Giant desktop features one-click overclocking option and latest Nvidia graphics card; on sale across Asia for S$2,250 ($1,839) and S$5,900 ($4,825).

Asus' new line of gaming PCs are on sale right now in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia, the company announced today.

The S$5,900 ($4,825) CG8890 ROG TYTAN CG8890 and S$2,250 ($1,839) ROG TYTAN CG8480 run on the Windows 8 operating system platform. The CG8890 features a one-click overclocking option powered by its six-core Intel Core i7-3960X processor. This allows gamers to dynamically overclock the computer's processor at three different settings without rebooting the system.

The CG8890 also contains the Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 graphics card, a card that melds together two of the companies most powerful Kepler chips on a single board. That makes it the most powerful and most expensive in the current GeForce lineup at $1000. Coupled with a 3TB hard disk, the computer will set gamers back S$5,900 ($4,825).

The CG8480 also has a one-click overclocking feature that makes use of its four-core Intel Core i7-3770K. The computer contains an Nvidia GT640 graphics card and 2TB hard disk space. Gamers will have to fork out S$2,250 ($1,839) for the whole package.

The prices scare me.

 

Like the others have said, pre-built PCs are a no go. You can build a next gen worthy PC for like 800-1000 dollars.

"The computer contains an Nvidia GT640" My blender probably have more GPU processing power than this "gaming PC" lol. And for $1,839 you can get yourself a beast with GTX670 if assemble rig from selected parts.

Final word - never buy premade gaming rig!

"... run on the Windows 8 operating system platform"

 

Don't really see that as a selling point, myself. :|
