Fun Building Experience
Runs great and we had fun building my son's computer. -
Pre-installed Thermal Paste
Great size and build with ease. CPU cooler comes with pre-installed thermal paste.
-
No Integrated Graphics
The series 5 5500 does not have built in graphics so you will need a separate video GPU. -
Not for Beginners
If you don't, you may want to just buy a pc already built. I had to do a few things to get it operational, bios update and graphics card. -
Compatibility Issues
The cpu that came with the bundle does not support integrated graphics which is why I ordered this bundle because the motherboard comes with integrated HDMI but it will not work with the CPU that came with the motherboard. -
Potential Reliability Problems
Went through 2 of these and I still have no running computer. -
Additional GPU Requirement
In short I also will have to get a GOP supported dedicated graphics card in the future if I want to install windows 11.
