I tried using PC as a console, it's not the same. Games are not optimized for the controller as smoothly as they are on the console. Also i am having constant issues with XboxOne controller and PC. Tried playing Lego Batman 3 and they game does not know how to recognize if i want to play alone or in 2 player mode. And you have to start a new game if you want to play in a different mode.

PC is not as optimized for the controller as a console is ( this is where you say duhhhhhhh)

Windows loves the xbox 360 controller. Use one of those. The XBONE controller literally JUST got drivers for windows. I play almost exclusively on my 2 xbox controllers, unless i'm playing a twitch shooter. I can't really read this comment without going "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"

On point with the article, I like all the silver stone cases that maingear carves their logo into, but an asrock x99 itx board sounds like trouble to me. I have no brand loyalty, but I've not had a single good experience with anything asrock.

Looks nice for a pre built. Pretty cool that you can actually have a octo core 5960X in mini itx now.

While those systems are nice, a homebuilt system with same specs is cheaper.

"Intel Core i7-5820K six-core processor (3.3 GHz/3.6 GHz), an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 graphics card with 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM"

Wouldn't a 960 with 2 GB be an extreme bottleneck for a six core i7 processor?

Just curious but the picture of the blue case in the middle isn't that a Corsair 250D?

As far as I can tell, none of these builds make any sense, but yes, especially so with that Potenza. Any builder who suggests a $1900 gaming computer that's running the OS on a 1TB HDD, 8 GB of ram, and a GTX 960 should have their builder's license revoked imho. Put that $1900 into a Z97 system and you'll basically double every benchmark of that ill-conceived Potenza. Seems Toms has news about this absurd ASRock motherboard every few days recently. I get that it's interesting in a "shoe phone" sort of way, but I can only hope this is the last story about this silly side-show.

I can't say anything about this asrock board, but I have had great luck with several asrock mbs that I currently run, one of which is an x79.
