RawR! Considering my current rig was in the 4k range - this one is a little high

[1guy]

Eh thats nothing!
Theres several companies selling computers for 10.000 usd and up :'D

[KnowHow]

Pre-built computer?! Never.

[Menchie]

geez,my comps like £800,something like 1300-1500 USD,but heck,5699 USD is 'a little high',just

[Nowherz]

Well if I was rich and if I had to choose a pre-built rig at the moment, as Asus ROG desktop are kind of old now, I would choose an Alienware one. They are way much expensive than other PC without that much good reasons but, I said if I was rich so that would suppose that I do not really care about the price.
