Description
I use this PC for school, gaming, video editing and recreational use. This PC works exceptionally well and achieves high frame rates in 1080p High-Ultra settings. The PC stays rather cool with its 2 intake and 1 exhaust fan, plus a third party CPU cooler.

Part Reviews
CPU
Great processor, handles heavy games (like Battlefield 1) with ease.
CPU Cooler
Very good cooler, is worth the upgrade from the Intel Stock Cooler. Amazing RAM clearance. Looks great. Though was very annoying to install. CPU runs at around 34-38 degrees C when just on the desktop, (Windows 10 + about 10 programs running in the background). And about 50-55 degrees under load, which is about 10 degrees less than the stock cooler. (I live in Australia though, and we are in summer at the moment.)
Motherboard
This motherboard is very good for the price. It has M.2 support, it's sturdy, looks nice, low profile, great BIOS, good surge protection. Though the I/O shield is a joke and makes the motherboard very hard to install, and who puts a fan header in the middle of the motherboard?
Storage
Pretty good considering the price. The speed is acceptable but the HDD does struggle on some newer games like Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.
Video Card
Amazing price:performance. Stays cool and is powerful.
- PROS
- Low profile.
- Light up ASUS logo.
-
Very powerful.
-
CONS
- No back plate.
Case
Very good for the price.
Pros: -Looks good. -Nice side panel window. -Great airflow. -Room for big GPUs.
Cons: -Cable management is nearly impossible if you don't have a fully modular PSU. -The top of the HDD bay is visible in the window. -Only fits >150mm CPU coolers.
Operating System
Great OS with a lot of potential, but very buggy and annoying.
