I've always built my gaming rigs in the past, but after price checking the components its actually cheaper just to buy this one pre-built. I was sceptical though, I didmt know what to expect or what performance level it would be capable of. However, with Asus's over clocking software I have mine running at a very stable 5ghz getting 70 to 100 fps in most games. Arma 3, which is notoriously sluggish and poorly optimized, runs anywhere between 30fps and 100fps at max settings and 7km view distance. The fps range depends on how many mods are run and what map is loaded, but thats actually highly impressive. I highly recommend this rig. It's tremendous value for the money. The computer came fully assembled, no loose wires or plugs like some have mentioned. Drivers were easily installed. But I do recommend making a bootable disc once all drivers are installed since there's no windows boot disc included.
