I've been using it for Sim Racing and paired up a Samsung 49" G9 super ultra wide monitor. I've been getting about 110 fps on mid-graphics, but iRacing tends to be more CPU-heavy than GPU-heavy. For my usage, I've been extremely happy. It's performing right where I want it to be and I don't feel like I bought something that was overkill.
I've yet to see anyone post anything that's better or for that matter, even build a better PC with a legit copy of windows that is cheaper.

Havent beat bg3 yet) and since then this is the one I'd pick up if I was in the market now.
Only thing is the LED fan lights started to change on their own (probably something with changing current in my power since they are sensitive), so I disconnected the LEDs. There's a connection for each fan LED, so you'll disconnect 4 if needed. I found the fan LED lights to be distracting anyways.

We got this a few weeks ago and my son says it has been great. Quiet and plays all the games he likes. One thing I have noticed is that when it goes into sleep/power off mode the power button flashes blue and is very bright. When I go in his room to wake him up in the morning it is noticeable. Mentioning in case someone will have it in their bedroom and is a light sleeper.
