Alright, alright—no more yelling from me, I promise. haha
The reason it came with Windows 10 pre-installed is mostly because they run tests on the hardware before shipping it out—plus, I guess I was just feeling a bit lazy about it.
It’s an optical drive because my kid still gets those educational DVDs bundled with his schoolbooks.
I'm sure someone will chime in saying there's a better way to set things up, since I'm hardly a tech expert or anything, but I appreciate the feedback regardless.
He’s pretty much stuck on Fortnite right now, though I imagine he'll move on to something a bit more intense in a year or so.

Sure, the GPU is better, but you're looking at a weak power supply, no extra SSDove, no CPU cooler, no Windows 10 Home 64-bit, a lower-tier motherboard, and a budget case.
Everything comes with its own extra costs—plus shipping is already included in that price, which saves about $20.

Adam Moore3 said:$2667 man, just an RX580. You spent way too much on those SSDove while the GPU took a massive hit. You should've at least thrown in a 1660Ti, seriously. 🍿

I actually bought this for my son—I figured I might upgrade the graphics card later on.
