I have been wanting a gaming computer for a long time. I had been looking at parts and planning on building myself. Well the GPU market is a little slim right now, and this computer had the GPU and CPU I wanted. It was on sale, so it was too great to pass up. Bought this and the ASUS monitor to go along with it. Holy cow I can not begin to describe how happy I am with it. Got it out of the box, plugged in, turned on, and was playing games within an hour. This computer is about as plug and play as they come! The tower is sturdy, has a beautiful glass side panel. I love the colored light aesthetic, and there is a convenient button on the front for changing the colors. Each part has its own booklet that came with it, all parts are MSI (this was supper impressive to me, MSI is a top quality brand and I wouldn't have expected every part to be top quality from a pre-built). Plenty of extra room in the tower for expansion as well. On to games: I played Overwatch, at over 80 fps at ultra settings, Rocket League at max settings, and Final Fantasy X, oh man FFX! I cranked the settings way up and almost cried from how gorgeous this system made that game look. Played games for several hours straight, then decided to see how hot my pc was getting... it wasn't! this thing was basically pumping out A/C! This computer is CLUTCH! I'd buy again in a heartbeat. May not be an Elite machine, but if you are looking for a good gaming pc that will "kill the console" this is it my friend. TL:DR - Its my first gaming computer, from my experience it's definitely worth while. Easy to set up and get started. Played Overwatch, Rocket League and FFX/X2 Remaster at highest settings, getting 80fps on OW. Hardware is top quality (MSI) and the tower has lots of room for expansion. May not be an Elite machine, but if you are looking for a good gaming pc that will "kill the console" this is it my friend.
