I've only had this computer for a few days, but it's a massive improvement over my 6 year old build it replaced. Everything worked perfectly out of the box, no problems. When I opened up the case to take out the shipping material, I was pleased to see that everything held up very well in transit (despite UPS banging up my box). I usually build my own computers but got this on an Amazon day deal. I figured I'd have to get everything in my build at a considerable discount to match this price - and even then, it wouldn't look as good as this pre-built (I'm terrible with wire management).
I'd like to address a few concerns I've read on here. A lot of people have complained about the generic RAM, and the speed that it runs at - and let me tell you right now, it isn't a problem. While you could upgrade to some 3200 for about $70, it isn't necessary., You'd be getting a very minor performance bump but you'd be generating a lot more heat. Now, if you want to overclock your system, I might not recommend it with this system based on the motherboard (There isn't anything wrong with the Z390 form factor, but I don't know that it's the best for overclocking.) and power supply. If you do want to overclock this system, it's purely to show off. There isn't really anything game-wise that this computer can't run at or above 60 fps on the highest settings. And there isn't anything wrong with the power supply they used either. I read some reviews that said it wasn't big enough, and this simply isn't true (unless you want to attempt overclocking, but again, it isn't the least bit necessary to overclock this system).
While I personally wouldn't buy a computer like this at full price, it is a steal when it is discounted (paid around $1300 with tax on Prime day). The case really is beautiful. My ONLY complaint (and it isn't worth removing a star for) is that the case has one LED light inside that will not turn off when you shut down unless you manually flip the power switch on the psu. This isn't a problem, and I've taken to the habit of flipping the switch off after i shut down at night, but it would be really nice if I could turn that LED off somehow (all the other LED's are very easy to turn on and off).
Oh, and one last note. Contrary to many reviews I've read, the keyboard and mouse I was sent work great. I'll probably end up using my old keyboard and mouse until they die before I start using the new ones, but they are just as good quality-wise if not better than the gaming keyboard and mouse set I've been using for the past 8 years.
I will update this review below if any issues come up after this initial review (posted June 22nd, 2019).
11-16-19, four month update:
Computer is still rubbing fine. I hsd a strange issue for a bit with what seemed like a slow startup that took 1-2 minutes from time to time. Ended up this was because of the dp to dvi conversion cable I was using (I was still using my old monitor). If anyone else has this issue, just buy a new monitor with displayport. Works flawlessly. I'd like to add that I ended up buying an htc vive, and I haven't found a single vr game that makes this computer hiccup. It plays everything at max settings. No overclocking and no excess heat generation. Still running great, no issues.
