Unless you are ready to spend another $300-400 to reinstall everything to a normal case,to buy a 240 or 360 AIO-DON'T BUY IT...
Mine was restarting every 30 min...I end up returning this PC and got this(with a 10% off coupon):

Much better prebuild...
This PC is a good deal for parts, but it gets way way way too hot and it's insanely loud. It has a tiny exhaust fan in the back and a tiny cheap air-cooler which is just not even close to enough. No intake fans! Stupid.
That being said, for me, I still went with it because I had some BB in store credit to use towards it, and I've always wanted to build my own PC so I scratched that itch by case swapping this to a much better case and a much better air cooler.
I went with a Be quiet pure base 500dx, and a be quiet shadow rock 3. So 150 extra dollars and now I have a really quiet and cool PC. If you don't mind doing that and voiding your warranty, this is a great deal.
The GPU in mine was 3080 tuf OC, NOT LHR. The picture shows a blower 3080 inside, which fortunately is not the case. The tuf is one of the best cards you can get.
The PSU is a Great Wall unit, it's basically the same thing as the Corsair RM850 gold PSU. Even uses the same cables with Corsair markings on it.
I don't know if I'd spend $2000 on this, but if you want something right now, it's not the worst thing you can buy. This is leagues better than the garbage dell and HP sell at this price.

I bought this when it first dropped at $1900 and immediately replaced the case with a SAMA IM01 and the cooler with a ID cooling se224 xt. added a ton of arctic p12 fans and came out with a really good build for only about 130 more.
Stock cooler is a terrible 90mm 4 pipe fan that will throttle the cpu at 100C under any moderate load.
At a minimum you should expect to replace the case and cooler if you buy this. the case is shit tier and is so thin you won't be able to fit any respectable air cooler on top.

I decided to get a meshify 2 compact case and a kraken 280mm AIO cooler. CPU is 50-55 during gaming now. That cost me about $280 but you can go with a $100 AIO cooler and get similar performance. I got the kraken Z63.
Also put a 92mm top exhaust bequiet fan as well. The Asus case is nice in that it is quite compact. Think I will disable the rgb lights in the front as it isn't really my thing.
ONLY GPU IS GOOD HERE...
