Just got this so I can't comment yet on long term reliability but my initial reactions are that it exceeds my expectations. I got the i5, 240GB SSD and 1660 video card.Keyboard/mouse: Pretty good with customizable buttons and LED lights on the mouse. Probably not the best for everyone but very good quality if you don't have another keyboard and mouse.Video card: Mine came with an MSI dual fan video card with one HDMI 2.0 and three display port outputs so more than enough for most people I would imagineRAM: A single stick of XPG Z1 DDR4 3000 MHz ram. Kinda sucks that they only sell these in two stick packs, so I won't be able to pick up a cheap single stick to upgrade to 16GB. I guess I can just use another brand stick to add or something, but I haven't found a reason to upgrade as of yet anywaysOverall look of the case is nice and it has a controller to change the LED light settings and colors. I set mine on orange and it looks nice. The system is not as quiet as my old Lenovo, but it is pretty quiet actually.  Cable management is very nice and neat; you only see a few cables though the glass window.One important note; make sure you install the two wifi antennas in the accessory package. I was about to give a 3 star review when I saw how bad the wifi signal was until I realized that I'm stupid and there are two antennas to install on the motherboard. Works much better than my old wifi now; full bars in the basement and my router is upstairs.No intrusive weird bloatware on this system and everything started up and updated without any effort. Up and running in 10 minutes.I'm sure you could build something at around the same price point or even cheaper, but I purchased this system for $700 and it was no fuss, works out of box so it's worth it to me. I can't imagine you would come in much cheaper building from scratch if you wanted the mouse and keyboard and windows license.This system is quality parts and super fast so far. I haven't found anything negative to say about it and hopefully it continues that way.
