I'm a noob and in market for a low-mid end gaming PC. Any reason to not pull the trigger on this one? Can anyone help? How are the thermals?

Just buy it, the other answer guy isn't going to provide your warranty and tech support, let alone the time.

Yeah, I'm not tech savvy or diligent enough to learn how to build a PC by myself. Can you compare this deal to this open box $1400 one? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-o...Id=6482026

I wonder if it'd be worth to spend an extra $400 for it. TY.

Depends on your budget, the 3070 is certainly better if you can afford it.

The other has a better GPU. Probably better performance. So depends on your budget. In general I avoid the likes of HP, Dell ect. There use of proprietary components that cannot be replaced is infuriating. I don't know that ASUS didn't do the same, but they usually do not.

I'm confused by the USB port specs. ASUS's main product page says it has a few USB 3.2 Gen 2
Ports. But the detailed spec page says it only has Gen 1 ports.

Fan placement looks rough. This has to run hot.

There's a shockingly detailed review of this in the "review" section on the BB website that essentially says the cooling issues are problematic and as a result, it's just not up to par. Can't believe BB didn't take down the review.

I would suggest you just wait for one of the Dell sales to mix and match with an AMEX deal. You'll still have proprietary board complaints, but you'll probably be able to get a better rig for the same or less money. If you're not going to be replacing parts yourself, the proprietary board issue won't matter to you.

All depending on what resolution you want to play on, if you have a 1080p monitor get the 3060 to save couple hundred dollars, if you have a QHD or 2k or 1440p monitor with or without a high refresh rate get the 3070.
