Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought on a sale for $300 dollars of so I paid $1500. Which was a really good price for the power this tower provides. Not to sure I would have bought without it being on sale. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is I think it could use either some higher powered fans or more fans in general. And the case itself seems to be made out of some cheaper plastic would have like to see a little more quality there for the price I paid especially if I was going to pay full price. Other than that this computer seems to preform like a beast. Runs all my games at 144 FPS or more on max graphics. I loved that it came with the 2080 super most PCs I found in the $1500 dollar range only had 2070 supers or even some had 2060 supers. I am very happy with the purchase over all.

It's a good system with some odd flaws from Asus. Pro's: Stylish - They system looks and feels great. Quiet - It's a very quiet system High Performance Con's: Single Channel Memory at 2666mhz and CAS19 timing - Just about the cheapest memory solution I can imagine. This is a glaring issue IMO. Only a single 92mm exhaust fan-Speed tied to CPU temps from what I can tell. No Mounts for additional case fans Biggest issues here are the very skimpy system RAM asus went with and the single case fan. The 2080 Super is designed to exhaust air out the back of the card, so you will need to have a similar designed card if you ever want to upgrade this rig. A bit of a Shame, the Asus Rig here, especially the case is fantastic. The System RAM and poor case fan design are pretty big faults IMO.

Cons - *Runs on the warm side but everything I found states it is normal/ ok. *ROG Strix RGB/Aura seems to give everyone fits including myself. With that said, if you purchase this computer.... turn the gpu's rgb off before updating because currently mine is stuck on a color that does not match with the rest of the case. With that being said, I seen a few things stating the Nvidia 20 series cards seem to have issues with rgb not working correctly and such. *Ram seems to bottle neck itself at times. *Price is a bit steep, but if you want something already built its solid enough. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pros- *Has ran every game I thrown at it on ultra- high settings with decent fps numbers and pretty smoothly I may add with 1080p settings. *Is capable of 4k settings *The RGB lights that do work correctly are neat/pretty. *Upgrade potiental is there.

Pros: Easy to setup and get running. Quiet even when running 3D software, game engine and substance painter. Well ventilated, stays cool and really clean inside. Great performance for the price. Cons: Died after 20 hours of use. Probably faulty PSU or just underpowered. I'll give it another try

Great computer. Especially if you a little customization without having to build from scratch. Have had it several years now, & love it. Works great, use it for gaming & designing. Running 2 displays of off it. And other than upgrading my ram for some of my design programs, & wanted rgb ram, lol. Have done no other mods. The 2080 super still works great!!!

Had this PC for a year or two now. Was tired of waiting for a 3000 series graphics card to build a new one so I bought this prebuilt. That was a mistake. Two years older than the one I built my wife and hers holds up way better. And the noise, good lord. The fans in this thing are a nightmare. It performs decently well on most games but still not as well as my wife’s. This is due in part to the no-name RAM in the machine I think. Probably going to sell it to build another custom soon.

the motherboard is SO small, ITX factor, the PSU wiring is so tight and confusing that i cannot add even an SSD drive because i cant find a free SATA connection and finally, i purchased a Cooler Master air cooler for the CPU because the stock cooler is both minimal and not enough to cool the PC under load on the RTX 2080 Super (runs very hot) and it is too big to close the case back up (never seen this happen before, used this same cooler on 4 PCs now). The overall quality of the build itself is great, but keep in serious mind that the box is basically un-upgradeable in its current form factor

Overpriced for last-gen hardware and lack of upgradability. Unfortunately, the good aspects of this machine also contribute to major drawbacks. PROS: - RTX 2080 Super is a beast. - Case is slim and compact; RGB effects look nice. CONS: - Cooling is abysmal and will not adequately cool an RTX 2080 and the CPU down the road. Cheap, loud, ugly fans. - Single stick of RAM which bottlenecks performance in many AAA games. - Proprietary MOBO is not upgrade friendly and huge compromise to fit into the slim case. My first machine was DOA so I had to exchange it for another one. -1 star off the bat. Second one was fine. IF you get this machine, you will have to spend ~$200 more in getting an additional RAM stick and a better cooling system. There are way better options for 2K, and I could not justify keeping this machine when there are pre-builts that have 10th gen i7s and RTX 3070 at a cheaper price point. Exchanged this for an Aegis R 10th gen.

4k gaming capable with excellent visuals. I mainly play single player games and use it for work. I would say upgrade the power supply and get an additional ram sticks bc the single 16g ram stick isn't efficient enough compared to having 2x8 ram sticks from doing my own research. I handle about any app or game you throw at it. It does heat up a bit so you also may want to install another fan.

Gonna be honest, I bought this just to take out the 2080 super and put it into my personal PC. Pros- 2080 Super, M.2, and 2 TB HDD for a good competitive price compared to the GPU draught and scalpper prices Cons - Blower/single fan 2080 (gets hot really quick), no case fans included except a 120mm exhaust fan, and meh RAM

weird small form factor in a larger(ish) case. great Processor, 9700K can be overclocked fairly far, but motherboard doesn't really support it. only 2 RAM slots and max of 32 GB. I dont know if any one who reads this watches youtube reviewers, but Bitwit would slaughter this for having such good hardware and bottlenecking it with the sad motherboard. Next, you are limited to 80mm fans for both the CPU cooler and case if you want to upgrade them at all. lastly, beast of a GPU chipset, but rear-blower style fan makes it loud and blasts hot air out of the back of your case, better not put the tower anywhere that reduces airflow. So....for the overall cost you could either build something much better or find alternatives with a more conventional case, but in the end this PC does get the job done and can put up some good frames in certain games.

Advertised to run 3200 ram but the bios has it locked at 2133. Not much room to upgrade with new fans or water cooling (only has one exhaust fan). You're mostly paying for the gpu. Good machine if you're looking to plug and play right out of the box. Terrible if you plan to upgrade in the near future. I have used Asus products for 6 years and hoped to continue but I returned it for an Alienware r11.

great gaming system. runs fast and doesn't heat up like other PCs I have owned.

First I was looking for a gaming desktop, and I know "It's a pre-built blah blah blah." This PC looks nice, so if you're looking for a PC that looks good it does that. Here are some things it doesn't do. I upgraded RAM 32g 3200 Mhz. You're supposed to be able to adjust your RAM frequency in BIOS.....this is not the truth, it will clock at a max of 2033. So strike 1. There is nothing you can do about this. There is no "AI TWEAKER" included with the BIOS....you're completely locked out. Strike 2, cooling. You cannot add additional fans. There are 2, an exhaust (92mm) amd a CPU (92mm). So if you're looking to better the cooling you are restricted to the very odd 92mm fans. With that being said, it would run warm, but not hot. Strike 3....The motherboard restricts everything that you may grow into. Pros, It looks nice, doesn't take up a lot of space, and works fine if you're just going to plug it in and play. It came with the RTX 2080 Super and that's pretty much what you're paying for. If you think that you're going to use the i7 in a new motherboard.....it will not work as the new generations are keyed differently. Overall I ended up building my own.

This is the review you want to read before making the purchase. The Good: It performs well. Looks good. Decently quite with all things considered. The Bad: It runs HOT. Like borderline recommended temps. If you used this a lot the components will definitely not last as long as they should. The 2080 Super is a BLOWER MODEL. You can google why these are not good GPU styles. I know why they used this though. The PC only has one fan to exhaust heat. There is no intake fans for air. The blower GPU nearly acts as a exhaust fan as well. The CPU hits 85C constantly. While the GPU with optimized settings hit 83C while gaming. While these temps are considered “safe” they definitely will degrade the components faster than recommended. This PC cannot be upgraded besides the RAM. Speaking of Ram it comes with ONE STICK 16GB 2166hz. Single channel Ram is absolutely terrible not only for this price but performance as well. You need two Ram sticks for dual channel. Overall I returned this PC. I wanted something that will last. This most likely won’t.

Computer works great out of the box runs a little warm i recommend adding some fans and it only has 1 stick of 16gb ram but the motherboard can only take 16gb max so all you can do is get 2 8gb sticks I recommend getting the 3070 or 3080 version when its in stock i didnt even see them before i bought this one. But It runs great 100+ fps on all games on 1440p max graphics settings except rust that one seems to like to run at 80-90fps

Bought this as a dedicated gaming rig to sync with the new Asus VG259QM 280hz / 1080p display primarily for COD Modern Warfare. No photo / video work, no browsing or movies. Purely gaming, mostly MLG. Side note: Best display I've ever played on. This is not an expandable board / system outside of the RAM. Only came with one channel of 16x1 RAM. Just ordered G.Skill Trident Z 8x2 dual-channel set, personal choice. Only has two RAM slots / 16 each. COD only uses 8 per channel. Plays ultra smooth at 200mhz - 240mhz effortlessly, hours on end. Doesn't heat, super quiet. Comes with a high efficiency air-cooled CPU radiator and draw-thru 2080 super card. Good mid size tower and looks great, in a clean way. Subtle lighting; not into the slot machine vibe. Nice "ROG" etching on the glass. No issues with cable management and good volume for airflow. Not distracting at all while gaming. Don't notice it's there. Highly recommend at the $1800 price point. Either this or step up to a 10th gen / 2080 ti...

Excellent desktop for the money. Powerful components. The only problem is that this only has 16gb of memory on a single stick. Could not determine what brand. Tried upgrading to 32gb with 2 16gb Corsair memory. Computer recognizes the 32gb but I couldn’t get the memory to 3200 speed. Only 2666. Enabling XMP in bios did not help. The GPU is an Asus RTX 2080 super Turbo ( 1 cooling fan blow thru). Could not determine identification of motherboard. No user manual for motherboard! Due to the lack of motherboard manual and memory speed problem, I decided to build my own! Price is comparable to this desktop and the one I built. At least now I know exactly what I have. Memory speed problem might be due to brand of memory.

Fast, quiet, powerful, good value. Not a "serious gamer" but play enough to appreciate a good computer - fits all my needs and then much more.

Had to upgrade so I can play Microsoft flight simulator 2020. And I’m satisfied with the performance and graphics. Easy to upgrade if needed. And neat lighting on the box.
