When you look at the performance and the cost, the ASUS RX460 STRIX delivers a good gaming experience for the asking price. The cooler is Premium-grade and there is nothing 'cheap' about the product. This testing experience has raised the bar...

The first thing I'm going to say is, yes the prices at the top are a bit messed up currently with the US price representing excellent value for money when compared to the UK price. This is down to pre-Brexit jitters and as the market/exchange rates...
