Dell Inspiron Gaming PC Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Processor, 16GB DRAM, 1TB HDD, AMD Radeon RX 580 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card, Windows 10 64-bit, Blue LED, Model Number: i5676-A696Blu

Bought the $700 version with the Ryzen 7 2700 processor and Raedon Rx 580 4GB.So far have been loving it. Runs the games I play well and beautifully.Benchmarks:ARMA 3: ~50-60FPS on Ultra Settings, dips a little during heavy actionsXCOM2: 60+ FPS on Ultra, consistentTW: WARHAMMER II: Typically 60 FPS, can dip below during massive battlesRising Storm 2 Vietnam: ~80 FPS, consistentThis machine can run many modern games at around 60 FPS on Ultra or High graphics settings,Pros:Decent specs for the cost, building a similar computer would cost around the same and doesn't give you a warrantyGreat performance on many modern titlesPlenty of room for upgrades, will want to install an SSD eventually for those fast load/boot timesCons:Graphics card (RX 580 4GB) can be loud and run hot. I recommend downloading the AMD software that allows you to tweak the GPU's fan settings, and raising the curve there significantlyCan freeze up for a few secondsHard disk storage is inherently slow, the one included is decently fast for a hard disk but in this day and age you'll want an SSD if possible.Summary:Great entry level computer for those looking to get into PC Gaming, and has enough room to upgrade it later down the line. Would be a good option for kids as its not significantly more expensive than say an Xbox One X, and you can use it to teach them about computer parts and upgrading (if thats your thing). Similar cost to building your own, but with the peace of mind from the warranty.

GENERAL:Excellent all around computer. Truly can be used to dabble in a little of anything. Music Creation, Gaming, Video Production (I would imagine heavy 4k+ editing would be a challenge).PROS:- Quick setup, no technical knowledge required what-so-ever- Performs admirably at most tasks I throw at it- Processor performs like a beast - 8 Core with 16 logical processors- Dedicated GPU offers 4 monitor support with DX12- Performance in games is honestly incredible for the price of the GPU- Good connectivity including wireless, Bluetooth, ps2 ports, gigabit Ethernet, "enough" USB 3 ports- QUIET - I am not sure what people are on about in regards to fan noise. Maybe it's a defect in certain fans?CONS:- Blue light can be bright for some people, I consider it a non-issue- 2 DIMM slots already filled with 2x8GB- Doesn't come with SSD to start with, requires cloning to a new one- If you do any upgrades to the GPU you will need a new PSU- Cooling is weak- Good overclocking support isn't really a thing on thisRECOMMENDATION: (Note: This computer is 100% ready to go out of the box and runs fine, unless your a "pro gamer" this will do the trick without the recommendations.)- Get an 2.5in SSD or M2 drive and clone the drive you already have, it's worth it. Go with m2 NVMe if you can- Down the line if it's feeling a bit weak beef up memory speed and crossfire with another 580

Before I got this pc I was using a simple laptop. Played WoT on low... Played Civ 5 on medium... Played every single total war I have on low... Tried to play PlanetSide 2, it crashed on minimum.... Heroes and generals minimum. Then I got this desktop, an amazing machine! All games I just said I can play on ultra, no bad frame rate drops. The only complaint I have is noise spikes. Once in a while, it has noise spikes, but the PC is running fine. I like the open case, but that means I'm gonna need to clean the inside more often. Overall I highly recommend this pc.I do school on this PC as well, very good for browsing around and multitasking.Edit: played war thunder on highest settings, 100 - 120fps with no noise spikes.Edit - overheats a lot because the fan settings are set really low on automatic. If you want to play high-end games I suggest ordering three fans. Two to upgrade the stocks and one for the front mount. Also, manually boost the fan speed in the AMD Radeon settings. That's what I did and it stays at 58- 63C. It's been a month or two, still running quite well, just gotta get some new fans.How to change fan curve - go to AMD Radeon settings - gaming (top left) - global settings - global WattMan(top right) - scroll down to fan and temperature - slide the Speed/Temperature to manual - slide the pwm around to what you like.3/25/2020 edit - Assassin creed odyssey runs really well on high, have had no problems with it. It hasn't been slowing down on me. The pc is just really consistent and I'm loving it. I'll probably use this for another year or two.With some research, I have seen that I'll need to cut the chassis to swap out the power supply. I don't think I want to do any cutting. So my plan is to buy a better pc 2 years from now and practice upgrades with this one.Edit: still own the PC and use it normally. Still enjoying it a lot. I would not suggest getting this pc if you plan on adding higher power components.
