Acer Ci7-7700/ 16GB/ 2TB + 512SSD/ GTX 1060/ Windows 10

The big, bold Acer Predator G6 scores for VR performance, but it's not exactly the most sophisticated-looking desktop we've ever seen.

• +

  The Acer Predator G6 fits our VR sweet-spot components into a big, distinctive case for under $2,000. Performance is great, basic software overclocking is built in, and there's a swappable drive bay in the front.

• -

  You really have to like the sci-fi tank look to appreciate the design. Not enough front- or top-panel ports for all your VR accessories. The case interior is not as user-accessible as some.

Acer’s Predator G6 doesn’t dominate its field, as does Acer’s Predator 17 gaming laptop, but it’s a solid entry. At $2,000 it ranks mid-pack in value, coming in higher than the iBuyPower Revolt 2 and Asus’ similar G11CD desktop, which is $1,700.

  Gritty, yet subtle design, Strong processor performance, Can handle games at 1080p or 1440p, Quiet, even at full load, Minimal bloatware

• -

  Cramped interior, Some low-quality components, Mediocre value

Provided you don’t plan to upgrade it, and are after a complete package for gaming that you'll seldom crack open, the Acer Predator G6 could be worthy of a place on your shopping list. It's a decent value.

• +

  Effective gaming performance for 1080p, 1440p, and light 4K play, Included mouse and keyboard are much better than average, Runs quiet while gaming, Automatic overclocking, Hot-swap hard drive bay

• -

  Polarizing design, Outer construction feels plasticky, Cramped inside, given the size of the outer shell

If you want a gaming PC that's as good at turning heads as it is at running new games at their highest potential, the Acer Predator G6 ($1,499 starting, $1,999 as reviewed) is a great choice.

• +

  Striking design, Strong Nvidia GTX 980 gaming performance, Easy-access hard drive bay and headset dock, Included SteelSeries accessories

• -

  No tool-free upgradability

Acer is investing heavily into the future of PC gaming with a range of new products launched under the Predator umbrella. Comprised, thus far, of desktops, laptops, tablets, monitors and peripherals, Predator is geared to be a one-stop-shop for PC gaming enthusiasts.

• +

  One-touch overclocking works well, Hot-swappable external storage bay, Latest-gen Core i7 'Skylake' CPU, GTX 970 ensures quality 1080p gaming

• -

  Expensive for what it is, Questionable styling, Interior should be tidier, Gets hot and loud under load

The desktop Acer calls Predator G6 ( G6-710 for this review) is a monster. It’s not the largest and most all-inclusive PC they offer – it’s not even the most massive Predator. Instead, it’s a great combination of elements.

Upgradability isn't this desktop PC's strong suit, but beginner PC gamers will love the Acer Predator G6 for its performance and handy features – until it's time to update.
