The INTEL i5 Tremor, An overclocked CPU and a super-fast SSD make this a tempting proposition - PC PRO/ALPHR "it’s fair to say that Palicomp has achieved Core i7 performance for the price of a Core i5". Put together for PC PRO/ Alphr to review, we believed that pure performance for the lowest price was what to aim. Getting 4 out of 5 Stars we were happy with the results of the review, unfortunately one of the downfalls was the noise levels, for majority of people you would not find that the noise levels are too high, however we have found that a few minor upgrades could make this system a near Silent system, see below recommendations. The upgraded Coffee Lake Intel i5 9600K which we have overclocked to 4.6Ghz is giving near performance levels to what we would expect the i7 to include. Now included is the PRIME Z270-P motherboard from ASUS is coupled with 16GB of DDR4 RAM which is plenty for any of today's applications. There's also the latest M.2 technology included with a 256GB which is an improvement over a standard SSD, this alongside a spacious 2TB purely for storage - for everyday use and gaming. On the graphical side of things we used the AMD RX 460 4GB, this plays all games on the market at more or less that top frame rates. We decided to house it all in the ThermalTake H25 case which we have found to be attractive with excellent features. Its a perfect system as an all-round household desktop gaming system. A Samsung 24X DVD+/-RW drive included to take care of all reading and burning needs for CD's and DVD's. Supplied with Windows 10, 8.1 or 7 64Bit fully installed as standard ready to go out of the box and the disc is provided for future re-installations.
