To test the USB 3.0 capabilities of the Asus Z87-A motherboard, we use one of the fastest drives we have – the Patriot SuperSonic Magnum 256GB. We reviewed this way back in February this year.
The USB 3.0 performance of the board is certainly not lacking. We managed to get a read score of 317.6MB/s and a write speed of 183.3 MB/s. Excellent results, especially if you frequently move larger video or data files between machines.

So you need expensive 2400Mhz ram now ? you need 16GB? no need for the SSD, use extra money and get a new PSU 850W and an extra 290x =P
Very impressive, just ordered one for my son 🙂
Gareth – seriously. get a clue. You wouldn’t need a 850W PSU for a 290X, and who wants a reference 290X that sounds like a helicopter anyway.
16GB of RAM is futureproof for a few years and an SSD is the best thing you can add into a system. Amazing you would sacrifice all those good things, for an ultra loud video card and a power supply you dont need.
wer can i buy a gaming cpu? wer can i contak u guys?
A half decent PSU to run all that expensive kit – finally. Sick of seeing £1000 PCs with crappy Corsair CXs.
Hugely impressive specification for the money, miles ahead of anything else pre-built on the market at this time. Ordered mine yesterday, cheers for the heads-up!
