The ASUS desktop is configured by ASUS themselves sporting the ASUS Aura RGB feature. The ROG themed desktop is the most expensive build showcased in the event and comes with the latest G.skill Trident Z RGB RAM modules. This desktop also gives you the complete package from PC components to peripherals. What’s missing is just a headset or a speaker.
Worx Challenger Desktop

Lastly, we dive in to the PCWORX’s custom pre-built desktop, the Worx Challenger. Based from its specs and from our hands-on testing at the event area, their pre-built desktop can not just handle 1080p 60fps gaming, but it can also drive a 144hz panel. Whats also good about this build is the 240GB SSD to ensure fast loading times, the only downside I can see in this build is the underwhelming Trendsonic 600watt power supply.
