Today, Lenovo is offering the quad-core K450e desktop PC for just $649.99. Simply use the coupon code “USK450E55” in your shopping cart, and you’ll instantly save 350 bucks off the sticker price. And considering how low that asking price is, the internals of this sleek, modern tower are nothing to sneeze at.

On the inside, this model sports a fourth generation quad-core 3.6GHz Intel Core i7-4790 CPU, integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600, 16GB of DDR3 RAM (1600MHz), a 2TB solid-state hybrid drive, a DVD burner, a 300W power supply, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi support. And if you want to expand it even further, the process couldn’t be easier.

In fact, you don’t even need tools to upgrade this cleverly designed machine. Just slip off the cover, and you’re ready to upgrade as you see fit. You can get a 3TB drive online for about $90, so storage certainly won’t be a problem. Want to be able to play the latest games? Just slap in a nice discrete graphics card like the GeForce GTX 970 from Nvidia. Need to run multiple virtual machines? You can easily expand to 32GB of RAM. The K450e is super flexible, so feel free to customize and tweak all you like.

Better yet, it comes with four USB 3.0 ports, so you can simply plug-in external hard drives and peripherals if you prefer. With a few minor upgrades over the next few years, you can easily keep your machine at peak performance. And thanks to Lenovo’s top-notch engineering, the experience is never a hassle.

Now, this model ships with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) installed by default, so you’ll have access to hundreds of thousands of apps in the Windows Store right out of the box. Keep in mind, you’ll also be eligible to upgrade to Windows 10. And if you make the jump before the end of July 2016, you won’t have to pay a dime. Alternately, you could wipe your drive, and install Linux Mint or Ubuntu instead. Whichever OS you prefer to use, it’s still nice to have so many choices available.

If you’re in need of a powerful workhorse PC for the office or living room, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better value than this model. While a traditional desktop PC like this doesn’t offer the same portability of a laptop or tablet, you simply can’t beat this kind of price-performance ratio. And with a little care and some occasional upgrades, this could easily last you five years or more.
