I never really thought about the noise until I saw the review option. I guess it isn't that loud or maybe i'm just used to the sound, so I probably wouldn't notice it. I'm on computers all day(except when at work). This computer does exactly what I need it to do. I get to play all of my games with the highest graphics settings. Though none of the PC games I play are recent games, so that isn't saying much. I got it to play all the free MMOs that I love, but are only available to Windows PCs. Pretty sure they could port them to console if they wanted to, but I don't see that happening. I may get a VR headset later to see how it works with this. It would be nice to see if No Man's Sky looks better than with PSVR. It would definitely be worth buying the game again and starting over if VR for No Man's Sky looks better. It starts fast as well, so that is another plus.
