Don't make the same mistake I did (Honest Review)!

First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this review!
I purchased this computer thinking that because of the 2TB Hard Drive size, and 16GB of RAM, that this machine would be very good at playing newer games at decent graphical settings, at reasonable frames. I was terribly wrong, and of course ignorant then. But now that i've had my hands on this computer for roughly around a year, I have a few things to say about it...
DO NOT buy this computer if you plan on playing multiple games or MMO's, at high graphical settings, and expecting 45-60 FPS (especially graphically intensive games). Because of the outdated GPU, and starter level CPU, this PC struggles at games like Warframe, Warface, Besiege, Tera, and occasionally Guild Wars 2.
I even considered upgrading the GPU on this PC, and that was an expensive struggle! What they do not tell you, is that this computer has a 350 watt Power Supply, which is VERY low for Gaming PC standards. If you'd want to install a GeForce GTX 980 on this PC, you'd have to buy AT LEAST a 500 watt Power Supply, and a new computer tower (the 980 is a huge Graphics Card, and would not fit in the PC I was given). You may even have to upgrade your motherboard! All that is well over $650! With that much money, you might as well buy a whole new computer!
With that being said, because of the minimal GPU, and CPU I would recommend this to people who are new to PC Gaming and doesn't plan on playing too many games, or playing MOBA's and other smaller games due to their minimal graphical requirements: Garrys Mod, Hearthstone, League of Legends, DOTA 2, Smite, etc.
In conclusion, if you just want a computer to play a few MOBA's or smaller games with your friends, I would say buy this PC. However I would recommend to anyone who plans on owning a Gaming Computer, to build your own! Doing so will gain you knowledge to your own computers strengths, and what it can and can not handle.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read this review! This was written to those of you who were seriously considering buying this computer, so that you would have a better understanding of what you were spending your money on.
P.S.: This PC is overpriced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does this come with a monitor?
No, this computer does not come with a Monitor. However it does come with a good Keyboard, and Mouse. Be careful with the mouse though! If your hands are greasy, or sweaty the mouse will no longer look as good as it did when you originally opened it from it's box.
