the number of USB ports is great there is room for expansion of the RAM up ...
This is my first "Gaming" PC that I bought without assembling myself. At first what drew me to it was the price, it was quite reasonable when compared to buying the components individually. As I looked deeper though other things caught my eye. The number of USB 3.0 ports (its hard to find a PC with 5 of them) and the GTX 1050 Ti, while not high end, scored decently on benchmarks compared to some of the AMD Cards I saw in other builds. PROS: * Build construction is top notch. There were no loose screws or rattling bits inside. The PC Fired up the first time without issue. * The Mobo is top notch, the number of USB ports is great there is room for expansion of the RAM up to 32GB (16x2). I immediately bumped mine up to 16GB and have not regretted it. * The video card is solid. I run Overwatch at 60FPS on High/Very High with ease and Battlefield 1 at over 60 FPS on Ultra. Less graphically intense games like Diablo 3 and Minecraft near the 100 FPS mark. CONS: * There are no available PCI slots for upgrades like a fixed WiFi card (it comes with a dongle, which I found had a fairly weak range) or capture card. * There is only one 5.25" front bay occupied by the DVD player it comes with. This strikes me as odd because the tower itself is huge. It seems a large portion of space is being occupied by the front LED silliness and a single front facing 3.5" bay (which I suppose you could fit a front bay of USB ports into as this model has them on top but not front). * The Power supply is a bit weak should you, in the future, wish to upgrade the video card. Really 500 Watts is minimal and I would really like to see companies defaulting to 750 or 800 Watt supplies, the price difference is so minimal but the performance increase is great. * No built in Bluetooth. This is minor, but something that adds a lot of functionality to a PC. * The included keyboard is not worth keeping. The keys are very stiff and its over all appearance is a bit goofy. The media buttons are nice, but my spacebar squeaked out of the box. I immediately replaced it with a Razer Blackwidow. The mouse is also a bit flimsy, since it has no weight balancers you can put in it I found it very light and easy to toss about.
