Hi all tech experts,

Personally using kraken x63, so far so good. What case are you using ? You can still get the previous gen x series if the orientation of logo isnt a concern.

x52, x62 are all still good and comes with 6 years warranty if budget is not a concern. Otherwise you can consider the cosair series. btw, are you overclocking your cpu ? If not, can better spend the money on premium air coolers. But must see if you have the clearance anot

i think TS is referring to AIO computers not AIO coolers

@TS: you can consider a mini-itx/itx build if space is a concern. not sure if you would want to DIY an AIO yourself lol. the issue with SFF is always thermals - so it depends on what you mean by "personal gaming"

imho AIO are trash.
Monitor Spoil = GG
PC Hardware Inside Monitor Spoil = GG

Are you really that Despo with space saving?
I rather you get NUC and screw it behind your Monitor.

dont buy AIO but you can buy mini pc.

Search for n3450 in lazada, sort by cheapest. You can find acute angle mini pc with 128GB SSD, 8GB Ram and quad core n3450, built in wireless AC and windows 10 license for less than $180.

If you want 4k monitor support, buy j4005 nuc from amazon. add ram and ssd should be less than $400.

For gaming, spend a bit more and get asrock deskmini and 3200G. less than $500

using lenovo AIO, upgraded from desktop replacement laptop for the bigger screen size. I hate cable clutter/dust, so I skipped the DIY/itx etc.
The 27" also doubles up as a TV and sound is decent.

They are not popular, so I managed to pick 1 refurb below $2k for i7/gtx 1070/27" 144hz panel 3 years ago. Still loving it.

components for my model are upgradable. but concerns about monitor spoil = GG is valid even though mine has hdmi out. maybe gotta DIY replacement with ebay parts if monitor fails

Ohhhh aio computers. Lol

Personally never bought and use one but my friend bought one from a certain local builder about a year or two ago. All I can say is that he regrets it quite badly because the thermals are badly optimized. But is expected I guess, cramping all the top of the line components into a restricted space. Other then that, think quite convenient and saves space bah

Using a MSI AOI for gaming (dota) and normal usage. Works great. Quite pricey for the space saving thou! But i like the clean look in my studies plus i don't have huge graphic rendering needs so its good enough.

And yes, you'll definitely worry about either CPU or monitor issues. I've had mine for about 3-4 years now and thankfully all good. Suggest you have decent warranty on it.

Best all in one is the iMac, can run OSX and Win10 in Bootcamp.
The downside it's not suitable for gaming out-of-box... U need to invest on an expensive external eGPU

My Samsung TV browser cert has expired and Samsung is not pushing out new updates. Age >3 years.

Can I get this to drive the HDMI? This is mainly to watch Internet streaming movies, or maybe Netflix. Do I need to get a GPU to do the formatting?

Any system recommendation? Budget S$300
