    You can't beat this PC for price/value...I worked in I.T. for 20 years and have been building computers for even longer than that, but this Asus is smoking!...I could not purchase the parts and put it together for what I bought this for at Best Buy...With 16GB of Ram, a 512GB SSD and the 6GB Nvidia GTX graphics card it's the bomb...I also love the 2 super fast USB 3.1 ports and the 4 USB 3.0 ports along with the 4 USB 2.0 ports, PLUS Bluetooth and WiFi; NICE!...The cool lighted case and lighted keyboard with the mouse are also nice touches!...All in all, a great value for the money...It's a very nice PC that's full of features that work for gaming, video editing, or programming...I am really enjoying this PC, good job ASUS!.......

    I bought this pc as a gift to myself and I turned out better than what I thought. For gaming? The best! I play online FPS games and it runs all my games with great grafics, super fast, even my oculus rift games, there's no crashes, no lag, no weird grafics, it's perfect. Although at the beginning when I first bought it, two times I made close my profile from the task tool because the pc crashed twice while i was plugging my headphones, but it hasn't happened any more. Plus, I also make YouTube videos with "Camtasia Studio 9" and this pc runs my videos SUPER great so if you need a gaming computer this will be your best friend.

    I read many reviews before I made my purchase of the Asus G11 but I can confirm that this is an excellent machine and a great value. It's more than enough to run most games at high or very high settings, plenty of ram, and a great video card. I combined my G11 with dual Samsung CF591 27" curved monitors and a Razor Blackwidow Tournament Edition mouse and keyboard to complete my gaming setup. For the money I don't believe you can do better then the G11. Highly recommended!

    It was time for me to buy a new desktop because I want to bring my photography hobby to the next level. After doing a lot of research, I decided that an entry level gaming pc would be perfect; allowing me to view my photos and dive into Photoshop and other editing software, and allow me to upgrade if/when needed. I have always been a HP girl but every time I entered the specs I was looking for, this Asus kept popping up. So I decided to take the plunge and give it a try. It has been nearly three months since buying this Asus desktop and I have been very happy with it. Start up and opening programs is very quick, the desktop is very quiet compared to my older desktop, and unlike HP, Asus does not bog you down with unwanted software pop ups. It also plays videos with no problem and photo editing has been great. Also, it is nice to know that if I wanted to, I could play a game here and there. So at this time, I am very happy with my new desktop and highly recommend!

    I have built about 20 computers over the past 25 years, so I have some idea about what goes into a well-built machine. This one has all I need, and it is reasonably fast, with a decent 6GB video card, a 1TB conventional hard drive, and a 512 GB SSD. Everything worked right out of the box. I am still loading software, but so far, all is good. No complaints or problems. It gets high marks from me. I could not have built a similar machine for the same money. Not even close.

    I had wanted to build my own PC, but the bitcoin mining craze left the video cards I wanted out of a reasonable price range and time simply ran out when my old desktop workhorse finally died. This one was on sale and had awesome specs that met my needs - dual HDs, plenty of RAM, great video card, etc. Setup was a breeze and I haven't had any issues with it.

    I couldn’t resist the price of $849 in Feb 2017!!! I couldn’t build this rig for that purchase price! I was way due for a new gaming rig and this model didn’t disappoint me at all with its 512 SSD & GeForce 1060 card. It’s also VR ready for when I start to dabble with that technology more.

    I was previously using an ASUS G20AJ and it just started having too many issues. One of the main things that I wish was better about this is the clock speed. 2.7Ghz has been fine but when my 3yr old G20AJ is running 3.4 I think these guys could have done better. I could always switch the CPUs. Lol. So far though this thing is doing what I hoped it would with it's GTX 1060. Runs all games on High or Ultra settings with ease. Only sometimes to I run into tearing or loading issues with ARK. Most of the time it's fine. All other games, Overwatch, World of Tanks, League of Legends, CS:GO, Warframe, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Tom Clancy's The Division have all run on max settings with ease. Worth a buy, especially at the eight hundred I paid

    I bought this mainly for the graphic card. This computer exceeding my expectation completely. I have been playing many new games at full settings with no problems. The graphics are just beautiful. The Solid State drive combine with tradition Hard Drive is just great. It really speeds up various programs while allowing large storage capacity for files that don't need quick access compared to other like video games. My only issue is that its using Windows 10 as I would have rather had Windows 7. I recommend anyone get this if they want gaming pc.

    I have had this PC for a couple weeks now and it hasn't failed me yet, the processor is the weakest part of this system, but I haven't had a problem with it and the 16gb of ram helps me multitask more and I can run every game I play on the highest settings like H1Z1,MGSV,GTAV,Overwatch, R6 Siege, etc. I recommend this to anyone who wants a great PC with the 512gb SSD that has worked wonders and has sped up my loading times in games I put on it, it does seem a little pricy, but I got this when it was on sale for $900 which was a great deal!

    I did a lot of research before I purchased this computer. I did a lot of comparison and realized that this was the best gaming system for the price. The video card has plenty of memory and one of the best on the market. Most other systems have a 256 ssd in them but this one has a 512 ssd!! Asus is the leader in gaming systems!! Great buy!

    I found this system to be reasonably priced for a solid set of specs. Definitely meets the needs of any 1920x1080 pc gamer with its GTX 1060 (6GB) along with its solid cpu and 16GB of RAM. As an added bonus it even includes a larger than average 512GB SSD. Another thing of note is the system remains fairly quiet, even under load.

    Absolute beast on a bargain

    I've been building gaming PCs for the last 8 years, my current gaming setup cost a little under $3K when I initially built it all. However with that being said, I purchased this desktop for my girlfriend. On sale, for $899, you simply can not beat this. I spent hours setting up a PC build to compare to this, and even if I ordered all the parts myself, set up everything myself, I still would have been paying over $950 before taxes and shipping (not to mention the time it would take to build and set up). The price for this PC on sale is too good to pass up. Price aside, digging into the performance of the machine it's built extremely well. The 512GB SSD included isn't the fastest SSD on the market, but it certainly beats out the budget SSDs I've purchased over the years. The included 1TB HDD is a fine HDD. The CPU does more than enough work for gaming, and honestly should be fine even if you upgrade the GPU. My favorite part about this pre-built PC though is the 1060. The new 10 series is extremely power efficient and a 1060 is more than enough to game at 1080p, max settings. This card will last for years to come. The only con I can think of is the fact that the CPU cooler is just a stock cooler and you can't overclock the CPU. But honestly that's something you should never expect to get from a pre-built. All in all, this PC is amazing for the price, not to mention the build quality is superb.

    I and my brothers purchased this product when it was open box. For the discount we got a great deal, it can run anything we throw at it on ultra settings including Total war and Arma 3. It runs super fast and has had no issues after a month and a half.

    Very nice machine, 16 gigs of RAM, 6 GB video card NVIDIA 1060, 512 SSD plus a 1 TB drive. No problems running power director or Davinci for video editing. Fast compilation time. Battle Field 1, GTA5 - no problem. Flight simulators - no problem. You will not be able to build this for less IF you catch it on sale.
