Sorry about how bright it was on the set that day. But I find it hard with very black PC's to shoot them well so you can see every thing. I should have used my direct spotlight on the PC that day!
I just bought this PC from best buy for $900. I'm in love with it, and hearing you talk about how upgradable it is makes me so happy. My old PC this one is replacing was a Dell gaming PC and there was basically nothing I could've done for upgrades.
This is why I've never had a Dell on the channel 😐. Hahaha
This thing is on sale right now at Costco and your video was all the encouragement I needed to get it! Thanks man!
Any time. Also more videos to come with upgrading it.
Thanks for the comment
This is exactly why I'm watching this video too. I'm going to pick this up today!
Thanks you for making this! I will buy the version with AMD ryzen 5 5600g, a rtx 3060 and 2x 8 gigabyte ram
How is that holding up for u. I was thinking about buying it
Any time!
@@SVTrey I love it.
How much did you buy it for? By me they have it for 599 but idk if that price is worth ut
@@kevinperez5170 where I wanted to buy it it sold out and wouldn't restock for another 6 months so I went with another one. But I think it would have been about €600.

This is a really great video. I'm just getting started in all this. Bought a legion tower a while ago. Your series of videos have been perfect. Thank you!
Thanks for this video very informative , I just bought this at micro center in nyc and it’s performance is amazing
Cool!
Thanks for this video. I got this pc for Christmas in 2021! I plan to upgrade it soon with a Ryzen 5 and rtx 3070 (maybe 3060) and Corsair vengeance ram.
Well be a nice PC!
Under a $1000, that’s a awesome gaming pc for the bucks.
Yes Sir, If covid was not around this would be a 600-800$ Pc
@@TNW1337 the way it’s looking my 2.3k dollars spent on series x and ps5 with a Lg oled ( besides gaming is used for movies and shows 👌) was a way better investment nowadays in one I get ps5 exclusives which look better than any pc games .. Xbox plays most games at 1440p 120fps no problem no lag .. and graphic fidelity for both on the LG is amazing .. buying a gaming pc is looking grim and not too smart
@@fabolousjada5070 Yes stupid vid is making console looking a lot better. If all you do is game. RDNA 2 Consoles Rock. also they run 16GB of NvRam for the GPU.
I bought one of these lenovo computers but with the following specs: Ryzen7 5800, 16gb 3200mhz single channel Ram and the goodness RTX 3060 with 12gb of gddr6! It goes pretty good with the recent games! Nice video!
Awesome Computer!
Same but I got the RTX3060TI, definitely worth the extra cash!
@@dawizard238 Nice as well and the 3060TI is a little bit better than my 3060! Have a good new year!
I m thinking of having a i5 11400f rtx 3060ti one is it hoid how much fps will i be getting on titles such read dead 2 or cyberpunk 77 ? You know the new stuff
Thanks so much for this video. I bought this exact same PC from Best Buy about 1 1/2 years ago, just when the GPU shortage was beginning to recover. I am definitely NOT a gamer. I wanted a PC that could handle heavy-load video editing reasonably fast, as well as a PC that had the best options for 4K UHD HDR displaying and rendering. After purchasing, and returning the very same day, 3 other pc from Best Buy (the salespeople either lied or had no idea what I was looking for in a PC), I researched onlinecompulsively for about 6 months. When I saw this PC at Best Buy (about $1100 at the time), it pretty much had everything I was looking for. I immediately upgraded to 32 GB of RAM. Because of the motherboard, it is impossible to get the full speed out of the RAM, but it is negligeable. All of my video editing runs smoothly, even the most complex video editing renders in good time. It's hard to find any GPUs that have multiple HDMI ports (this PC has only one) for multiple displays, but I use a Displayport to HDMI adapter and, problem solved. As far as the audio is concerned, I use an external USB DAC to a headphone amp, or to my integrated stereo amp, and the sound is immensely improved! I had no idea that an external DAC could make such a magnificent improvement in sound quality. Having said all that, I needed a laptop and about a year ago (October 2021), I bought the Lenovo laptop version of this PC. Another excellent choice. I subscribed to this channel because I was very impressed by how so many of the questions were personally answered. Great job. Thanks for this great channel!
Wow! I am glad You finally found what you were looking for. Thanks for the Sub!
I have the ryzen version of this one. Mine comes With the ryzen 7 5800 16gb of ram , 500 ssd and 1tb hdd with the 1660 super, I love it.
I want to upgrade the video card and power supply down the road.
Yeah the nice thing is you can and your free to pretty use tax parts.
I got the same rig as you, runs great! Going to get 2 more fans on top for exhaust.
@@joemartinez7913 It is awesome.
Thank you for the video, ordered the 3060 from the link. Subscribed 👍🏽
Thanks for the sub!
I own this EXCEPT I got a great deal during prime day and mines got an i7 11700f and a 3060 w 32 gb of ram! I'm very new to PCs but have been doing some research and consulted with some of my boys that are into PCs and know their stuff. They advised me that it would be a good PC to buy and I've been very happy with it since I got it. It also has a fan or cooling system towards the middle of the case but more toward the back than ACTUAL middle. I spent $1100 was originally like $1600 without prime account and prime day discounts (not including monitor and peripherals but just for the PC itself) my boys said the same thing you said and that Lenovo had done great with thinking out this pre-built. So glad I went with this instead of something else a friend recommended after seeing all the positive reviews of it even if it isn't my version. I've also heard nothing but good things about the case aswell.
Just got one of these with 2x8 GB ram and a i5-11500 for $600 at Costco couldn't say no to that one!
Wow that is a deal
I just got this machine from Costco last week on sale for $849 (USD). Excellent computer so far!
Cool! And yes it is.
Just found this OC at Costco with dual channel 16, glad to find this video backing up my decision to buy! Seems so well built and thought out for the money. May not be the best or most up to date graphics card but will do everything I need it to do, and as you said, everything can be upgraded. Speaking of, you mentioned the first thing you would change out would be the processor fan and heat sink… any suggestions for what would work best in this case and on this build? Thanks for the great content!
Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 just make sure if you have amd or intel it says it will work with it. some times they only sell Amd versions. Make sure if it is intel it is FCLGA1200 or LGA 1200. AMD is AM4.
@@jimmyd4409 YOu have to change it in the sub menu on the software it is kind a wonky.
Also the SSD is 512gb, and the hard drive is WD blue instead of a Seagate, which I've seen in the units from Best Buy. I hate Seagate with a fiery passion, as every drive I have owned (3 if memory serves, they came in wiped reman'd machines) has failed in the warranty period, and each was replaced with a "renewed" drive that also failed. If you act fast you can scoop up 2 more of the identical ram chips for 70-80 bucks new on fleabay, which I just did for future proofing and video editing.
Just bought mine for $150 off. Starter Desktop.
I just bought the one with rtx 3060
Thank god bro I bought one several months back ,since the. I’ve upgraded to 32 gigs of Ram,planning on doing more soon
Yes I love this pc, it's better then ibuypower and abc. Had to rma abc 3 times and I sent the ibuypower back twice now. We are giving up on I buy power. And moving on to a different brand.
Both ibuypowers where doa. No damage to shipping box. So means they are not testing there PC before they send them.
Thanks for this review !
Thanks for the comment!
Got the model with the Nvidia GTX 3060 from Micro Center for just over $800. They are gone now. Ran Spider-Man Remastered on ultra settings and ray tracing effects. Everything runs smooth as glass no matter what games I play on max settings.
The cooling fans are better than the MSI I was considering for $200 more with slightly better hardware but doesn’t cool down anywhere near this desktop in comparison.
Really missed having a desktop after having a couple laptops for the last 17 years. I always wanted a gaming rig and this one is great.
I love laptops but just not for gaming. they get way to hot. Desktops are the best way to go as these parts need more and more wattage = More heat!
At least somebody makes a standardized pre-built.
I know. So much better then the others not that hp are bad just not good.
Just got a Lenovo legion tower with a 1660 super and an i5 11500 for $550 on facebook marketplace and I’m loving it so far
Wow that's a awesome deal!
An actual steal
what’s the difference cause mine came with the gtx 1660 super an ryzen 7 5700g?
Bro you answered all my questions Ty!
240mm radiator support
Gpu length support up to 12 inches
I was crossing my fingers that my 3 fan RTX 2070 (11 inches) would fit !!
I got the variant with
i7 12700
Rtx 3060 (swapping this out for my 3 fan rtx 2070)
16gb ram DDR5
For $999 !!
Btw Subbed!
Thanks!!!
I have been unsure of what PC/laptop to get and I am currently looking at the Ryzen 7 5700G RTX 3060 version of this at Best Buy. This would be my first actual PC and I am leaning towards this model. I’ve been looking for videos on the tower 5 so thanks for the video!
The 3060 Version is even better then this one. It is well worth it. Only problem with laptops is heat, And the desktop can be upgraded down the road. So cons and pros for both. laptops are portable. But this is a small pc, you could make it portable to.
How much are you seeing it for?
I got a 3060 ti + 3600 version for 1199 after tax with a bunch of Black Friday codes and student discounts! Going to swap in my 5800x and Z63 and sell the 3600 but this is definitely a solid PC!

Your welcome.
This is at Costco right now for $850. I bought a Dell 8940 with the same specs for $650 few months back. This looks better since it isnt OEM proprieatary parts but youre paying alot more so idk if it really is better.

I was doing some research and ran into this video. I am going to be building a system that is almost the same as this. Core i5 11500 on MSI B560M pro in an Antec NX410 case. 32GB 3200 RAM , 600w power, 120mm cpu cooler and a couple ssd drives (boot sata 240gb data 1TB m.2). I don't get into heavy games but I do some video editing. I might have to get a GTX 1660, I heard it should work pretty good. I was glad to see a system that is almost the same that works, that is very helpful.
I MADE A GOOD CHOICE. MY FIRST GAMING PC. THANKS
Any time!
My apps aren’t working for some reason. Games, google, not even settings is opening. Do you know how to fix it? Please let me know
Do take note, the backplate for the cooler mount on the motherboard is proprietary and removing it can be a little troublesome as it is stuck on with double sided tape. Great review otherwise!
Yes that is pretty common, but thanks for the info!
Yes I had a blast removing it. Took me about 5mins with a plastic pry bar uhg.
I have the AMD version (Ryzen 5 3600) of this tower (Legion T5 26AMR5) and experienced the same thing when installing a Noctua cooler (NH-U12S chromax.Black) - I had to remove the proprietary backplate with a hairdryer and very patient, gradual pressure from plastic prybars - a Reddit user who came before me with the same model tower reported breaking their motherboard removing it. Also of note: I had to use the Intel mounting hardware to get the Noctua mounted and had to add adhesive foam on the backplate to allow the Noctua backplate to apply proper pressure contact on the back of the motherboard. Kind of a pain. If I had purchased the less expensive AMD only version of the NH-U12S I would not have been able to install it. My one other negative on this tower is the low quality thermal management on the 1660 Super - it is 1 step up from what dell did (see Gamers Nexus video on that near-identical 1660 super: ruclips.net/video/HFaJZq13tr8/видео.html) - he mentions GDDR chips at the corner are covered by solid heatsink (without contact) and gets no airflow, Lenovo's 1660 Super *does* have a thermal pad bridging at least 1 GDDR chip to the HSF (the one most occluded) I am typing this using the computer in question and tried to inspect the other corner chip with a flashlight and dental mirror, but can't be absolutely sure. I can tell that there are several GDDR chips I can see without thermal pads (the ones that do have some airflow through the HSF fins).
Overall, given I got it on eBay for just under ~$500 shipped, I am still quite happy with it. Mostly putting out this information to help others who might be looking at this tower so they know what the issues are.
@@TNW1337 heat? 🤦
I’m thinking about buying this. But you said I should upgrade the storage on it. How much storage should I need to buy? Great video!
Gaming I would say 3-4TB SSD if you can afford it.
Definitely a nice prebuilt. But with the current gpu situation, I’d spend a couple hundred more for a prebuilt i-7 or ryzen 7 with a 3060…
true

If don’t mind me asking this really noob question, I recently got the same desktop, but no audio is coming out. Is this because it needs speakers or does it come with audio output? Thanks!
It would need speaker if your moitor did not come with them. Most PC monitors do not.

Legion 5i Tower Gen 7 with RTX 3060 on their website on sale for $1099 with 3060 card!!! -- BUT>>> reviewers are saying that the front fans AND CPU cooler are NO LONGER INCLUDED. I confirmed that with their sales rep online chat -- (still shown in product photos and even the rep said "yes, could be misleading")... lol, ya think? But even then, easy fix and still a great deal.
Agree, it looks like all sort of stuff is going in and out of stock it? Like cat food, Grass feed beef & some other things. I Know this is not tech, it is just funny how some of the oddest stuff is not available or in stock. I do not think they are try to pull a fast one.
Great video. Thanks for the insight. Regarding the PSU, will the be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 750W ATX 3.0 Power Supply work on this PC?? Also, if I want to change the Intel i5 to Intel i7, will I be able to do that and up to what Intel i7 can I go to??
Thanks for the info man ! My first pc ! So I ordered the 16 gb kit is it okay to install both and keep the one that comes with the pc ? Does it affect anything ?
Yes you can! it may effect speed or size. Like slow you down. but ideally you want to stick to a even amount of sticks of ram.

Not a bad idea. PSU is not bad I like FPS Psu, they mainly only make server psu now.
Nice video, but you can suggest a good cooling upgrade for me?
CPU, I would say the Noctua AMD or Intel? Or a good AIO Cool-master makes a cheap but good one.
I was gonna buy this PC but I decided to order the HP Omen 25L RX Geforce 2060 1TB HDD and 512GB SSD 16GB Ram Intel core I7
Nice!
Could I add 16gb of completely different new ram, they'll still be 3200mhz and ddr4, but will stuff like the UDIMM or DIMM or volts have to be matching with the motherboard/ram slots?
It best to gr the best speed. But if it runs at the slower speed. It is only like 5-15fps at most this if you had a i9 and a 3070. So it's more 5-7fps
Have you tried to install a new cooler yet? I heard that the mounting bracket on the back of the board is glued on, so I'm trying to find a good cooler that can use the existing bracket. For reference, I've got the same pc but it has an i5-11500F. Any help would be much appreciated.
Yes it is and it does need to be removed. If you doing it on a the cheap Coolmaster 240mm Aio is the best you can get next to a noctua air cooler
What's a good cpu cooler I can use that will fit this computer. I got this computer a month ago and it works beautifully. Plays all games. I just put two 8GB ram sticks off Amazon. Corsair vengeance for 90$
Aios will work, Like a cool master 240MM. it also looks like 280mm will fit but I have not tested it. Pretty much Any thing that will fit a Intel LGA 1200 socket, and any 240mm Will work. The rad can mount up top. That would be the best

Hey, you already commented on my first comment but I have another question if you happen to see this. My question would be what SSDs are compatible with this motherboard? 256gb is not enough at all. I'm a pc noob thanks for your time (I'm referring to the 5i w/i511400 + 1660 super)
Pretty much any ssd will work. I like Samsung if you willing to pay. but my cheap option is PNY and Crucial
Then you just use a software to clone the drive.
@@TNW1337 I'll probably go with Samsung then, I'm looking to upgrade this PC with quality stuff, even if it takes me a little longer to be able to afford it. Would recommend a first timer to the install or should I have someone do it?
Do you have a website that I can check to see which RGB parts are compatible with this machine? I want to make upgrades to it, especially after watching your videos.
I just bought a Legion 5T for my son. The wireless Mediatek card is terrible. What would you suggest buying instead? Can you show how to change it? It will break the warranty though.
Thanks.
Not bad but why only 1stick of memory ? Surely Lenovo knows the difference ! . Thanks interesting to see what available in other countries. I ended up going for (June2021) a HP PAVILION GAMING TG01-2420NO as a starter pc for my daughter , (10000 Nok roughly $1100 USD) . Mainly for the RTX 3060 , as graphic cards were impossible to get then.
Yes they where. Getting better now with the LHR cards. The tg is still an awesome pc. I just hope hp take note. Because if others jump on this bandwagon no one will buy the the PC that can only be 65% upgradable.
I known, I think they do it to drop the price, What do you think? I found this on sale for 899. Should I buy this or a TG01?

Both this and rog strix are both 750 at micro center this black friday albeit the rog having a 3060 and the t5 having 3050. Although this would be an easy choice, I heard the rog strix has horribly air flowing so which would be better?
Legion hands down. I love Asus but better air flow.
Between these two, which would give me the most value for my money right now? The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 i5-11500, 16GB, Geforce GTX 1660 Super-Windows 11 512SSD, I TB Hard drive for $999.99 or The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 AMD Ryzen 7-5700G, 16GB, Geforce 1660 Super, 256 GB SSD, 1TB HDD for $1,299.99? Any help/advice would be appreciated. I have spent the last few days watching videos and googling this stuff...
Ryzen 7 is a better Cpu, The other one is cheaper. Both good for gaming & apps. Both have dual channel ram. I'd take the Ryzen one.
@@TNW1337 Thank you so much! This helps a lot. I'm a mom shopping for her 15 yr old and the more I learn, the more I'm lost. Lol. Will this computer also be good for art-related programs?
@@co5360 Yes it will, It will do good for gaming and Video or Photo editing. This would be a great starter PC And down the Road he can upgrade it for more performance. If he wishes there is room for it. If you or your son need more help, just drop a comment. I am always around to give a helping hand. Good Luck and I know he will love it!
quick question about the legion tower i know this is probably a stupid question but i recently bought a legion tower 5 PC with a 3060 and an amd ryzen 7 5700g
am i able to switch out the graphics card with lets say a 3070 for example and does it have to be like a GPU specific to only to lenovo or can it be any brand?
Well they only come with a 400w PSU. So you would want to upgrade that, that being said going to a 650 or 700w. Then you could do a RTX 3090 if you wanted to. the 400w is maxed out at the 3060ti.
Do you think I can add a Elgato capture card? Like the HD60 pro or the 4K60?? Thanks in advance! :D
Yes
What would be a good decent cooler upgrade?
Any thing better then the stick one just make sure it is intel 1200. If that the CPU u have. If amd make sure it is compatible with am4
I am so confused on this, I can't find a clear answer can you just give me a ram upgrade (Either completely new ram set of 16gb) or another 8gb to make this PC have 16gb
The legion uses 1.2v ram I would get a new kit if you or a pair.
@@TNW1337 Would a completely new kit of different voltage work?
Would I be able to fit a GIGABYTE Gaming OC GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 ATX Video Card, LHR GV-N3070GAMING OC-8GD G20-R with only a 400 watt motherboard? I have the ryzen 5 5600g version
hey technitwit this is extremely important but u made a video a while back on upgrading a 2060 with a 400w psu, I wanted to know if this is safe
It is, the psu can handle the gpu.
2060 super.
@@TNW1337 thanks bro goated channel and W life
@@estebanrocha2590 thanks 👍
@@estebanrocha2590 👍
how big are the case fans
Do u think if I upgrade the ram to 32 gb ram, this would be good for gaming, streaming, and mainly video editing ?
32GB is a good start. 64GB would be best. but you could get by with 32GB
I bought two of these pc's. One thing to watch out for is on some of the older ones the lower intake fan is installed backwards from factory and missing screws. Both of my pc's lower fans were backwards and one pc only had one fan screw in the bottom fan. Other than that they are great. Those fans are actually very powerful. I upgraded the psu on one and put a 2070 in it. Later I took one apart and used the parts to build 4 gpu mining rig and then gave the other one to my nephew.
Yeah I love these little computers
I was om the fence about getting the current HP OMEN GL30 with a 6600xt and 16gb ram for 1149 on best buy and the current Lenovo 5I for 999 on best buy. I think I'll get the Lenovo for the upgradability being easier over the HP, even tho the HP has more ram out of the box. Would you say I'm making the right choice? I'm using it for gaming and music, fully intent on upgrading RAM
Legion Hands down. Just the ability to upgrade to Any GPU and 128Gb of ram
@@TNW1337 I got the Lenovo 5I with the GTX 1660 Super, and I just got it set up a few hours ago. So far I only got the 7 Days To Die files sorted out and I loaded my world up and messed around a bit. It's performing very well for my needs. Very pleased so far with my first gaming pc. I got 16gb of ram that I installed after making sure the pc boots up. Thanks for the content it helped me decide!
*edit to add*
Forgot to mention I purchased the ram based on your suggestions in the description so extra thanks for taking the time for doing that! Really appreciate you listing what's compatible with the system and where to get it.
Can you make a video installing a liquid cooler inside the PC?
Yes it is a planed video.
Hi! I got this pc in december 2022 and i am looking to upgrade to 4080-4090, could you make a video just on how to remove the 3060 or is it just the same as your 1660?
might be a stupid question, but is the GPU upgradable? could i put in like a 3060 (i would have to probably change some other parts though)
Psu if you do not have a 400 or 500 watts
Do you have to do anything at all to install a game using hdd if you've used all your ssd space? is there some switching to hdd process?
Well if you have the HDD or SSD, installed it depending on the program, but yes you will need to add a directory or file on the new drive. Then point like Steam or Epic at it. Like steam will allow you to have many drives with areas you can save games to. others not so much. Only allows one drive to be pointed at.
if it was old school you have a DVD Rom or CD Rom for the install media you would be able to just point it at the different location, at the begin of the install.
But because most stuff is Cloud based Now, like steam and other, you need to point that program/game at the new drive or file you want it to save to. (this file would be on the new disk)
What I would do is look up the program that is ruining the game or software, like origin Then go on youtube and type, how do I change where my games are saved or how to change where my game driectory is save for (Software Name). and you should find a video of some one walking you through it. Steam, Origin Epic Game, UB Soft, Blizzard, Activison & others are like this.
Hope this helps. 👍😁
Also a FYI most but not all saved games are in users data, Just to be safe I would look it up on how to back up saved games. if it applies to you this mostly only applies to single player games.
Bought a lenovo legion tower with an i7 11700f, rtx 3070 and a b560 motherboard, do these motherboards from lenovo fit with any other tower cases? I wanna transfer to an corsair 4000d airflow.
They are ATX so as long as it is one that does not have connector on the front of the PC. About 99% of the lenovo gaming pc mobo are just normal boards.
Hey NitWit, is it possible to upgrade this with a multigig NIC? Is there a PCI-E that's easily accessible? Thanks!
Just saw this one, with an i5 11500 & 16GB RAM at Costco, for $899...
worth it.
Technitwit, I have a question on what type of motherboard this pc has because I want to upgrade my pc which is the same as this. If you can, please respond.
Normally you wouldnt pull it out of the box like this... I did
🤷♂️😊
Would I be good with just putting 16gb ram? Just the 2 cards or 1 of 16gb
You want dual channel. 2x
Can you upgrade the processor to an i9?! On this pc? Please answer I’m in trouble
Whats the problem.
I'm having trouble removing the black side panel off I can get the clear one off just fine but the black side panel is being stubborn any info on why
They are captive screws, some times the threads get buggered up. take a vice grips or a adjustable pliers and lock on and pull and twist to the left. If I was you, I would look on amazon for some PC case thumb screws and replace it. hopefully a new one will fix the threads. if not you may need to RMA it to lenovo.
@@TNW1337 I ended up getting it off by pulling the top and bottom where the screws were instead of the middle because the bottom was jammed in there for some reason
The quest is the best cpu fan is good for this prebuilt
Noctua u9 I will have a video out soon and you can also do a aio 240mm
I bought it under your responsibility😀
:) I love this PC. For a pre-built it is one of my favorites
Should i go for this or a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with 3060 gtx?
There laptop are nice
Mine came with the i7 11700 what’s your thoughts on that cpu?
Hey, I'm going to buy a version of this PC and I just want to know how well I can play a game like Apex Legends with a pc like this?
Apex you will get around 80-100 maybe 70-80 avg 1080 ultra if you lower you're setting a bit more like 80-100. 2k on medium 50-60 avg. It is playable
@@TNW1337 Thank you, I am only trying to play Ultra at a capped FPS of 60 so I think that this PC would fit my needs
Hey technitwit do you know a way on how to take the backplate off without breaking the motherboard?
Yes Heat, and the plastic pry bars from I fix it. heta gun set to 300-400F only do it for sort amount of time. You can use a just the pry bars
Hi, i may bought one (Intel Core i5-11400F, 3060 rtx) is it also a good one ? And i saw people complaining about nvidia drivers, the update on the lenovo site wich seems to work but are little out of date can allow to play some ‘’late game’’, the pc here is almost the same can you tell me your experience with this one ? I’m a bit frustrated for that… thank you.
It is WIn11 ? if it is, it is not the PC that is not compatible, it is windows 11 not being compatible with some game's.
@@TNW1337 Hi, thank you for the answer, so with windows 10, you had any issues with the nvidia drivers ? I also think that W11 will not give me a hard time with the steam's games, i don't play vr games so it may not concern me, so i'll maybe stay with this version but if i want to downgrade to W10 will i need to put something on a usb key or i just don’t care like it's a new pc and i don't have anything to save ? Sorry to bother you with that and thank you for taking the time to answer me :/.
400wt power supply seriously???? Why do all these pre builts never come with a decent power supply.
Its do to cost. And what card will fit. They budget the psu so it can support the cards. People see what Nvidia or amd says should be used and it is a suggestion for the avrage consumers.
Now I do wish they put like a 700watt in because that would support the top end gpus. Even if they do not fit size wise.
If I upgrade to 16gb of ram, will I need to upgrade anything else to balance it?
Nope
Does it include at least one HDMI port? Because I think my monitor needs HDMI
yes
Wow I hope hp does take not, shouldn't buy this or a hp?
This! Depends on what is in stock but this over a HP.
Just bought this with an i5 11500 and 1660 super with 16 gb of ram, Costco was running a deal for just $850 and I wanted my first real gaming computer that had the potential/ability to upgrade once parts got cheaper, the rig is great for 1080 gaming, gets a little less optimal for 1440p gaming but can do it with medium graphics on most games at about 40-60 FPS consistently
Awesome
Thanks for the Comment! How you enjoy your PC.
@@TNW1337 it has been phenomenal, I plan on upgrading the psu and graphics cards when they eventually go down, luckily the 1660 super is still a very competent card at running 99% of games, granted at 1080p but I’ve noticed that weaker PCs are much more expensive than the price point I bought at
@@vvvprince9487 Agree It is a pretty nice PC.
@@vvvprince9487 hey have you upgraded your SSD yet? If so what product did you get? I think we have the same specs, although I had to get the extra 8gb of ram myself
If I want to swap the i5 to an i7, what i7 do I need to use, and upon installing, do I have to go into BIOS and change anything?
