I added 8gb a couple months ago although I didn't really need it. I now have 16gb ram. All my games run on ultra high. My boys plays most of the games from Steam which include Dead by Daylight, Quake Live, The Division, The Mean Green Plastic Warfare, Gotham City Impostors, Marvel Heroes and some others.
Update 3/12/16:
I just finished installing a Zotac GTX 970 dual fan graphics card I bought for gaming. I also installed a 7 port USB 3.0 pci mini and a Seasonic 550w 80plus Gold series power supply unit. I haven't installed anything in a computer since about 1995-1999 so I forgot how to do a lot. I just took some pictures with my phone before I disconnected everything that way I knew where everything went. I went through a lot of unnecessary buying of cables and adapters for the first power supply unit i bought which was a EVGA 500w 80 plus certified power supply. I had a 4 pin connector that didn't line up with the motherboards one and it didn't have 24 pins so I had to buy an adapter. It cost around $45 and it couldn't power the computer with the graphics card even though it was rated to do so. I am returning it and bought the Seasonic 550w power supply hoping it would work. This power supply is great. about $80 but worth it. It came with lots of cables, was slightly bigger but it fit. It had a 24 pin cable and two 4 pin cables for different motherboards. I connected it and powered the computer on without the graphics card and it powered up with no problems. I then installed the graphics card and did a power test and it powered up everything perfectly. I wish someone would have try this already as I spent more money with trial and error but my goal was to get this ready for Oculus Rift. According to site it should run everything fine but I may need to update CPU. I will try the Oculus Rift out first. The GTX 970 grahics card also came with a free copy/download of Tom Clancys The Division game. I maxed out the pci express and pci mini but still have space for ram upgrade. The breakdown of what my system now has. I bought everything through Amazon.

I was refunded for the EVGA power supply and one adapter. The other one was only $7 which I kept since I would have to pay about the same to ship it back.
I also added a 4tb portable usb hd for my Plex media server and it runs flawlessly. This is the best computer I have ever owned.
Original review:
I purchased this computer during cyber Monday 2015. My older computer was slow and out of memory. Web pages loaded slowly and it was running Windows Vista! This computer is what I needed and what my girlfriend needed for nursing school. Lots of memory with 2tb harddrive. It's fast and running Windows 10 and Web pages load quick. Very quick. I have lots of usb connects and I still have one more usb 3.0 available. It runs quick and I don't feel a lot of heat like my old tower. It also very quiet. I can't hear it at all. Great investment and the price was a bargain for what I got.
