this is the best computer i have ever ill give it 10/10

Awesome

This was the first real PC i bought (first one i bought i had 30fps and it was so bad it went back to console) this is by far one of the best experiences I had switching over. It feels much better than console ever has and I plan on staying on PC forever. All my games run beautifully, the graphics are crisp, the pc is actually pretty quiet when ran, and it looks cool on my desk with the built in lights. This is a great starter PC if you are new to it and would recommend 10/10

Well so far one week with this PC, I’ve had a couple that I’ve built in the past, my last one had a 3060 with a Ryzen5 5600x and 16GB of ram, with no SSD haha, only hdd and no Ethernet cable for personal reasons, but recently I saw this one on Discount and even then I’ll admit it was a bit pricey, but if you have the money, go for it, great value and perfect for anyone who isn’t trying to spend time researching and building one, ignore all the nerds out there, obviously there is always better, it just depends on how much money and time you want to spend, but as soon as I got this one, I pushed it to its limits, Ive been playing games like Fortnite, Battlefield 6 Beta, Path of Exiles 2, Marvel Rivals, and PUBG, all on Ultra settings and getting at least 200-300+ frames depending on game, even while streaming on discord and twitch(and I get 30mbps on average). Can have multiple applications running at once and can seamlessly alt tab from one to another without any delay or lag. Easy to set up, definitely an upgrade to what I used to have, its more than enough for the average persons who’s trying to switch from console to PC, hopefully this was helpful to someone, I’ll edit and update if anything else come’s up, but first impressions have been amazing. Plus its definitely friendly for those who want to add more memory or switch ram, lots of room, and the case gets more than decent air flow, it always stays cold and I don’t think I’ll have to upgrade this build for years.

The system offered good value for the specs, arrived damage free and well packaged for transit. Set-up was easy and while it came preinstalled with the usual first-party bloatware it was easy to clean up windows of all the detritus. The bundled keyboard+mouse were not used but expect the usual freebie quality. Performance was on par for the specs and I enjoyed my time with it but I needed more power and ended up returning the PC. Actual specs: MSI Pro B650-P Wifi motherboard, Ryzen 7 8700F, a single 32GB stick of T-Force Vulcan DDR5 6000 taken from a 64GB kit, a 2TB WD Green SN3000 SSD, RTX 5070 Ventus 2X, an OEM 750W non-modular power supply, Value: Pricing out the individual components, the Z2 came out a few hundred bucks ahead of building it myself. However, the ram and SSD were standout items as they are not the best performing pieces of the system. Single-channel DDR5 isnt as bad as previous generations, but I would have much preferred two sticks of 16GB over a single 32GB stick. The WD Green SN3000 SSD is an okay storage drive from a reputable manufacturer for light use, however it has a poor TBW endurance rating and just isn't cut out for more intensive productivity applications over the long term; its definitely an area where MSI cheaped out due to the DRAM shortage. Packaging: A nice thick outer box holds thick closed cell foam which protects the system from the usual bumps and jostles of shipping. The tower itself is inside a fabric bag witha handle used to pull it out of the shipping box. Do be mindful that the bundled peripherals are on one side of the box and take them out before lifting the tower. A little accessories bag is included the contains extra sata and PCIe cables and the usual paperwork. Performance: Won't get into the details since you can watch reviews for the components but it hit all the expected values for the specs. It is pretty quiet even under load, and temperatures were not concerning even considering the small 100mm single tower CPU cooler. Conclusions/TLDR: Overall good impressions. Good value proposition, generally decent components apart from ram configuration and SSD choice, adequate performance for the specs, personally needed more.

Great desktop.... But, I'm extremely disappointed that it came with a single 32gb stick of ram so it's not dual Channel
