NOVATECH Phantom 2.0 - Prebuilt Gaming PC Desktop Computer - RX580 - Intel Xeon i7 3.5GHz - 16GB RAM - 512GB M.2 SSD, Win 11 Pro - Gaming Computer Tower - Pre Built PC Gameing - 1 Year Warranty

This is my first gaming computer after using consoles for most of my life. I ultimately decided on this Novatech build because of the price to performance ratio and the aesthetic. Here is my experience: UNBOXING: This PC was packaged extremely well. They used 3 boxes, thick foam around the pc, expanding foam inside the PC and a metal bracket to support the GPU. Needless to say, the computer came in perfect working order and condition. SETUP: Setup is simple. Make sure to remove the interior foam, plug in the power cable, turn on the switch, plug in the HDMI (make sure to plug into the GPU not the motherboard), plug in the included keyboard/mouse and you’re ready to go. Boots right up to Windows 11 setup screen. Clean install, no bloatware. Well done. CASE: This case looks extremely premium and well made. The attention to detail is fantastic. Wire management is perfect. The fans are really cool too with the infinity mirror effect. All the RBGs match with the CPU cooler. Glad that some companies care about the small things. PERFORMANCE: This PC definitely outperforms its price point. The Xeon CPU has 4 cores and 8 threads clocked in at 3.5Ghz is move that enough for any video game. I was also pleased to see DDR4 RAM, compared to DDR3 on some other machines at this price point. This handles all of my work tasks with each, but I’m glad there is space to easily upgrade to 32GB by adding another stick of RAM. PORTS: Has all the modern ports you’d need. USB 3.0, Ethernet, Audio, Mic, HDMI, DisplayPort. All work well. CONNECTIVITY: This PC came with a USB dongle that has the Wifi and Bluetooth antennas. The Wifi supports 2.4 and 5GHz networks and works well. However if your router is far away from your computer setup, id recommend buying a dongle with a bigger antenna, or just use the ethernet connection. Bluetooth works great. KEYBOARD/MOUSE: I was planning on purchasing a separate combo for my set up but I liked the ones that came with this computer so much that I kept them. The keyboard is very comfortable and has great RGB effects. The mouse closely resembles the Glorious mouse and is very light and good for gaming. SUPPORT: They are fantastic. They have a phone number that you can text. I tried it and they answer almost instantly and are extremely polite and helpful. OVERALL: Overall I am VERY pleased with this computer. You can tell that it is very well thought out and not just slapping random parts together. I think that it is by far the best value build out there, not to mention it looks amazing sitting on your desk. So if you are looking for a great pc for work and some casual gaming, I highly recommend this one.

Very well put together machine. It was packaged securely, and had excellent instructions (clear instructions), about how to properly unpack the material from inside the tower itself. It looks excellent, and everything works as it should. It runs much more quiet than my last PC with only 2 fans. Once in a great while it'll fire on all cylinders, and gets rowdy, but not often. The Intel Zeon chipset seems to work just fine. I know it's not a 13th Gen i5 or AMD5000 series, but I wouldn't know unless you told me. My previous PC actually had a 5th gen i7. I understand that is older, but I'm glad I didn't spend extra. For what we use it for mostly (web browsing, word processing), this does everything we need. As far as being called a beginner's gaming PC, I'd say don't let that fool you. After a few tweaks, I got this running most any games we wanted to play at minimum 70 to 200 fps. God of War was able to run at a stable 76 FPS. Now, I know that may not sound great by some higher end gaming computers, this looked great to me. As a console gamer at heart, I was very impressed. Boot up time is almost instant from a full power down. The SSD at only 500gb is small, but there is an additional port behind the motherboard for a second SSD, and it also has connectors on the front of the motherboard to add a HDD. You would need to purchase a cage to attach it to the rear of the computer, otherwise it's going to sit on the power supply, which I doubt would be good. Customer service is terrific. I had to ask them a few questions, and I had all of my answers within minutes via a chat from their website. Overall, I can't recommend this product enough. I'm sad to see that they don't have any more in stock. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone who wants something good and reliable.

I love it, it’s so fast and awesome the product is very entertaining there was no problems at all and I got to download all my stuff easily I love it !

Beware! I just bought this,brand new,just got it yesterday,and its graphics card is cooked! You cant just plug in the hdmi plug into the port,you have to have some dvi adapter to connect the hdmi to the pc. When i finally got the display to turn on,theres 2 huge glitch garble stripes going down the middle of the screen! When i contacted customer support,they said it was the UPS drivers fault,it must have gotten damaged in shipping. But the box and packing was really well done. I checked all internals and all seemed fine. Now i have to send it back to get it repaired? That means i have to find a box(i already threw out the other one it came in-foolish me),find bubble wrap,get the return label printed out and take a uber to a UPS to have them charge me money just to send it back?! This is ridiculous. I shouldn't have to go through all this,its brand new! It even came with a QC checklist,with someone signing off that all works right. Its crazy how the support kept saying it was UPS drivers fault,it might have been damaged in shipping,when it was not.The storage capacity sucks,only half a TB,and wireless internet? wireless internet on this thing is slow.no remote to even change the lights. there was no manual either. what a waste of $530 bucks. Cause theres no way in hail im going through all that trouble to return the whole machine. Heed my warning!buyer beware! I will come back to this review with a update,and if i cant fix this myself,ill post a link on here to my craigslist ad selling this boof! UPDATE 11-24-25: I tried different cables and adapters and its still the graphics card. I used a secondary display adapter to see if it was the graphics card issue and it was. the secondary display that is using its own videocard works fine. Which sucks because now i have to order a graphics card replacement($100) and fix it myself. When i do get the new card and install it,i will come back and update this review once i get the part in.
