Never buy a pre built PC. Always have some place like NCIX or Micro-center build it because otherwise you are wasting a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT of money.

It's not bad to be honest, but you could probably build one yourself for a little cheaper with slightly better specifications. That case they provide is unique however, to say the least; it looks great. Regardless, I'm not too sure on what PSU they supply, and whether it's decent or not. Also the motherboard, Z87 will not support the latest Broadwell processors when they are released, it only supports Haswell (not sure about future Devil's Canyon support.)

If you don't want to build you own computer, then yeah, the "ASUS ROG TYTAN G30AB-AU003S" looks great to be honest. But if you do want to build your own, you could improve in certain areas and still pay less than $1895; it's completely your call. If you'd like, I'll build a computer for you on PCPartPicker if you like (just reply back and state so), and I'll keep the price under $1895, yet find you a "good" looking case and parts.

But you won't find that Asus case separately, and it does look good; but internally I don't know if it offers cable management, tool-free HDD/SSD or whatever. It's not bad still for the price.

All the best.

Asus is not too bad for having similar priced Laptops or PCs compared to a Build using the same components...The ASUS G750JZ Gaming Notebook is a pretty competitively priced laptop I can't say the same for the Desktop you picked as never read anything about it really.

Prebuild computers could be harder to upgrade in the future than the ones you build yourself. Not impossible but possibly harder.
