Deal Details
Was in for a fast enough PC to play fortnite with my kid and found this. Strangely, no post on SD yet.

The specs are good on paper, and it indeed serves me well for the last 2 days. It has showy LEDs which can be turned off, 2 SSDs, 1TB each. Overkill liquid cool CPU with fans at the top. Case has a handle so you can throw it when you lose Big Grin. ASUS bloatware did not bother me like MSI's

- 2nd 1TB SSD and RAM have no heatsink,
- Graphic card hides most of the PCIe slots (it has 4, one visible),
- The mainboard supports 64GB DDR5 max (on spec sheet, on service manual it says 128GB max)
- No WiFi 7 (like the newest MSI Codex R2, which I returned)

I'm still within return window, if you find something better with the same price range, please please let me know Big Grin

I've looked around. DIY costs more. 4060 costs less but given other upgrades (I7, 32 DDR5 and 2TB SSD) this price is the best (to me).

OP is it DDR5 or DDR4 in yours? Under "Show Full Specs" on BB website it shows DDR5, but under "Features" it says DDR4.

The inside of this thing looks like a crowded mess. I just bought an IBP Y40 for about the same that's roomy and very clean and most important lots of moving air.

to OP, there is nothing strange about the omission of this "deal" on SD. This should be equipped with a 4070 12GB card or better the 4070 SUPER, that would make it a lot more slick and better for future.

if you just messing w/ Fortnite, I think just get PS5 and save yourself money.

The cpu gpu combo in this thing doesn't need that much air. Even liquid cool is overkill but it looks kinda cool to me anw

I found no 4070 combo in this price range. Even on SD. I just need a non laggy fortnite device that can do other things so I opted for this. Also, the kid already taken the xbox so no PS5 for me

This CPU-GPU combo doesn't make sense. I'd rather have an older gen CPU and a better GPU for the same money. Even RTX 3080 would absolutely destroy this build.

This case runs hot, if you are willing to get a bigger case it will perform well.
