14 DAY TRIAL // After Intel officially unveiled its Sandy Bridge CPU platform a few days before the official start of CES 2011, we've seen plenty of computer systems' manufacturers and integrators coming up with various products built around it, including the particular gaming system you'll read about as follows, namely the PowerSpec G210. The gaming-oriented desktop system is built around an Intel Core i7 2600K processor, accompanied by an Intel DP67BG Extreme motherboard (as a side note, if you're curious to check out the level of performance you can expect from the aforementioned CPU, you can read Softpedia's own review of the Sandy Bridge 2600K processor).
The G210 also comes equipped with two ATI Radeon 5750 1GB graphics in CrossFire mode, as well as 8GB DDR3 memory in in Dual Channel mode.
Moreover, the system uses a 64GB SSD boot drive w/Sandforce Controller, in order to deliver very fast boot times, as well as two 1 TB SATA HDDs in RAID 0 configuration for data storage, all of the aforementioned components being stored within the Vortex 3620 ATX case.
"The PowerSpec G210 will satisfy the most demanding graphics users with a dual-card CrossFire configuration that uses two ATI Radeon 5750 graphics cards, each with an impressive 1 GB of GDDR5 dedicated video memory. The result is great looking images at unsurpassed frame rates even on the most demanding games," said Herb Doss, PowerSpec's product line manager.
“At PowerSpec, we strive to bring the latest technology first to market with pricing that puts it into reach for more consumers,” Mr. Doss added.
Given the advanced hardware configuration this thing provides, it should come as no surprise that pricing for the PowerSpec G210 is also pretty high, consumers having to cough up around 1,500 US Dollars in order to get their hands on this gaming “monster”.
