for the price its a really good tower . i have an asus gaming laptop and i paid almost 1k at 50% off at bestbuy back on 2015 and its where im writing this post right now. my asus laptop still worth more than 900 here on amazon. its a 4th gen asus but i prefer my tower, for a lot less money it runs much much better  and this hp intel quad i5 and 8 of ram its really good for that price the only thing i change was the graphic card and i prefer to play smite with the pc that runs much more smooth . the reason for no give 5 stars is because theres no hdmi port , no 3.0 usb port , no second power switch for protection at the back and a couple of lil stupid things i  look at it when im tryng to buy a pc. but like i said  its a awesome tower for that price. and kid if you looking for a cheap tower for start pc gaming this tower its a good one to take in mind cuz as i did just change the graphic card and if you want get a external hard drive. now the next thing i want to get for the tower is a lot of good games and trust me when playing . graphics allways on medium whe u go to play and its good. no problem of performance
