This is my first gaming desktop pc, having an ASUS G60jx (gaming laptop) before. I know what to expect from a gaming rig, but this has beaten everything on my checklist. What checklist you ask? Well... read on youngin's.
I seriously researched different gaming desktops for over three months being torn between building and buying and finally getting impatient, (and a little lazy) I bought this. So happy I did. It is the same price as building the one I wanted spec wise with a 256gb ssd instead of a 128gb. Not to mention this was before buying windows on a USB. Speaking of Windows, it is at the lock screen from a cold start up in 4-5 seconds. (It's on the ssd)
Ok, so what did I need this desktop for anyway? I am an avid gamer on consoles and wanted to break into desktop gaming with the option of streaming to twitch.
What a machine! I7 7700 3.6ghz of processing handles all background/current use tasks easily using the 16gb ram and doing it quietly too. Only heavy gaming will raise the idle speed of the fans.
Graphics are ridiculous thanks to the nvidia GTX 1070 8gb card that has handled any game I've thrown at it. Not only that, but doing so while streaming. Side note: I use OBS to encode and broadcast my gameplay and I have it set to use the graphics card to encode almost all of it. CPU helps a little, but 90-95% of it is all graphics card.
Ok, so there is my performance requirements, what about extra perks or bells and whistles that come with this machine? Glad you asked.
It DOES come with a keyboard and mouse. The description was a little lacking besides saying keyboard under the specifics.
The mouse is a standard black two button with a scroll wheel. I had a Logitech g502 I ordered with the desktop so I can't tell you how it performs. It's wired.
The keyboard looks like a standard keyboard that's wired. It has non-concave keys though so that took some getting used to. (Still contemplating buying g910.) It is NOT backlit, so if you plan on playing or typing in low light, be forewarned.
It also has standard media keys like play/pause, stop, next, and last. Volume buttons with separate mute buttons as well.
The keyboard has launch keys for email, internet, and music I believe too. I don't use them so I can't be sure of the music one, but it definitely has the email and internet ones.

So is that it? No way!
The case is a slick looking grey with three strips of led backed semi transparent plastic. (On each side)
Fun fact: there is software to control the color of these and the front power button, (which is an Alienware logo!) I added an elgato game capture card, because I can't fully give up my consoles and still want to stream them, so I had to install it into the case. A really neat feature some users might never get to see is how it opens the side panel. It is a standard style latch you pull at the back of the tower, but then you don't have to disconnect any connections for those led strips. They use brass pins and plate contacts that don't have to be disconnected when taking off the panel. How cool right? You'll see it if you ever have to get in there. Speaking of being in the guts of the computer, it has a least one extra HDD bay that I can see with power already run. Another ssd down slot at the bottom by the first one installed with power ran as well.

Now that I'm thinking about perks, there is software for fan control as well so you can set presets for games that you know are heavy on the pc or rendering programs to get a jump start on cooling.
It says that I should put things I maybe don't like about the desktop in my review. If I had to choose things I didn't care for, I would say the cd drive is one. I don't use it, but it's a laptop style popout one. It kind of feels just a last minute thought. That's really all I can think of.

Look brand new when I received them. In original box with new ear cups. Loud enough when the ear cups are seated properly that I can't hear my motorcycle if they are turned up high enough. (You shouldn't ride with headphones that loud.) Bluetooth distance isn't great but your phone should be close in your pocket if you are using these for their intended purpose.

Enjoy a clear picture and high-quality graphics with this 23-inch Acer HD monitor. It lets you adjust the angle as needed, and it uses in-plane switching technology so you can see it clearly no matter what angle you choose. CrystalBrite technology helps this Acer HD monitor display superb contrast and color.
Does this unit have an anti-glare (matte) finish on the screens?
No it does not. It's a glossy screen which adds to sharpness and clarity but RIP to your eyes if you have fluorescent lights behind you. Glare galore.
