Hard to answer the question without any idea as to what tasks it will be asked to perform ?
Overclocking ?
How Many GFX cards ?
Gaming, general use or Workstation ?
In the $125 - $200 price range for gaming rigs, I have to agree with the majority of reviewers and go with the MSI G45 (winner of over 40 awards) and the MSI GD-65 ...... The Asus Hero is pretty much on par with the GD-65 but the GD65 is $52 cheaper ...... more than $90 if ya get it in a combo.
