Conclusion
Core i5-8600K and GeForce GTX 1070 Ti have the makings of an excellent partnership, for both everyday work and high-quality gaming at a QHD resolution...The way in which modern PC components have evolved has helped simplify the self-build process. These days, just about anybody could pick up a handful of parts from store shelves and click them together - it's so easy I'm convinced my six-year-old niece could do it, with a bit of guidance.
System integrators, therefore, need to explore further customisation in order to create turnkey PCs that offer something a little different to the norm. Playing to the quiet-computing crowd, Scan's 3XS Z370 Vengeance Q takes a selection of gaming-grade components and wraps them into a package designed to make as little noise as possible.
Simple looking by design, this is a rig that's pleasing to the ear without sacrificing performance. Core i5-8600K and GeForce GTX 1070 Ti have the makings of an excellent partnership, for both everyday work and high-quality gaming at a QHD resolution, and the presence of six CPU cores will serve as a meaningful upgrade for most users.
Bottom line: don't be fooled by the system's sedate exterior, the Scan 3XS Z370 Vengeance Q is a powerful and composed machine well worthy of consideration at the £1,700 price point.
