Acer Aspire TC-865-DH11 i5-8400 8GB Desktop Tower Computer

I see some reviews where people had problems with this computer. However, I bought this computer about a year ago and it has been a good computer with no problems. It runs very quietly. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. The only reason I don't give it 5 of 5 is that you will need to upgrade it for serious gaming, so if you don't game then that is no problem. It only has integrated graphics (no graphics card/GPU), and so it doesn't handle more demanding games well (low frame rates/fps). Which most computers will only have the integrated graphics unless they are gaming computers.Since I like to game I added a new graphics card (the motherboard has one PCIE16x slot which is needed for today's GPU's, so that is great). Once you add a good graphics card you will need a new power supply, as this computer's 300w power supply is not enough (these GPU's require a lot of power). I replaced it with a 750w power supply. I also added one 8gb ram stick to upgrade the ram (computer has one 8GB RAM stick) to make it a total of 16gb RAM (this wasn't necessary, but if you are running a lot programs and applications on your computer at one time, and gaming etc., then this helps things go more smoothly. (16GB RAM total is really the most you will need, after that it is usually overkill).Lastly, you could consider adding an SSD drive to complement the hard drive that you already have. I didn't do this yet, as so far the 1TB of storage space has been adequate. SSD drives are much faster than hard drives though, so if you get one, programs will load much faster & the computer will boot up much faster.I hope this review helps. It is a good computer, it only needed a few bells and whistles to turn it into a gaming computer.

it is bad purchase. it has sleep mode problem

I bought this computer from BJs (never going to buy from them again) and it worked well for the first 4 months. Then today, the hard drive crashed and the only option I have is to mail it to their Texas repair center for warranty repair. I need the computer working now for work and this really made it troublesome for me to complete what I need to do. I haven't had a hard drive crash for over 15 years and the first time I buy a machine that isn't a Mac or my own hard drive of course it fails.I'm going to try putting in a new hard drive first and if that doesn't fix the issue, I'll pay the money for shipping to their service center but I think it is ridiculous that I have to mail the entire machine.
