Snapshot

The 30-Second Version

The Qehi Qe300A scores 33.4 out of 100, with a 256GB SSD that ranks in the 13th percentile and an RX 560 GPU that's fine for casual games but struggles with modern titles. The Ryzen 5 4500 and 16GB of RAM handle daily multitasking well, and Wi-Fi 6 is a nice bonus. But the port selection is sparse and reliability is a concern at the 12th percentile.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Ryzen 5 4500 with 12 threads handles daily multitasking without breaking a sweat
  • RX 560 4GB is a discrete GPU, not integrated graphics, so casual games actually run
  • 16GB of DDR4 RAM means you can keep dozens of tabs open without hitting a wall
  • Wi-Fi 6 built in, which is a nice touch at this price
  • 8 RGB fans keep things cool and look flashy if that's your thing

Cons

  • 256GB SSD is tiny, ranking in the 13th percentile for storage
  • Port selection is bare bones at the 17th percentile, just one HDMI plus VGA
  • RX 560 is a 2017 card that struggles with anything modern
  • Reliability score sits at the 12th percentile, which is a red flag
  • FreeDOS instead of Windows means you're installing an OS yourself

The proof

Performance

The Ryzen 5 4500 is a 6-core, 12-thread chip that sits at the 44th percentile for CPUs in this category. That's middle of the pack, and for everyday multitasking, it's fine. You can run a dozen browser tabs, a spreadsheet, and a video call without much stutter. But it's not a speed demon, and the 3.6GHz base clock won't impress anyone who's used a modern 7000-series Ryzen.

The RX 560 with 4GB of VRAM is the real story here. It ranks at the 53rd percentile for GPUs, which sounds okay until you remember this is a discrete card from 2017. It'll handle Minecraft, League of Legends, and older titles at 1080p, but anything from the last few years will need settings cranked way down. The 16GB of DDR4 RAM sits at the 32nd percentile, which is enough for daily use but not exactly future-proof. And that 256GB SSD at the 13th percentile means you'll be uninstalling games to make room for Windows updates.

vs Competition

Stacked against the Apple Mac Studio M3 Ultra, this thing looks like a toy, but that's an unfair fight. The Mac Studio costs several times more and targets creators, not budget buyers. More relevant comparisons are the Dell Desktop ECT1250 and HP OmniDesk M02-0234, both of which are office-focused machines. The Qehi has a discrete GPU where those often rely on integrated graphics, so it wins on casual gaming. But the Dell and HP typically offer better reliability scores and more storage. The Lenovo Legion 90YA003GUS and MSI Aegis Z2 are actual gaming desktops with modern GPUs, and they absolutely demolish the Qehi in gaming performance. If gaming matters, save up for one of those. If you just need a PC that can also play older games, the Qehi is a cheaper path.

Value & Pricing

At $530 USD, the Qehi Qe300A is priced like a budget gaming PC but performs like an office machine with a graphics card bolted on. The CAD listing at $980 and the MXN listing at 11,997 pesos are each in their own currency, so don't try to compare them directly. For the US price, you're getting a functional daily driver with a discrete GPU, which is rare at this price point. But the 256GB SSD and the aging RX 560 mean you'll likely spend more money soon on storage and possibly a GPU upgrade. The value proposition is shaky unless you only need light gaming and basic productivity.

Overview

The Qehi Qe300A scores a 33.4 out of 100 in our database, which lands it near the bottom of the mid-tower pile. The headline numbers tell the story: a Ryzen 5 4500, an RX 560 with 4GB of VRAM, 16GB of DDR4, and a 256GB SSD. It's a budget box trying to wear a gaming costume, and the eight RGB fans are doing a lot of heavy lifting for the vibe.

For $530 USD, you're getting a machine that handles office work, web browsing, and video streaming without breaking a sweat. But the moment you ask it to do anything demanding, the cracks show. The storage is the weakest link at the 13th percentile, and the port selection is even more limited at the 17th. This is a daily driver with a gamer aesthetic, not a gaming PC.

Common Questions

Q: Can this PC run modern games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Call of Duty?

Not well. The RX 560 with 4GB of VRAM sits at the 53rd percentile for GPUs in this category, which means it's average at best. It'll handle older or less demanding titles at 1080p, but modern AAA games will need low settings and may still struggle to hit smooth frame rates.

Q: Is 256GB of storage enough?

For basic use, yes. But it ranks in the 13th percentile for storage among mid-towers, which is near the bottom. Windows alone takes up a chunk of that, and a few modern games can eat 50-100GB each. You'll likely want to add a second drive or use external storage pretty quickly.

Q: Does it come with Windows installed?

No, it ships with FreeDOS. You'll need to install Windows or Linux yourself, which means buying a Windows license if you want that OS. The specs are fine for Windows 10 or 11, but the setup is on you.

Who Should Skip This

Skip this if you're serious about gaming or need reliable storage. The RX 560 is a 2017 card that ranks at the 53rd percentile, which means it's average among all GPUs in this category, not among gaming GPUs. The 256GB SSD at the 13th percentile will fill up fast, and the port selection at the 17th percentile means you'll be reaching for dongles. If you need a machine for video editing, 3D work, or modern games, this isn't it. The reliability score at the 12th percentile is also a concern for anyone who can't afford downtime.

Verdict

The Qehi Qe300A is a budget desktop that does daily tasks fine and casual gaming okay, but it's held back by a tiny SSD, weak port selection, and a GPU that's showing its age. The 33.4 overall score reflects a machine that's functional but not impressive. If you need a cheap PC for school, office work, and light gaming, it'll do the job. But if you're serious about gaming or need more than 256GB of storage, you'll outgrow this thing fast. The eight RGB fans are fun, but they don't make up for the compromises underneath.
