If you’re seriously into your tech, building your own gaming PC allows you to personally select every component to get things exactly the way you like. But when time is short and you just can’t wait to get started, prebuilt gaming PCs are an awesome alternative to get you up, running and playing quicksmart. Here, tech expert, reviewer, TV presenter and videographer Elly Awesome unboxes the ASUS ROG Strix G10DK gaming tower and breaks down its pros and cons.
Unboxing the Gaming Tower PC
The ASUS Republic of Gamers G10DK prebuilt PC isn’t actually too big. And when you open up the box you’ll see it also comes with a power cable, screws, a transparent side panel, ASUS manual and all the other documentation. But when you see the PC, you’ll just want to plug this baby in!

The ASUS ROG Strix’s Illuminated Interior
If you want to see what this prebuilt gaming PC looks like inside, you can take off the standard side panel before you install the transparent panel in its place. Chuck the power cable in the back and you’ve got some really nice RGB lighting going on in there. And it's gorgeous – it’s really cool that it has that option.
This Prebuilt Gaming PC is Packed With Features (and Ports)
There are lots of ports on this PC. Up top, there are two USB ports as well as a headphone jack. At the back, there’s plenty more going on – most notably, an HDMI port and heaps more USB ports.
This ASUS ROG Strix gaming PC tower has an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX1650 graphics card, a 512GB SSD internal storage capacity and, of course, Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities built in.
Inside Components of the ASUS ROG Strix
Taking a closer look inside the case of this gaming PC, I think the fans are a little on the small side for the gear that’s going to be running in there. As a result, what I think is going to happen is the fans might be a little loud if you’re trying to run some high-performance games.

The Verdict on the ASUS ROG Strix
There are plenty of people out there who just want a PC that is built for them and is ready to go for web browsing, assignments, coding and playing a couple of games on Steam. And the good thing about a prebuilt gaming PC is that even if it’s not exactly how you’d like it, you can upgrade it.
This kind of PC gives you a reasonable starting point for someone who just wants an all-rounder. Then maybe you can upgrade it later to play some more high-performance games.
