The Overclockers UK Radiance RZ is a well-balanced gaming PC that does a great job of showing off Asus components, with a top-tier motherboard, overclocked GTX 1060, AMD Ryzen 5 and plenty of RGB LEDs. Find our more in our full review.
The latest machine from Overclockers UK represents the first salvo in a partnership between the Staffordshire-based firm and Asus – and that means you get loads of good tech, but a hefty weight of expectation because of each company’s respective reputations. Find out the result in our full Radiance RZ review.
Radiance RZ: Price and availability
The Radiance RZ costs £1,499 from Overclockers UK, and it includes an Asus ROG Cerberus gaming mouse and mechanical keyboard. It’s also covered by the standard Overclockers UK warranty, which offers three years of collect-and-return and labour coverage.
As usual, the specification can be altered. You can pick from beefier processors, meatier graphics cards, alternative storage options and additional components like sound cards and Wi-Fi modules.
For a gaming PC, the price of £1,499 won’t break the bank, which bodes well for this mid-range gaming desktop – but it also brings the Radiance into a particularly busy area of the market.
The Acer Predator Orion 9000, for example, is a whopping £2,999. See more options in our best gaming PC chart.
Radiance RZ: Design and build
The Asus influence can be seen as soon as the chassis is heaved from its box. The NZXT Noctis is a ROG-branded case (republic of gamers) that comes in an exclusive shade of gunmetal grey and with Asus logos on its side panel.
The grey finish looks great, and the Noctis has eye-catching design elements. The front panel mixes angled panels of plastic with dark mesh that allows three 120mm fans to pull air into the case. At the top you get pairs of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports alongside more angled plastic and mesh, and the side panel provides a plastic window. Every material used throughout is sturdy.
