the graphics card failed after two days so I got a replacement today. it has software that lets it light up over 8 million colors though! I also put in an ssd but that voids the warranty by opening the case. you also have to completely disassemble the internals to get to the sata power on the motherboard. overall I think it wS a good decision rather than just building my own.

Nice, but you should've probably had geek squad hook it up for you. Another $100 but its worth not having to worry about whether your internet is set up and updated properly.

maybe you could have mentioned how you got 0% financing by getting a Best Buy credit card, which would have bumped it up to at least a 3.

They had one of those on display but I didn't feel like it was quite "gamer" enough for me.

No, it looks like an alien spaceship that glows on all sides with no windows because it is in a small non traditional shape.

E: wait, no it only glows in the front and underneath

I suppose there is an argument to be made for buying a pre-made gaming PC, but it just seems like it would be easier and faster to assemble your own.

It's only gotten easier since then. you literally buy all the parts, and then smash all the pieces together and turn it on
