The Falcon Project X VR Ready Gaming PC is a mid-range PC that attempts to provide ample gaming power inside a chassis that’s impressively compact – and for a price that undercuts most of its competition. We give you the full low-down on this system to let you know if it is worth buying.

This £1,150 rig serves up processing grunt from a second-generation AMD Ryzen chip, and it’s paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card plus solid memory and storage options. And, impressively, Falcon allows for loads of customisation on its website – so it’s easy to change the parts if they don’t take your fancy.

Viglen Incepta Professional RX (w/ Ryzen 2700 & RX 560) https://www.kitguru.net/desktop-pc/mike-jennings/viglen-incepta-professional-rx-w-ryzen-2700-rx-560/ https://www.kitguru.net/desktop-pc/mike-jennings/viglen-incepta-professional-rx-w-ryzen-2700-rx-560/#respond Sat, 26 May 2018 09:13:27 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=373267 You may remember Viglen from way back - we review their £999 Incepta Professional RX PC

The post Viglen Incepta Professional RX (w/ Ryzen 2700 & RX 560) first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
The Viglen Incepta Professional RX is a £999 system that’s taking aim at business users – and it’s locked and loaded a brand-new AMD Ryzen 2 chip to take the fight to the competition. With an RX 560 as well, could it prove to be a solid all-rounder?

This sub-£1,000 machine takes an unusual approach by pairing the AMD processor with an AMD graphics card – the former isn’t a shock, but the latter is a surprise in a market dominated by Nvidia.

Nevertheless, this machine promises a good punch of power inside a case that’s quiet and subtle. Let’s find out if it can deliver.

Specifications:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (3.2Ghz – 3.9GHz, overclocked to 4GHz)
  • CPU cooling: Alpenfohn Brocken ECO
  • Motherboard: Asus Prime B350-PLUS
  • Memory: 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury Black 3,200MHz DDR4
  • Graphics Chipset: AMD Radeon RX 560 4GB
  • Storage: 250GB Western Digital Blue SSD, 1TB Western Digital Blue HDD
  • Case: In-Win 101
  • Front ports: 2 x USB 3, 2 x audio
  • Rear ports: 6 x USB 3.1, 2 x USB 2.0, 1 x Gigabit Ethernet, 1 x PS/2, 3 x audio
  • Networking: Gigabit Ethernet
  • Power supply: Corsair CX650M
  • Operating system: Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit
  • Warranty: 1yr RTB

Total cost £999 inc vat.

AMD, AMD, and a little more AMD. Yes, AMD are the topic of conversation for our opinionated hero LEO this week. He discusses their recent Ryzen 2 launch, upcoming products and the departure of some key people from the company. Good news is that we are happy to see Sasa Marinkovic get a promotion inside AMD – he is a very intelligent chap, with bags of charm as well. I have met him a few times and he seems like a very genuine person. Trust me, that is a rare feeling to get from a key executive in a major tech company within this industry.

00:10 Introduction and early musings
00:36 Nvidia GPP – Dell and HP
03:27 AMD has launched 2nd Gen Ryzen. Ryzen 7 2800X in the pipeline?
04:37 Ryzen 2 samples – tested by AMD beforehand? mmm.
07:45 The AMD briefing! Yay!
17:39 Chris Hook and Roy Taylor leave, Sasa Marinkovic takes over
21:32 AMD Navi due in 2019
