Acer Nitro 50 N50-640-UA91 Gaming Desktop | 12th Gen Intel Core i5-12400F 6-Core Processor | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 | 8GB 3200MHz DDR4 | 512GB NVMe M.2 SSD | Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 | Windows 11 Home

My teen has been asking for his own desktop for gaming for awhile. He doesnt do any of the newer, high requirement games, so I cant comment on those games.

The i5 6-core processor is good but a little outdated and the GeForce RTX 1650 doesnt compare to a 1080 or an RTX card. It can run most games smoothly but dont expect to be able to max out the graphics without losing significant FPS. I think for the price this is good for the specs listed. It runs fast and would work well as an intro to mid-range gaming computer or excellent as a basic-use computer. I generally prefer gaming computers, even for basic use because the processors can handle bigger/more complex programs and multi-tasking very well. I recommend upgrading the graphics card if you wish to use this for more demanding games that require a lot of FPS.

Cant leave much of a review due to the fact that I didnt receive a power cord for my computer.

My wife plays games on steam she loves it

I did my research and there were a lot of mixed reviews. Good and bad. I decided to go with this PC because it fit my needs at a reasonable price. After 1 month (a few days past the return date and maybe 24 hours total use) the computer stopped working. It became a brick and nothing would work. I worked with Acer to trouble shoot the product because it was under warranty. I had both good and bad experiences with their CS. Eventually, they told me to ship it to them for repair.

Amazon advertises this machine with four memory slots - the mother board only has two.

Excellent buy

If you buy this system, or probably any other Acer Nitro desktops, you will find Acer has enabled a very dangerous setting. In Device Manager, under Disk Drives, go to the properties of the SSD, click the Policies tab, and UNcheck Turn off Windows write-cache buffer flushing on the device. Before I figured this out, user profiles on the machine were getting corrupted regularly. I have never seen this on by default in any other machine I have gotten from Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc.

Works great! No issues whatsoever and looks nice

The PC came in pretty quick shipping wasnt an issue at all and good packaging as well. As for everything it comes with didnt come with an HDMI cord, Lucky I had one on hand. But mouse and keyboard work well, obviously nothing to go crazy about something to upgrade later. As for gaming it runs most games pretty good. Solid 60 to 70 fps on the games Ive ran on it so far I would definitely recommend it to someone who is looking to get into pc gaming.
