Hey Everyone...
I Got a simple question!
Is "ASUS ROG G20BM BH003S Gaming Desktop Computer" is Good Enough for gaming?
I'm not really familiar with the AMD products. and I Heard that It's CPU is not that good enough?!
I wanted to know If it does really worth it to buy or I should build my own customized case?
about the GPU... I've seen some comparison and it's quite a bit faster than GTX 960. I don't know If it's true or not or does it work on this case with these cpu and ram and other parts or not???
here's It's Rig in case you didn't know:
.
Processor(CPU): FX-770K | 4 Cores | 4 Threads | 4MB Cache | 64-bit 3.5 GHz Up to 3.9 in Turbo Mode
.
Ram: A single 8 Gigabytes
.
VGA: AMD Radeon R9 380 2GB
.
HDD: 2TB Hybrid + 8GB SSD
.
ODD: DVD-RW
.
OS: Windows 8.1
.
Thanks Everybody!

Well, It's a pretty okayish system.

You could do worse, you could do better.

It's fine for gaming, as it's equivalent to all the others in the FX series like the 6300 and 8300 in terms of "game" performance.

It's never "worth it" to buy a pre-built unless it's a laptop because you can't build those. Prebuilts are always about 20-30% of the money you spend going to the brand, and that's usually a large chunk of change that can be used to vastly improve the system if you were to build it yourself.

Cases don't matter.

It is faster than the 960, but there are a few minor differences in things like driver support/updates that can make a 960 perform better in certain games than the 380 would. If it's a prebuilt all the parts will work...

You can go to PCPartpicker.com and enter in the exact components that are in the prebuilt (assuming that the information is available), to see how much of a premium you are paying for the "Brand Name". One other thing to consider is that most pre-builts use a low quality Power Supply that may not last very long and could damage other components.
