If you are a hardcore gamer and really want to up its performance I suggest getting a 32 gb ram to upgrade with since 16 gb of ram makes some games stutter but it’s not bad! ### ⭐ Computer is shutting off randomly after only a couple months of use *by on Reviewed in the United States July 8, 2026* After only a few weeks of use this computer is shutting down randomly. lt only happens when gaming, and after trying multiple drivers and firmware updates for the 5050 and the mobo it is still happening. I verified power connectors, reseated the connections and the GPU itself. Event logs indicate the problem is stemming from the GPU. The motherboard or GPU is having hardware issues already unfortunately and Zotac's warranty replacement is notorious for terrible rma process. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Computer for the Price!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 25, 2026* This machine is everything you could ask for at this price. It's got two extra RAM slots, a nice power supply, an extra m.2 slot and even though it has 5 RGB fans it's absolutely silent!!As with a couple of other reviews, Windows was not activated. But I emailed support and got an answer back literally within minutes giving me an activation key that worked so I don't know what those people did wrong but their 1 star rating says a lot more about them than it does this rig. If you're on the fence bc of the reviews don't be! It's an absolute killer setup for the money and looks amazing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/810331058-mek-gaming-pc-desktop-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5050-8gb-gddr6](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/810331058-mek-gaming-pc-desktop-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5050-8gb-gddr6) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-15*
