Intel’s “Skylake-X” and “Kaby Lake-X” processors were launched this summer, as part of the company’s latest Core X-Series processors for enthusiasts. (For reference, see our analysis of the Intel Core i9-7900X, which is the latest top-of-the-line chip available at the time of writing in late July.) And, predictably, Asus has already released at least seven…
It’s much simpler to build a PC in a large ATX case than it is to build one in a tiny Mini-ITX case. However, it’s easy to see that so many gamers are tempted: A gaming PC in a Mini-ITX case is simple to transport to a friend’s house or to fit into a little…
The Asus ROG Strix B350-F Gaming motherboard was a good board for its time, but it should have been more. With the ROG Strix B450-F Gaming board, Asus has attempted to renovate the space, adding support for AMD’s StoreMI software storage acceleration technology, which intelligently transfers data from a hard drive to an SSD, as…
If motherboards were classified according to their economic status, Asus’ $299.99 ROG Strix Z490-E Gaming will be an upper-middle-class aspirant driving an imported SUV with golf clubs in the back.

You don’t have to spend too much money on a well-made, wheeled, recliner gaming chair. Though GTRacing’s squeaky, $180 Pro GT099 chair series disappointed us, the company’s Ace M1 line…
The 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ identified itself as one of the most versatile and valuable gamepads on the market two years ago. It was compatible with a variety of systems, including the PC and Nintendo Switch, offered a plethora of adjustment choices for button mapping and analog stick sensitivity, and came in a variety of retro…
SecretLab has long been our favorite maker for nailing the sweet spot between price and build quality in traditional (high-backed, lever-reclining, non-mesh) gaming chairs. Nonetheless, AndaSeat shocked us last year with a comparable chair that featured Spider-profile. Man’s The AndaSeat Spider-Man Edition Marvel Collaboration gaming chair wasn’t for everybody, but it demonstrated that the organization…
