Acer Aspire Desktop, 7th Gen Intel Core i5-7400, 8GB DDR4, 2TB HDD, Windows 10 Home, TC-780-AMZKi5

I purchased this computer with the intent of using it for work and school and possibly upgrading it for gaming later. The best feature of this budget PC is the processor, the I5 7400 is quite impressive in terms of what it can do and makes this PC an excellent candidate for upgrading down the road. The large 2 TB hard drive is fairly fast and will give you plenty of storage for multimedia projects. I myself, have used this PC for rendering videos in Sony Vegas and it gets them done very quickly. the integrated graphics in the computer are, of course, nothing to fathom over. However, they do get the job done on lighter titles such as Minecraft and even CS:GO if you turn down the settings a lot. The WiFi that comes built-in with this PC does a very good job at connecting you to your internet, depending on your actual internet quality. The PC isn't loud at all and all the temps stay decently low. Bluetooth is another nice feature. The power supply does its job at giving everything enough power; however, it doesn't have an extra PCI Express hookup and cannot power a graphics card that needs extra power.In conclusion, for the price, you cannot beat the value.Pros:Good processorLarge hard driveNice and quietSturdy caseBluetoothBuilt-in WifiCons:Power supply doesn't have PCI hookup for graphics cards that require it, and therefore will need to be upgradedRecommendations:Put a basic GPU, such as a GTX 1050 TI, in it. This card doesn't require PCI power.Update (Currently ordering PSU and will be putting a graphics card in it)

Decent, cheap computer. I love that it doesn't come pre-installed with a bunch of garbage (like HPs do). I've been running this for two weeks now and it's been doing great. Completely silent! I did install an extra LED fan in the back (mostly for giggles) and upgraded the video card to EVGA GeForce GT 740 2GB (what I had installed in my last tower). I work with AutoCAD LT for a living and play World of Warcraft in my down time. It does great with both. I may install a little more RAM and a solid slate drive further down the line as well, but in the mean time I see this set up meeting my needs and lasting for years.Update: had been experiencing some screen tearing on my main monitor. After messing with some idiotic Windows 10 settings and some Nvidia settings I am not longer experiencing any issues. I find myself taking for granted how fantastic this computer is, but when I remember my old computer I realize how fantastic this new one is. Boots fast, runs silent, and no bloat ware to annoy me (like an HP would have).

This is a great computer. I chose it because i needed a better computer than my laptop for SolidWorks (An engineering design software). Although this is not the absolute best computer that I could have bought for engineering, it's definitely better than my laptop (Toshiba Satellite with a AMD A6 up to 2GHz), and is a goof buy for the price.Booting up and setting up the computer was easy. It started right up with no problems. The only problem that I ran into was the same problem that many people have been running into recently with this computer on Amazon which was the error that states that the computer can not be activated due to the activation code already being used. This is why I am rating this at 4 stars rather than 5. Although it is supposed to come with a valid copy of Windows 10 and I had to pay for it, it is still a good buy for me because even for the extra $120 for Windows 10, it is still a good computer. Just doing average things like surfing the internet and browsing web pages, the CPU was clocking at about 3.35 to 3.45 GHz.As for the keyboard and mouse that comes with it, I never used it. I just bought a wireless mouse and keyboard for less mess of cords.The motherboard does have an open PCIe x16 and a PCIe x1.0 slot on it. I don't do very much gaming, so I did not upgrade the graphics card. Instead, I installed a Sound Blaster Audigy RX because I do a lot of music and audio processing.Pros:Fast processorFair amount of RAMHuge hard driveCustomizabilityCons:Had to buy Windows 10In conclusion, I would recommend this computer, but would also warn you that I am not the only person who has had to buy Windows 10 for this computer, so expect to pay an extra $120 for it.
