Any good pre-built compact gaming PC recommendations?

[Sumanji]

Hey,

I'm thinking about an off-the-shelf compact gaming PC - something like an MSI Vortex or Asus ROG G20. I would also consider similarly specced AIO systems.

What are your general opinions on these systems? Any specific make/model which gets highly rated?

Cheers,

Su

Thanks for the recommendations, aatu!

I definitely know that I would be paying above odds, but I really want something that I can throw in a suitcase and take to another country if need be.

I'll take a look at the ZBOX, seems like that could be a good route to go.

Cheers,

Su

Came across the Alienware Alpha R2, and I think it's pretty much exactly what I want...

However, since it only just came out a couple of months back with the 960, it feels shortsighted to buy one now, given that the 1060 is pretty much twice as quick at the same TDP!

I wonder if there are any comparable machines from other vendors in the pipeline with the 1060 +/- Kaby Lake?

[edit 2] Still wouldn't mind exploring AMD alternatives as well... always have a soft spot for the red team
