This is the third system that I purchased, attempting to replace my trusty old Alienware Aurora R7.  This is a beat of a machine with great potential in terms of expandability and lifespan - not to mention the immediate performance benefits that I gain now!  Fortunately - I had some extra RAM, 16GB is a little low for this type of system - but having RAM and extra 2.5" SSD's around that were perfectly good - I was happy to put my money into more important features like the 8-core 10th Gen i7 Processor, the Wi-Fi 6 capability and the great graphics card.  The tempered glass side panel is, I must admit, a nicety - but with the Aurora lighting effects, it's great to have a machine that's as good looking as it is performing!!  Another great Asus product.  (My Router is Asus - which works nicely for packet prioritization, too!!)  (Disclosure - Asus does offer warranty extensions on a random basis for Review submissions)  Oh, and it comes with a ~$130 Asus ROG Strix Flare keyboard (RGB) and an RGB wired mouse - the Asus Gladiuss II gaming mouse.  The mouse was nice - the keyboard is amazing.  Fluid keystrokes MX Blue keys - simply icing on the cake for a new workstation.
