Benchmarks
* Unigen Heaven: 144-303 FPS (basic/extreme presets)
* Cyberpunk 2077: 100-148 FPS (high / Nvidia app optimized settings)
* Horizon Zero Dawn: 95-157 FPS (Ultimate Quality / Nvidia app optimized settings)
* Fortnight: 157~170 FPS (default settings), 220~250 FPS (performance settings)
Built with standard ATX parts for easy upgrades and maintenance - I can easily add more storage, faster wifi or Ethernet, more USB ports, a webcam & capture card for streaming, and more! The optional 16GB Radeon GPU upgrade can add about 15% more performance while also avoiding VRAM bottlenecks at higher settings.
Also great for simulation, creative work, streaming, web browsing, office/school work, and more.
Includes a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro, activated, with a local account, and the latest updates, drivers, and BIOS installed. I ran O&O ShutUp10++ to disable some of the built-in Windows advertising/tracking/annoyances, and installed Firefox with a few addons to make the internet better (uBlock Origin, SponsorBlock, Snowflake).
There are lots of RGB lights in the system; the smaller button on the top cycles the fan and case lights through a series of colors and patterns. The motherboard lights can be controlled via the BIOS or Asus Armory Crate software. The included mouse automatically cycles through colors, and the Scroll Lock controls the keyboard lights. The optional RAM and mouse upgrades can be controlled through the Corsair iCue app. I'm not sure if the GPU light strip can be customized.
(I could also swap in a non-rgb keyboard and mouse, although if RGB isn't your thing then you should probably have me build a completely different computer for you.)

My son and I build and upgrade computers together, so if this isn't the right one for you, we can help you find something that is a better fit. With a few upgrades, we can often get Windows 11 to run on older computers that aren't officially supported. Or if you're ready for something new, we can assemble a system to match your needs and budget.
