Asus ROG Strix G15DK Gaming PC (G15DK(SPNL)-BSR77-CB)
This model ranked #5 among Stationary Computers priced over $2000 in terms of bang-for-the-buck.
This gaming PC packs a few impressive bells and whistles, making sure you have what you need to run the most demanding games at their best.
Other Considerations
Here are a few things about this Stationary Computer which could come as a surprise. For each point, you will find how to fix it (if it's an issue) and how much to budget for it. Not every point below will be a concern, but hopefully, we can keep your surprises to a minimum.
Slow storage. Once started, this Stationary Computer should perform ok, however, expect it to take some time to start up, launch programs and open large documents. This could potentially be fixed by replacing the hard drive with a faster component but I couldn't confirm that it is indeed an option in this case.$60+
Speakerless. This Stationary Computer needs external speakers to play sounds. Your options are to hook it up to a TV or a monitor with built-in speakers, use external speakers or a headset.$30+
No Camera or Microphone. If your plans include skyping with family members or playing with your friends online, you would need a webcam or, for best results, a headset and microphone.$40+
Screenless. If you don't already have a monitor from your last computer, you could connect this Stationary Computer to a TV or get a new monitor.$120+
No Optical Drive. If you still use CDs, DVDs, or Blu-Ray disks on a regular basis, you will need an external drive to read them with this Stationary Computer.$30+
Assuming you are starting over fresh, you can expect to spend $320 on accessories, for a total cost of $2520.
