So I bought this as my first PC since i am always on a budget, and i usually only play esports titles and use software that isnt demanding for low end pcs. Ive had it for just about a month now and this has been my experience so far: The specs on this PC fully matched the product description on Amazon. Core I7-6700 cpu and GTX-1050ti gpu, old hardware sure, but more than good enough to play esports titles, older triple A Games, and even some newer games on low settings. I am able to consistently get 120+fps in both Overwatch2 and Valorant on low settings with no stutters and very minimal frame drops. (Even with apps running in the background like Discord, Spotify, and OBS.) It can even run The Witcher 3 on high settings at 60+fps which i was very impressed by. When it comes to video rendering and digital art, I was able to use DaVinci Resolve and Krita very easily with very little buffering or visual stuttering, rendering HD videos and even 4k footage at a reasonable pace. However some more demanding effects and filters WILL cause the hardware to show its age, but thats to be expected. So far, even with one single exhaust fan and a tiny cpu cooler, Ive ran into no over heating at all, even when pushing the limits of the hardware. Which again, i was kinda surprised at. The peripherals that come with the PC however, are the only disappointment, but since you’re basically getting them for free, you cant really complain. M+K are both STG Aubron brand peripherals that are more than serviceable for anything that isn’t competitive fps games. However if you play esports games, you’re gonna wanna upgrade these asap lol. Overall, i am more than impressed with this PC and the refurbishing team at Amazon. I couldnt find better value for this price point anywhere else, and im glad i settled on this one. If you see one of these refurbished Optiplex-style PCs on Amazon with specs that match your needs, and you dont mind that it looks likes the PC your grandparents still use, I say go for it. Undeniably great Value.
