This cheap gaming PC from Asus offers reasonable 1080p pace and a solid CPU, but its other components, physical design and noise levels undermine its performance levels. Find out more in our full review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Asus ROG Strix GL10CS is a big-brand gaming PC with a budget price, decent specs and wide availability. That sounds great on paper, especially if you\u2019re looking for an affordable machie from a trusted name \u2013 rather than building it yourself, or buying from an unfamiliar manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is the Asus a bargain, though, or does this big-brand box fall behind its rivals? Find out in our full review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price & Availability
\nThe Asus\u2019 \u00a3849 price makes it one of the cheapest gaming desktops around. The machine reviewed here includes an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card and an Intel Core i5-9400F processor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several different specifications are available if this rig doesn\u2019t suit. A \u00a3799 version drops down to Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 graphics and ditches the SSD. Paying \u00a31,199 will get you a more powerful rig that reinstates the SSD and upgrades to RTX 2060 graphics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the USA, the Asus is configured slightly differently. The cheapest model, at $849, includes a Core i5 CPU and a GTX 1050 GPU. The $899 model upgrades to a Core i7 chip, and you\u2019ll have to pay $1,399 for a GTX 1660 Ti alongside that Core i7 processor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surprisingly, the Asus price compares well with machines from local companies \u2013 big-brand machines like this are usually more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the UK, machines with the GTX 1660 Ti start at \u00a3969 from Chillblast and \u00a3899 from PC Specialist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
more than $1,100 at CyberPower to get a desktop with the GTX 1660 Ti and a Core i5 CPU, although prices drop a little if you accept an older AMD chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
