I reviewed many a pc. Went with this one and made a great choice. Yes the fan is LOUD but that the only negative. My sons and me enjoy the fast speed with all the games. GREAT PRICE!! You really can't go wrong. Had it for for a few weeks now. Bought a square trade warranty. Best buy wouldn't give a good price to warranty the pc. So i feel secure if anything goes wong.

This is a great computer expect that the fan is loud and that it doesn't have a wireless card. But I would recommend this for any PC gamers that want a good price and a fast x computer that starts up fast and then can be put in sleep mode at night. And the other problem was the graphics card you might have to upgrade to play newer games.

This was purchased for my 13 yr old son for Christmas! When we received the computer the ports were loose and the sound card doesnt work. The computer is fast but i am conflicted as to whether i wasted my money or not.

Check those wires

When I first got this system I had trouble with it starting itself over or turning off if it was slightly bumped. Thinking I had a bad unit, not thinking to check the wires, I took it back to the store. Where they just snapped the wires back into place like the were suppose to be. Also if your buying this for gaming go ahead and get a new graphics card. The one it comes with isn't great, but that's the risk of not building a pc yourself. I say get the Gtx 950 pretty good card with a great price. Other than the problems I had with it at the start it's working fine now and couldn't be happier.

I was a little upset that this gaming PC didn't have very many PCI ports. The computer runs better than I thought it would.

This was bought for my son as his first gaming computer. He had a laptop that just could not keep up with the games he was wanting to play. He did end up replacing the graphics card with an even better one so he could play the gamse on their highest settings. Other than that it works great.

This PC is very very good for the price. The video is a little weak but other than that, and it tells you it is a basic video card, this computer which I use for personal as well as a small business, does everything I have needed and is fast enough. Storage is quite adequate also.

with all the reviews complaining about the graphics card, i expected to need to replace it right away. Not the case, it runs WoW well, it plays Netflix and Hulu with out issue. This computer is a perfect buy for someone not needing to do anything heavy duty, and wants a at home personal computer with out over taxing programs.

Overall good value for entry level gaming pc. You'll need to pick up some dvi cables as the unit does not come with any. It's pretty large though so make sure you have space.

Came right out of the box with a broken fan. Can't run it till I make another 140 mile round trip to my nearest Best Buy and have it fixed. Sure glad I paid extra for the Geek Squad protection. I've had to have them fix the last few items I've purchased.

I'm a graphic designer (not a gamer) that was looking for a decent PC with an AMD processor (I've always preferred them) for running Photoshop but still had room to expand should I decide I need more RAM or a better graphics card and this one fit the bill perfectly. It works wonderfully, is fast and easily handles large psd files and numerous open programs at once. My old unit was a standard HP that was pretty silent so yeah, this one with it's many fans is a good bit louder but not distractingly so and it was to be expected. All in all I really love the PC and would certainly buy from CybertronPC again. I only wish I could have afforded the 709 model. Maybe next time.

This is my first foray into gaming PCs. I wanted to start simple, something on the lower end that I could easily upgrade and I have to say that this computer fits the bill perfectly. Large case, lots of airflow and neat design (if your gonna go with the name of "Borg" for the computer you simply have to go for the glowing green version). System wise it runs very well so far, a few games it chugs on, Skyrim runs moderately well on med to low quality. Cities Skylines for some reason chugs like a MF on low settings. Minecraft(modded) runs perfectly fine. I'm gonna follow the Amazon reviews advice and upgrade the graphics card ASAP but other then that I am completely satisfied so far.

I plugged it in right out of the box and got started. It runs well. You will want to upgrade the graphics card if you want to play some of the more demanding AAA titles. Despite that, it still runs Minecraft (both modded and vanilla), Cities: Skylines on low settings, Team Fortress 2, Civilization V, and more. It can even run these games while recording them at the same time. I record and edit for YouTube on this and it works great. For the price, you get decent power and a case that kicks some a**. This thing looks cool and everyone is jealous. My brothers will be buying it in different colors after seeing mine. I recommend this to anyone who wants to get into PC Gaming or YouTube but is on a low budget.
