Good performance but questionable quality

First, one of the few scraps of documentation they give you that touts the Asus quality, they misspell quality. They also encourage you to dial their toll free number, but they misspell dial.
After having early trouble with the networking, I decided to reinstall Windows 8.1 which was a nightmare as Asus gives you no disk, no product ID, and no instructions. Their website was also an exercise in futility for what should be a basic FAQ essential. After searching Google, I figured out how to get it done (the product ID is now inside the BIOS with Win8 and you'll need to download Windows to a jump drive from another computer if you have one). Why you spend $1000 for a computer and they can't include a 50 cent CD is beyond me.
Also be aware this desktop tower has only one spare PCI-EX1 slot and no other slots except the one the video card occupies. Both memory slots are also taken, although 16GB should be enough for a while.
I wish Asus or others would give options for including a 500-1TB SSD drive. It would triple performance for $200-$300.
I haven't tried to call their support number so far, but I have low expectations. Hopefully, the machine will run well from here on out.

Bought this computer for my day-trading. I run this computer with two 27 in. monitors and a HD projector. I could not be happier with the performance of this computer. For the price, I could not find anything more capable than this ASUS computer. i7 Intel - 16GB RAM - 4GB NVIDIA G-Force Graphics card. Can't beat this computer!

After looking around, I settled on this computer to meet the needs I have for playing online games as well as recording music. I am happy on both accounts. It looks more professional than most gaming computers, I'm not into bling, but more into what I'm doing when it comes to my desktop. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking bling, on cars and guitars I say go for it. Setup was a snap, not one single issue installing my recording software, could not ask for a better experience. If your interested in a good desktop with some versatility, check it out, I really like the 4 gig dedicated graphics. It was a great purchase.

This is one fast machine! Boots in less than 30 seconds. Still fast with more than 20 windows open and apps running! The only weakness I've found would be in gaming. Still, its fine for light gaming, but would need an upgraded video card for the serious gamer to be content. I upgraded to an EVGA FTW GTX 980 and will be content until my next upgrade. Or, seeing how easy it was to pull the GT 740 and replace it with the GTX 980. BTW, I was really contemplating going with a GTX 970, but stumbled into a Killer deal on the 980. All in all, the ASUS is a great all-around PC. It's fast and with plenty of memory for school. work and play. I would buy this PC again.

If you're looking for an I7 decked out with almost everything, then this is a good deal at its price.
With windows 8.1 it boots super fast , the computers quiet, runs not hot.
I like the size , it's not a super small case.
All my plug n play accessories so far no problems.-printer, storage, etc.
2 areas can be addressed/upgraded to make it elite:
power supply, easily replaceable and affordable, I bought a 750watt for under $100.
graphics card. the onboard graphics are good for what they are, they were better than the card I had on my old quad core computer, but you can easily get a $150-200 card that will be a nice upgrade.
So far I am very happy with the purchase.

I love this PC. Speed is great. Setup was easy. Plays everything I bought it for. I do wish there were a few more USB 3.0 ports on it, specifically in the front, but there are enough to make things work.

Bought this system because my gaming computer crashed unexpectedly and I had gaming deadlines to meet and my new system wouldn't be arriving for at least a few days. It's a reliable, easy to set-up, basic computer system. I have been able to run ultra high graphics on Diablo, WoW, Starcraft, and Heroes of the Storm. It's got a great processor and the graphics card isn't too shabby.

The computer works great. After it was set up it runs fast, and has no delays even when tackling a lot of programs at once. The equipment included with the computer is basic, but it all works great and comes with a wi-fi antenna to boot.

This was my first experience with ASUS. Now I wonder why I waited so long. It boots quickly, and is lightning fast. I wanted a PC that I would be happy with for 3 years at least without needing to replace. I can see adding RAM and upgrading the GPU down the road, but its more than sufficient for my moderate gaming and home computing needs as is. I was considering a Dell XPS, but the ASUS was a real bargain on sale, and configured just the way I wanted. In my opinion, its a bargain not to be passed up unless you are a serious gamer. Then you may look for a PC with with a stronger video card. I love my ASUS and will likely buy another when it comes time to replace this one.

This was an upgrade of my gaming PC. After a lot of reading and searching I decided on the Asus. For the money you cannot buy a better system hands down. Runs everything I have without trouble no problem from set up till now. Key board and mouse are ok but had better to swap them out.

I purchased this new desktop and plan to keep it for many years. It is replacing an HP desktop that had 4GB of DDR2 and Pentium 3 processor from 2006.
So far, I am very pleased. The desktop is lightning fast and was easy to set up. I am looking for 8 years of computing with this Asus.

I have had pretty good luck with the computer .When i downloaded windows 10 it did something to my network adapter and wouldnt let me hook it up online thru it so i went back to windows 8.1.It has jammed up on me a couple times but unplugging the cord for 10 seconds fixes this.But preformance is good on games and movies and can run 20 windows plus at once plus run a defrag and 4 malware remorver tools and only use 30%ram

I've had this computer for a few weeks now and I haven't found any issue with it yet. It runs surprisingly well, then again ASUS always make great machines. Having mostly what it needs already, all that's left to make a great gaming computer is swapping out the graphics card and PSU. True, it could use more USB ports but you can buy extra USB ports easily enough.

The ASUS is very fast with great graphics. This is my second ASUS. Granted I got it thru the warranty program but ASUS and Best Buy stood behind the product. Come to find out that probably the after market video car installed at the time of purchase was causing the problem. Hats off to Best Buy!!!

This computer is very simple to set up. I was frustrated with my HP which was a few years old. This computer blows that one out of the water in speed, reliability, and ease of use. Starts up ready to use in about 5-10 seconds each time.
