Empowered PC Mantis V2 Gaming Desktop (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Processor, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD + 2TB HDD, Windows 11H) Gamer Computer

I bought this system to keep up with my needs for my hobbies, graduate school work, and to have a little fun. As such, this rig gets used for a variety of tasks such as audio video production, photo editing, data analysis and modeling, GIS, and of some gaming. My previous rig was in the same price range as this one but it was from 2014. This is a substantial upgrade. I spend significantly less time waiting for things to happen when I’m working. Even ArcMap 10 runs better on this machine so my mental health has improved greatly too.I don’t play a ton of games but Assassin’s Creed Origins and Witcher 3 get between 90-144fps on highest settings with occasional dips during busy moments. Heavily modded games like Fallout 4 and Skyrim have virtually no loading times and play relatively flawlessly even with dozens of mods installed.I have no real concerns about this rig, but if you are the type that moves their tower around a lot you should know that the cosmetic panels on the case feel a little fragile. Also the USB ports on the top of case are slightly awkward if you are setting the tower on a table. When playing games or running calculation heavy processes this system puts out a lot of heat; however, the internal temps stay in safe range.

I was originally planning on building something from scratch, but the cost of parts on this guy were about equal to what I would be paying to buy everything separate. This thing runs all my modern games at greater than 60 fps. I love how it comes with a checklist sheet confirming every part was tested and validated. My only complaint is the system only recognized 16gb of ram rather than the 32 gb jt supposedly came with. I opened the case and realized one of the ram sticks were not properly seated in. After pushing it in all the way it has been an absolute dream. I want to note that I only knew to check this because some other reviews have noted the same issue but with other components. I am still giving this 5 stars because it is such an amazing computer, but if you buy this thing, BE SURE TO CHECK THAT APL THE COMPONENTS ARE PLUGGED IN!

I bought this for fast production/rendering of videos (home type). It's as fast as I had hoped. Good machine

For gaming, runs very smooth, boots up faster than any computer I’ve ever had!

Great product! Exactly as described. Customer support was awesome!

It’s super fast

Update (lowered to 1 star):After over a year of spotty WIFI due to the USB (I tried two different devices) I decided to upgrade the WIFI with a PCIe WIFI card, but CUK has configured their motherboard so that this is impossible. It's permanently only USB wifi, which doesn't work well. VERY DISAPPOINTED.First review (3 stars):I bought this to upgrade to 32GB of RAM and it exports my Adobe videos much faster, which is good.However, the WIFI adapter included is seriously buggy, which is bad.My previous computer had no issues, but this one is constantly disconnecting from the internet and the connection is unreliable. Whoever their WIFI antenna supplier is, they clearly got a bad one.
