

    Just got this home yesterday. I'll just review the initial experience and update my review if anything changes. But overall, it was a very smooth experience. The fit and finish on the tower is excellent. Lights look really good. Inspected the installation inside the tower and everything seems to be on point. Haven't been able to test it at 4K, but it's running AAA games blindingly fast on 1080p Ultra. Keyboard and Mouse that came with it are nothing to write home about, but definitely usable if you didn't already have nice ones. It is bigger than it looks in the pictures, at least to me - make sure you measure if you have space constraints. All the port selections I need... Really happy with the purchase so far, especially on the Black Friday Deal. I think the MSRP of $2300 is a little bit high, but even then you are also paying for convenience. I will also say that the more minor components on this prebuilt (PSU, MoBo, Tower, etc) are probably a little bit nicer than you'd get from the cheaper 3080 builds out there. Not as good as building it yourself, but if you want the best of the best, get a custom build or do it yourself.

    This was my first gaming pc purchase, and it did not disappoint. I am not a pc builder, so I went with a pre-built but wanted strong performance. The Acer is beautiful! The lights and cable management look pristine, giving my setup a new vibe. The computer runs everything I throw at it incredibly well, would highly recommend!
