Had my new PC for almost 2 weeks now so thought it would be good to add a review
Have been wanting to upgrade for a while now and ended up making the purchase because my laptop decided that the best time to die would be the week my coursework was due so I opted for one of the next day systems.
I actually really like the specs of it, the only thing I would change however is the network adapter but that's quite an easy part to replace
Specs
Case: PCS SR-628B RGB GAMING CASE
Processor: (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard ASUS® PRIME B450-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.1, 6Gb/s) - RGB Ready!
Memory (RAM):16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2400MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card: 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060 - HDMI, DP - VR Ready!
1st Storage Drive: 1TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 64MB CACHE
1st M.2 SSD Drive: 256GB ADATA SX6000 Pro PCIe M.2 2280 (2100 MB/R, 1200 MB/W)
DVD/BLU-RAY: Drive NOT REQUIRED
Power Supply CORSAIR 450W VS SERIESTM VS-450 POWER SUPPLY
Power Cable 1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling PCS FrostFlow 120 Series RGB High Performance Liquid Cooler
Thermal Paste STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
LED Lighting 50cm RGB LED Strip
Sound Card: ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Wireless/Wired Networking: WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD
USB/Thunderbolt Options MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS
Just my luck However that the day after I ordered it they dropped the price of it by £10
The box had a very minor dent however I'm sure this happens to a lot of packages. Arrived exactly when it said it would be so I wasn't stuck waiting around
The Computer itself performs amazingly, especially compared to what I had been using before, I'm actually able to play my entire steam library now. The startup time has been really impressive too, not sure why I didn't go for an SSD years ago
The RGB lights in the case look great, but it's a shame that the fans don't sync with asus aura and are instead controlled using an RF Wireless remote
Two of the led's on each fan also seem to be slow to update meaning that they noticeably lag behind making any two color preset not usable
However this isn't as noticeable while using the rainbow default
Overall very happy with the system
