Handles VR smoothly.

I didn't have time to build a machine to upgrade my VR system, so I decided to go with a pre-built and designed system. Figuring out all the dependencies and compatibility of parts from different vendors can take some time, which I didn't have. This machine offered an all-in-one solution with the latest graphics performance and the concise build I needed. I added a few USB3 cards to the system to handle the extra power and port count that VR systems sometimes require and aren't available on any motherboard, but that's the case with every system I've seen. The good news is that there are upgrade slots. My machine was built with a Zotac version GFX card and an MSI MB with a Toughpower PS of 850W, which is enough for USB power. It came with extra PS cables that weren't needed for the original build, so I didn't have to look for extras for the USB3 board. The extra work and storage space is also a plus. The only downside is that the 120mm case fans are a bit flimsy, but they can easily be swapped out for other fans if needed. Easily accessible power line for fan replacement. The machine is a bit expensive, but 3090 GFX cards are rare and expensive too.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared
