Keeping with the cube theme, this system bumps up the specs relative to the PLE system, and the price. Coming in almost 70% dearer than the PLE system, do you get 70% more computer?

On the CPU front, despite a thread count deficit the two extra real cores do help the 9400F maintain a general 30%-50% speed bump in games.

The graphics card also cranks up the muscle, to the point where you can almost play any game at 1080p with decent graphical settings enabled and – depending on the title –smooth 1440p gameplay is also achievable.

An NVMe SSD, dual channel 16GB memory and a high-quality portable case make for a system that is worth the cash.
