Unusable: Screen freezes and goes black
I just got it today and I have mixed feelings about this computer so far. It was easy enough to set up and when it works I can't complain, but the screen has been freezing and turning off, just to turn back on and become responsive again. Sometimes it doesn't turn back on and I have to force reboot the machine to get it working again. I don't know if there is simply something wrong with mine or whether it will persist, but so far I have pretty low confidence in it.If I didn't have this problem I would probably rate it 4 stars. I think it would be challenging to buy the individual parts and build it for less. It's very good value. I suppose they get some money from BullGuard, which is probably where they get their profit margin from. I'm a bit disappointed with the stickers that void the warranty if broken, because I was hoping to upgrade it with a discrete graphics card. Currently I can't even open the box to check if it has the power connectors required for the graphics card without voiding the warranty. I would also like to install an SSD, because the HDD is noticeably slowing down the system.Right now I don't know whether to keep it, return it, get it repaired or void the warranty and upgrade it. If I do void the warranty, I will update the review with details of how upgradable it is. I'm curious about what happens when running non-activated Windows, so I will stick with Windows for a while, but my plan is to run Linux on it. If I do install Linux I will update the review with how Linux friendly it is. If the freezing disappears, I might increase the rating.Update 1: After updating the drivers, the freezing hasn't happened anymore. Let's hope it stays that way.Update 2: It was working fine for a while, but now the system is unusable. When the freezing happens in a game, the game doesn't recover and you have to kill it and start it again, which means that you lose any unsaved progress. Currently, the freezing is so frequent that I'm not even able to start a game before it freezes.

16gb ram ryzen 3 vega 8 graphics more powerful than i expected
amazing machine I have been using for live streaming to twitch running the xbox through the companion app and obs and it barely taxes it even without a dedicated graphics card it runs games like neverwinter amd sea of thieves no problem but its not enough to stream and game on the pc alone at the same time but with a capture card using it to stream from console it handles it fine i am very impressed with this for the price

Good basic machine but
I bought this basic machine to play basic online games which it does very well. However, I went to buy a similar one for my brother and looked up the company online - direct. I found that I was able to "design" a better spec computer, for a little more money. Wish I had gone to the web site !!

Perfect PC - as described
Computer as described, completely plug and play. Activated Windows via link purchased on simply on eBay and delivered electronically for less than Β£10 so donβt be daunted by this. Perfect starter gaming computer plays latest titles. The Sims 3 and 4 does not recognise the graphics card but settings can be amended to recreate perfect graphics. Delivered in line with lower end of estimated delivery. Thank you!!

Incredible value
This PC is amazing value for its price to performance. The Ryzen 3rd gen 3200G handles most games I threw at it as well as handling emulation well. Don't be put off by the integrated Vega graphics, they are quite capable at 720p and 1080p. Another positive is this PC is easily upgradeable. The PC was delivered quickly and was packaged very well

You can run any game on 120 FPS
I used this product for a total of 3 games and it was still able to produce the amazing quality that was guaranteed. You are able to run 120 FPS (frames per second) on any game. I highly think people should buy this gaming PC.
