Sporting tech specs that exceed the recommended specifications for virtual reality as suggested by Oculus, this build by ASUS will have you cruising virtual worlds like a BOSS! Unpacking and setup was a breeze. The system is compact and runs super quiet. It kept a steady 90 frames during the entire Valve VR benchmark test, which is the recommended frame rate for VR. I ran all games at max, even Digital Combat Simulator (a graphics intensive flight and combat simulator) and it ran with no hiccups. Things to consider: You will need to purchase an extra video cable to connect to a monitor or HD TV (male DVI out from PC). The system comes with a 256 SSD, which will fill up pretty quickly with VR content. Upgradability isn't easily achieved due to small form factor. Especially the system RAM, which is blocked by the copper CPU cooling pipes. The only issue I had was running the Nvidia Experience app for the first time. It would not connect to the Nvidia site. If this happens to you, simply delete Nvidia Experience and download it from the Nvidia website. I've been running the system for over a month with no issues since. If you want an out-of-the-box ready power system with a rich VR experience, then this package is for you!

I bought this computer based on specs and owning an Asus laptop which has been a very good computer for the past 6 years. I'm not a computer pro, just a guy that wanted a good, fast computer. My only issue has been some crashes or mini crashes. It lost audio while playing games a couple times. I don't know why. Rebooted it and everything was fine. It's frozen up a couple times in the month since I bought it, requiring a manual reboot. A computer expert friend of mine is coming over soon it check all the settings and make sure it's perfect. There are so many options in Windows 10 that I might not have everything setup right. It's fast, real quiet and looks great on the Sony 43" 4k tv I use as a monitor.

Product Review : The product is great (5 stars for the product if i would not have bought at best buy) I bought if for oculus and it works great. Experience with BestBuy: I bought this product in store and since there was no stock they had to ship it . I paid some additional money to get the PC quicker put it came 2 days later than what was promised. I was told i would get a refund of the shipping price but that never happened. I requested for a price mach as the price went down by 200 dollars on this product but they just refunded me 100 and refused to change that. I would have rather walked to the store and got a refund .I am also told i cant go to the store now for a refund because they have a policy to allow only one refund. This probably might not happen with everyone but i am done with BestBuy
