So I just bought a prebuilt computer..

So I bought a prebuilt gaming PC from newegg.

-AMD FX-8320 8 Core 3.5 GHz
-PowerColor PCS+Radeon R9 380 4GB
-8GB RAM
-2 TB Memory

Amazing specs for a prebuilt computer that was only $600
(I actually made the same exact build on PCpartpicker before I even found out about this PC and it was $600 as well).

It runs all my games at 60+ FPS and I'm really satisfied with it performance wise. Only problem is the case isn't that appealing. I'm an aesthetic person and looks of things are concerning to me. So I've been thinking of exchanging it for the Asus ROG G20 i5 version.

It's a bit of a downgrade specs and performance wise, but in return I get a sexy ass looking machine. Should I downgrade performance for physical appeal or should I just stick with my PC?

Btw the specs for the ASUS are:

Intel Core i5 4460 (3.2 GHz)
8 GB DDR3 1 TB+8 GB SSHD
Windows 8.1 64-Bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 2 GB

Would the difference be significant in comparison to the PC I own right now? PLUS you can customize the lighting of the hieroglyphics on the ASUS, sooooooo niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

If the performance downgrade isn't even significant, I just might do it.

The intel CPU is better, the GTX 750 is a MASSIVE downgrade.

For gaming stick with what you have...the GTX 750 doesn't come close to the performance of the R9 380.

Your best option may be to buy the case you want and then move all the parts from your old case to the new one. Then you will get the best of both worlds.

And you can sell the "old" case to somebody, or keep it as a backup.

So I'm probably sacrificing too much gaming performance for the looks huh

That can be an option, but I specifically love the G20's outlook and lighting.

That ROG 'looks cool'.
It is a crappy PC for the price.
It is a major downgrade.

Yes, by a long shot.

Alright, guess I'll stick widdit. I'll just pretend it looks nice. Thanks ^^

You shouldnt sell your pc for the sole purpose of changing the case .. just sell the case and buy a new one you like and keep the parts.

I would do that though because I'm a little weird.
