Please report any spam you see, as its an ongoing issue - let us know what you think of the system build and price - did they get it right? if not, what do you think they did wrong, let us know in the comments below.

Corsair galore inside it - good stuff, like them

[enzo]

AWD IT are good, they really looked after my cousin lately when things went wrong, I recommend them to anyone in UK

[rsbansal]

Those new fans are great, I would have to rip them out and put in new fans to make it all look proper

[Austin]

Thanks Mat, good review - fair - and the fans would get on my nerves, they should be matched

[maxrobe]

The only thing I can say about Stoke on Trent is seeing, (in the 90'), Paul Darrow in a stage version of Guards Guards. His Blake 7 Avon smile you could see across the theater. Twaz awesome.

I do not know what people are complaining about, the price seems fine on todays market from what I can see

[anthonyward]

I have that motherboard, its pretty decent, first ASUS mobo I have bought, usually stuck with MSI, but got a deal on it around black friday

[bashirsjah]

That ASUS board is good, my bro has it, worked well for him. I wouldnt worry about the SSD - id rather than 2TB than 1TB of the latest standard, wont make any odds of difference for gaming

[joshuav.d.]

I dont know the fixation on the Gen 4-5 drive is really that critical for a gaming system, its like going to make 1 second of a difference to game load times

[mikemarshall]

Thanks Mat, good review - I would always have to build my own, maybe when I get older and have kids I wouldnt have time

[Edward]

3 year warranty is pretty good - you build your own, you are left on your own - guess how much that is worth to you will vary

[Daniel-zlim]

My SSD is around 1GB/s - saying you need 5GB/s as ‘standard’ seems a bit harsh - but fair enough ! my system clearly cant play soliatre !

[pogologo]

AWD-IT I thought it was AMD making the systems for a minute, never heard of them - seems not bad tbh

[huxley]

The SSD is fine man, nothing wrong with those speeds for gaming - how fast do you think games transfer data? its literally a few seconds max - Fans did trigger me though

[kiara]

I am waiting on Ryzen 9 to appear this week to check out new build prices, these will all drop

[jamest]

I dont know, 95c and 45dBa seems pretty poor to me - its hot and loud, but the hardware is good, looks like it needs set up better !

[elizalopez]

I like the case - I hear its quite expensive though for what you get

[federicopace]

I wish it had a 4080, but i suppose that would have pushed the price up to over 2k

[weston]

That ASUS board was a failure for me, mine died in a few months and luckily I got it replaced, but sold it and am waiting to get a new board later this year
