Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been very satisfied with this desktop. Am using it primarily for VR gaming and Unity development, and absolutely no issues with setup, installation and runtime on either. My only disappointment about the configuration has been the limited space on the PCIe SSD. Most of you reading this probably already know the secret to how easy it is to upgrade, but finding out this secret was not so simple for me. So for those handful of people who may be having similar issues, here is the secret. The PCIe ssds do not sit directly on the motherboard. Next to the 2 memory modules is an armour looking device which is actually an ROG-exclusive DIMM.2 module which holds two M.2 SSDs. If you take it out of the motherboard (you should push the release catch to be able to pull it out) and remove the heat sinks on each side, you will see the ssd that came with the pc on one side and an open slot for an additional ssd. (There is not a screw to secure the new ssd to the module, so you're on your own there. I was told it's a standard m.2 screw, which can be ordered from Amazon.) This configuration allows 2 identical ssds to be paired as a RAID, but I installed a 1TB ssd, which was recognized by the PC as an extra drive. This is the card I installed: Samsung - 970 EVO Plus 1TB Internal PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology The BIOS recognized the card automatically, but it had to be formatted for Windows to list it as a drive. Super easy. Hope this helps someone who might be confused about upgrade options. There are also a couple of easy 2.5" SATA options.

The desktop is definitely a awesome buy I’m able to utilize it and play high graphic demanding games with no problems.

no complaints. Runs quiet and has enough power to run most games on high settings.

This is my second ASUS desktop. Got it on sale for 1599$. So far it has been a great gaming rig. Plays Red dead with mostly maxed out settings at 1440P at 60FPS. the blower style GPU can get loud but so far that is the only complaint. Very happy with Purchase.

This is one of the best purchases I have Made, Excellent in both Office and Gaming. The hot swap bay give be easy access If I want to add additional Storage with SSD. Plenty of USB Connectivity. Does get warm when playing some games but I play those on Max and the Desktop doesn't slow down.

Bought this for my husband who LOVES playing Destiny and he says he'll never play on a gaming console ever again. The graphics are just amazing compared to anything else he's ever played on. Super satisfied with this purchase.

Would like to give it 5 stars but I am a little disappointed by the way the clear cover fits on the case. There is a 1/4 inch gap open all the way around it. It does not fit snug like the metal panel. I'm also seeing only 1 m.2 ssd slot on the motherboard when all the literature online say there are 2. The final disappointment is the keyboard. It must be the cheapest made thing available. When you spend $1599 on a PC a nice keyboard should be a no brainer. Other than those things it works and runs great.

Memory isn’t the greatest, and I’ve had games freeze once every week or so, but runs high end games well. Solid value

I luckily got this when it was on sale for $1,499 so the deal was insane I literally saw it online then had it reserved at a store an hour away. It is a lot smaller than I was expecting (didn't check dimensions before I bought it) but it does its job really well. I can play just about every game on "high" graphics and get over 100 fps with "ultra" being the next highest graphics setting. Yes it will run Mine craft but don't quote me. For being a pretty big gamer, I'd say this is perfect for me. I paired it with an ASUS 144hz curved monitor and it puts my PS4 Pro to shame. Be honest with yourself, you always wanted that 2080 ti but trust the process, your wallet will appreciate it.

I was upgrading from a pretty outdated system but calling it an upgrade is an understatement. This system plays every game on ultra graphics with minimal to no load time. This setup will last 10 years easy with the graphics card that came in it!!!

I will say that this pc is great to buy during Black Friday because of the amount of power that goes into this of only 1700 bucks... It's almost a steal. But if you want the true gaming experience, then you should invest in a different keyboard and mouse because the once that are provided to you are pretty bad for gaming use unless you are only using the pc for editing or videos.

Excellent Speed, worth every penny. My son is an avid gamer and and has only great things to say about it. The optional side panel that you can see through is a fun added bonus.

This desktop has been smooth operating for all the games I play. good graphics, solid load speeds, adequate storage with upgrade options. I would buy it again for the price.

Good computer but traded it in for upgraded processor

Great tower for gaming runs wow over 80 fps while in heavy populated areas as well in LFR (huge frame drops normally) but the PC just powers thru.

I love this computer. It's powerful enough to run all my art and 3d modeling software as well as play games. Great investment

Zero problems out of this computer. Very fast and runs cool. Nice that it came with the clear panel to show off the lights.

It was easy to set up, and now use. This thing is a beast and easily upgradable. I have been recommending to my friends.

Why build your own it cost allot more this ASUS computer is perfect for gaming and anything you throw at it perfect.

For the price, you get quite a bit. I’ve had this PC for over a year now and it gets the job done. Cooling could also be better with more than just an exhaust fan.
