ASUS Malaysia Launches ROG STRIX GL10CS – Affordable and Value-for-Money Gaming PC
ASUS Malaysia Launches ROG STRIX GL10CS
Together with the Zephyrus S GX701 and the GL12CX desktop, ASUS Malaysia has also launched the pocket-friendly ROG STRIX GL10CS gaming desktop. This one is aimed at those who wants to dive into the world of PC gaming but are under a budget.
The ROG STRIX GL10CS gaming desktop will be powered by either the Intel Core i7-8700 or the i5-8400 CPU, and either the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or the GTX 1050 2GB GPU. With up to 8GB DDR4 RAM which you can further upgrade by yourself, you will surely have plenty of power to run the latest games at Full HD resolution with ease.
For storage, you are guaranteed to have at least a 1TB 7200RPM HDD but for the mid-tier and top of the line specifications, you will be getting a speedy 128GB PCIe G3x2 NVMe SSD which will yield massive boosts in loading speed and boot up times.
ASUS has managed to fit in all of that into a compact 27-liter armour-like case. Of course, you can’t have a gaming setup these days without RGB lighting and yes, this will indeed have RGB lighting for the case. You can easily customize it using the ROG Armoury Crate software, and synchronize it with your other ROG gaming gears with Aura Sync.
