Nice.
Only concern I would have if I was considering this unit is furture upgrades i.e. does it use non-standard parts (motherboards, half-hight video cards, power supply, etc). You may be OK as Asus has a pretty big share of the PC componant market, unlike a company like Dell (i.e. notorious for using non-ATX standard motherboards and power suppiles).

All the Dell's I've seen use standard ATX stuff (or mATX)?
Red flag on the Asus for me is the bit where it talks about the network card optimizing gaming traffic - thats some marketing BS right there.

Recent Dells true. Not so much in the past.
And yeah, the network card optimization stuff is pretty useless. My current motherboard has a built-in "Killer" network card. It's a decent network card, but the prioritzation routines don't really help all that much...at least for the stuff I play....so I don't use it as anything more than a standard network card. :lol

how well does it run AH Goat?

That kind of a solution is buy it, use it, discard it. Zero upgrade options. But I guess its fine for anyone who doesn't want to spend 15 minutes learning how to build your own. It seriously doesn't take more than that.

Yeah...that's my fear. I think I'll just get him a mobo and CPU combo. Cheaper too. :)

Runs real good, getting a solid 60fps with all graphics selected, ordered a 144hz monitor which should be delivered tomorrow.

I'm tempted to get one. I need to replace the one I use to run my TV and I'd love to be able to fly fighter sorties while I climb in bombers.

Truer words have never been spoken.
