Customers consistently note the exceptional performance and impressive graphics capabilities of the Gamer Panzer Liquid Cooled Desktop, frequently praising its powerful processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card. Many appreciate the effective liquid cooling system and ample RAM, contributing to smooth gameplay and a quiet operation. However, some users point out the lack of integrated Wi-Fi and express concerns about the power supply unit.
After many years of holding out with my GTX 770, I was finally convinced I needed a new video card. With prices ranging from $699+, it seemed like maybe it was time to lay down the whole enchilada - It had a 1080 that was actually available, and for the price of two 1080s, you can have an all new, decent PC. With many gigabytes of games (~200 AAA titles I never have time to play), I was a bit concerned about the secondary drive not being SSD. This turned out to be a non-issue. The secondary drive was fast enough where loading times seemed better than normal (no complaints). The primary drive being SSD gave me quick loading times for Windows, and I suspect the system caching was greatly sped up by this. You are getting a Toshiba DT01ACA200 for your secondary drive, and a SanDisk SD8BAT256G1122 for your primary. Both perform well, but I will note I had to completely reformat the secondary drive due to consistant errors. It seems fine now, but if it consistently errors in the future, I will replace it. 32GB of RAM is more than ANYONE will EVER use gaming (unless you plan on firing up 4 AAA titles), but was nice to have, as you could fire up virtual machines, etc., with plenty of memory left to play with. I would say it is a safe bet that the ram is ADATA XPG DDR4 1066 RAM (Reports "unknown" manufacturer). The processor is more than capable, and keeps up nicely with the video card, while remaining cool (thanks to the liquid cooling). I fire up most of my games 2160p, and this thing fires up no problem, and burns through them without any indication of throttling. I max every one of the latest game settings, and really don't even notice much of a difference as far as performance is concerned. Of course you're not going to get that holy grail of 60fps on every title at 2160p, but I'd call them more than playable. The box sits under my desk, and I do not notice any noise from it. You are getting an MSI Z170A PC-Mate motherboard, and if you are planning on doing dual 1080s (SLI), forget about it with this motherboard. This is XFire compatible only (ironically). This motherboard is paired with an MSI 1080 GTX Armor OC, but don't let the OC fool you... Comparative specs shows you the OC is embarrassingly minimal. The lights are super bright, and you can change the color with a button hidden under the top, so if you're really into the "neat-o mosquito" light show like my 12 year old daughter, then there you have it. The case is minimalist in that you aren't going to be throwing any drives in the front slots (because there are none) - so your internal Blu-Ray is going to be getting the cold shoulder with this case. For more info, look up "Phanteks Eclipse." Other than that, it's spacious, neatly organized, and designed for cooling. Keyboard and mouse went out the window for my G15 and Sentey mouse, but they looked cool in the package? Overall, could you build your own PC for less (or even this identical PC)? Of course, but if you have the money, want your warranty from one location, and don't have the time to mess with it, for the price on a pre-built, this really can't be beat.

This computer will run any video game you throw at it at maximum settings, even games played at 4k resolution run smoothly. The GPU gets hotter than I would like in this case is one thing I've noticed. I would recommend adding at least one additional fan personally. However, in spite of the higher temperature there has been absolutely no negative impact on performance; the machine eats up everything I have thrown at it. One small gripe is that it comes without a cd drive, but also comes with cd's that contain important drivers for the motherboard -and if you need to install drivers for your monitor you will encounter the same issue. A cheap USB-based external CD-drive is only around $15, and an addition fan is about the same -small price to pay to get this incredible machine up and running. I would say that the price for this setup is almost perfect. I've always built my own computers, but I made an exception in this case and so far I have no regrets.

I have to start by saying that sending is about 4 days faster than expected, so I loved receiving it before, besides the well packed and safe computer came when unpacking take me a surprise because the gtx 1080 that was bringing was not nor EVGA, msi, etc ... but came with the ZOTAC 1080 GTX, but nothing to worry about then and do my research was one of the best, being on Amazon for $ 820, which is much more than what they are worth the other, came with 32 GB of RAM from ADATA white something that I really liked, and anything my friends experience is 10, I and proven 20 games of 2015 and 2016 the most of graphics and works perfectly, HDDs are very fast the toshiba hdd gives me speeds up to 160 mbs and ssd is extremely fast.
