The good: This latest Falcon Northwest Mach V features Intel’s new six-core CPU, a new motherboard chipset, and the usual assortment of high-end components.
The bad: Gamers won’t see much benefit from Intel’s new chip compared with the old flagship Core i7, and the imposing Mach V case isn’t for everyone.
The bottom line: Well-heeled gamers with professional-level application performance needs should look into this statement-making Falcon Northwest Mach V, but you can spend far less and still enjoy top-notch gaming with an older CPU.
