This is the second PowerPC I've bought since the last one 7 years ago. The first would still be around many more years I'm sure, if it wasn't for my user error.Some HistoryI bought an EVGA 1070 a few weeks ago to up the graphics quality in the VR games I've been playing over the last almost three years with an EVGA 970. It was a night and day the difference as you can imagine, but wanted to try my hand overclocking it for a few more precious frames. In doing so I ended up cooking the processor and motherboad, couldn't leave well enough alone. My bad PowerPC, may she rest in peace.Decision TimeSo I to made make the decision to either replace parts and hope all would go well with the repair. As I was looking, a lot advancements have happened in that 7 years, cpu's, coolers, motherboards, ram, and stylish cases. It was all starting to add up very fast to lots of money and hard work that I was going to be putting into this. Also, hoping I wouldn't have any problems/debugging along the way, contacting a half a dozen customer service departments, YouTube videos, and boards for questions/answers. I had been without a computer for a week now after exhustively taking the whole thing apart to narrow down the problem, making sure I tried everything. I had enough, just wanted to be up and running again!Jackpot!Looking around Amazon (as I usually do ;), I found this jewel! Decent specs with lots of great reviews, roomy with huge upgrade potential. It was love at first site, a no brainer, a steal! I threw down my credit card immediately and it arrived in just a couple days. Unboxed with no damage and set it in on the first available clear surface, added a monitor, the included gaming keyboard/mouse and booted the baby up, red lights a blazing! Needed to update Windows, no ethernet cable long enough to reach, but the included high speed WiFi usb stick, press of a button on the router autoconnects, done! I never thought I would get much use of that WiFi stick, but still using it after a week, some little lag sure, but I can deal. Now to scratch that gaming itch with the AMD RX 580 in virtual reality and see if this was really VR ready as advertised out of the box. Yep! Worked better than my previous computer with the EVGA 970, no real surprise though with all the upgraded components. Works as advertised!The Best gets Better - Upgrades!After awhile getting my fill and stress testing for a day, now it was time for the upgrades to an already sweet rig. In goes the EVGA 1070 for another round of testing for the power suppy, wasn't sure there was going to be enough juice. No problems there with plenty and enough to spare. Once I uninstalled AMD drivers, ran the VRMark bechmark again, noticeable performence boost. Now at 9,025 and 196.75 FPS in VRMark Orange Room, that's after the next upgrade though. Opened up the back, plugged up the SSD, cloned the 1TB to a Samsung 500SSD, that was super quick, but after all, it was just Windows, SteamVR and a few VR games at that point. Rebooted and press F11 to choose boot disk, lighting fast load to Windows! Opened 'Computer Management' deleted everything off HHD, I'll use it for mass storage. Now to add the other SSD with my entire 2 year collection Steam/VR game library, a plug here and a plug there, done. One 500SSD for Windows/Programs, the 2nd 500SSD for games, the 1TB HHD for music, photo's, video's, etc. Whew!Future UpgradesNext will be more dual channel RAM for sure, never had more than 8, so looking forward to 16 and maybe 24 or even 32! It does get warm in there alright, but it's a beast, so a beefy CPU cooler might help ease concerns. BTW the front face pops right off to dramatically improve airflow, takes a few seconds to pop and to pop back on. By 8 degrees just at just idle, and at full load, the case doesn't feel as warm compared to it on, free DIY upgrade! Maybe some blue LED light strips for the inside, saw someones pics with those, I think it helps balance with all that red and illuminates the dark areas. Can't think of anything else besides those. Kinda glad all these upgrades weren't included in the first place or else the price would have been out of my range. Besides, I had half of them already, it will allow me and others to upgrade as finances and needs allow.Conclusion- Previous PowerPC 7 years ago cost $1,200. Today blowing it away at $699 and VR game ready.- No brainer setup opposed to buying parts, assembly and cost.- No need to squeze extra frames through over clocking. Be careful though!- Completely able to upgrade GPU, RAM, CPU and SSD, with an able PSU for a GTX 1070.- A case with style and modern design. Wisper quiet even with all fans max.- Bonuses are WiFi stick, gaming keyboard/mouse/headphones w/mic/antivirus, Assassins Creed Odyssey.It's been a couple of weeks now and it's all been super smooth. Not enough for yah after awhile, plenty of ways to make it to your liking as you see fit. Enjoy!PS: This is my first review on Amazon after almost a decade of buying products. If your on a budget and want the best you can buy, this is it!
