Here is a really good computer, and it will last for a long time. It has a gaming keyboard and mouse which are backlit, a nice large monitor which is ips and 27", and the cpu and graphics card will last a long time without the need to upgrade. Also, the case is blue, which is the same colour as the keyboard and mouse so you got a really awesome glowing blue color scheme going on there 😀

Let me know if you have any questions
