Falcon Computers Predator Gaming PC Review

We are impressed with the hardware components that Falcon has selected for the Predator. They have managed to strike a good balance between processing and gaming performance, without using unreasonably expensive components.  They have also used branded components throughout, reassuring us of the quality of the system as a whole.

The system is built inside an Aerocool Xpredator X3 case in white, which is quite an unusual choice.  Most other PC manufacturers would opt for a better known branded case, such as those from Corsair or Bitfenix, so this differentiates the Predator from the competition.  The case is fairly competent in function and has a striking design as well.

In our tests the Predator performed very well indeed and it demonstrated impressive capabilities.  Even though Falcon doesn't overclock the Predator to the same degree as some manufacturers this has a benefit when it comes to temperatures under load and subsequent fan noise.  The Predator was completely stable throughout all of our tests, remaining cool and quiet at all times.

The Falcon Predator costs £1,399 including VAT as tested.  We configured a similar system from Overclockers UK, as well as a bundle of the exact components that are in this system and both came out at a very similar price to the Falcon Predator system.  The Predator is a great option for those who don't want the hassle of building their own system.
