GGPC RTX 3060 Gaming PC

Picked one up from the downtown store just before holiday and it has been great, this will be my work PC too now. It's my first with watercooling and it's very quiet. Small case size is really very nice. No bloatware at all. PB staff at Queen street store were great help getting me a new 4K monitor at same time, excellent experience.

Looks sleek, small form factor and can push most games med/high -> 2k resolution.
Only issue (kind of expected with a smaller form factor) is the front glass panel adds little to the aesthetic, and reduces air flow. It gets quite hot - taking it off helps the machine cool and increases performance. Wouldn't mind if each panel was of a similar design to the slide mesh panels - would still look good and increase air flow.

I think for international students, if you like gaming, this computer would be a good choice as it is small enough and has wifi and Bluetooth support to take on a plane in your carry-on luggage. The computer has enough various configurations to handle most of the current games.
Also, personally, I wouldn't mind spending some more money to upgrade the graphics card to a 3060ti or higher option, as well as I would like a larger hard drive (1T) but the salesman didn't seem to inform me if I could upgrade these hardware.
Overall, as my first desktop PC of my own, I think this is a great choice at the moment. It will stay with me for many years ...view more I think for international students, if you like gaming, this computer would be a good choice as it is small enough and has wifi and Bluetooth support to take on a plane in your carry-on luggage.

does need some work upon purchase to use for gaming, wifi isn't great with the antennas being under the pc, so id recommend ethernet which also doesn't work upon plug in, had to troubleshoot for hours to get it working, also doesn't have a lot of usb ports so you're going to need to buy a usb 3.0 hub. graphics card is mint for the price, cpu isnt bad, doesn't have a lot of storage tho so you're going to need to purchase more, have had to completely wipe the pc and get some help setting it up so it can run smoothly with things like fallout76, dark tide, and bigger games, im sure as is it will work brilliantly for smaller games such as fortnite...view more does need some work upon purchase to use for gaming, wifi isn't great with the antennas being under the pc, so id recommend ethernet which also doesn't work upon plug in, had to troubleshoot for hours to get it working, also doesn't have a lot of usb ports so you're going to need to buy a usb 3.0 hub. graphics card is mint for the price, cpu isnt bad, doesn't have a lot of storage tho so you're going to need to purchase more, have had to completely wipe the pc and get some help setting it up so it can run smoothly with things like fallout76, dark tide, and bigger games, im sure as is it will work brilliantly for smaller games such as fortnite, minecraft, sims ect, great starting pc, just needs some work if you're going to get seriously into gaming and streaming and stuff :) would 100% recommend as a starting point if you're just getting into pcs and learning as its upgradeable and easy to work on, just have to have some patience

One note would be the usb sockets internally seem to block the signal for my wireless mouse/keyboard - but using the exterior usb is fine. It's a shame there's only one exterior usb slot. Other than that - great! One note would be the usb sockets internally seem to block the signal for my wireless mouse/keyboard - but using the exterior usb is fine.

Perfect for my home office. I use it for a lot of video conferencing with multiple applications running at one time. Handles everything beautifully and so fast, and with the water cooling it is almost completely silent. Great graphics with gaming too.
Only downside was that I didn't realize I needed to attach WiFi antennae to start, and was wondering why the signal was rubbish.
Great value for such an efficient machine - especially compared to Laptops, which I had previously been using. Perfect for my home office.
