I generally build my own rigs but after doing thorough research and using sites to calculate how much it will cost to buy the parts to build this thing, you actually save money. The CPU and GPU alone will cost over $1000. Not only do you get a 7700K (the 'K' designation allows you to overclock the CPU), but you get the best GPU in the market (aside from the next coming of the Titan X) in the market today. Throw that in with Windows 10 (which is another pricey OS to add to the whole build), and you actually save money. PROS: -CPU is top notch - i7 7700K -GPU - one of the fastest cards as of today - 1080 Ti -Motherboard - You get an Asus Z270-K Prime -16GB of DDR4 RAM -Cable management is clean -Lighting gimmicks are nice (if you like the color red) -See through panels are made out of real glass! (not plastic) -CPU is watercooled! -compact mid-size tower, very compact CONS -Only 3+ fans (you may want to add an extra fan on the open vent at the top -GPU is a reference card. The reference cooler for the 1080 Ti is okay but it gets really loud when the GPU temps hit around 65C. You may need to use a GPU overclocking software to establish a decent fan curve -the bays for extra drives are very cramped, but manageable -the 7200RPM 3TB mechanical drive is nice to have, but this is a standard mechanical hard drive -you'll need to fiddle with the BIOS to overclock the CPU -the WD SSD has a blue and white sticker on it. Unless you remove it, it actually contradicts the color scheme of the lighting (red) Overall, you save about a good $300+ with this pre-built PC rig (not to mention, you save yourself time and effort). It's fast, probably overkill for the setup I have now (I run a 1440p Gsync monitor with this thing), but quite a beast of a rig for gaming (or productivity). Definitely worth it!

My boyfriend kept bothering me about buying this desktop for the longest! When it went on sale, I finally gave in and bought it for him. Its pretty cool. Very fancy looking and very fast! For me, it might have been a little more expensive than i wanted, but for the speed and the power, it was worth it. The colors are nice and the appearance is so cool. Everyone that sees it is always like "whooooaaaaa... its really nice!"" Im planning on keeping this for as long as i can and as long as it lasts.

This machine exceeds my expectations. I wanted the 16gb ram cause I can up grade later for the same price for the 32gb version of this beautifully put together machine. However if you get the GTX 1060 or 1070 or the 1080 non ti you’ll have to fork out 750+ for the 1080ti card. Anyways I use this for Iracing and exceeds Iracing needs and Iracing most likely won’t out date this computer for at least four years and if it did this machine is easily upgradable.
