Stormforce is a UK-based custom PC manufacturer, and has everything you gamers are going to need, regardless if you’re a casual indie lover, or a full time gaming enthusiast.

What is Powered By ASUS?

Powered by ASUS (often shortened by fans to PBA) is a series and certification that extends ASUS’ commitment to bringing the best build quality possible and best components available into the prebuilt PC market. ASUS has teamed up with several partners, one of which being Stormforce, to bring high-quality systems to the masses, systems that go through rigorous performance and quality testing before being sent out to customers.

Powered by ASUS is the seal of approval that ensures the overall capabilities of the systems advertised, which basically means, if it states “high-end gaming machine” then it is. If it’s stated that a system is for 1080p gaming, then it needs to meet that specification, and handle the latest AAA titles. PBA systems are taking this stance to ensure customers leave with a gaming PC that meets all of their desires.

Your Guide to the Stormforce PBA range

If you want, you can find the full list of systems available, and pick one for your budget at the Stormforce, Powered by ASUS short list. We’ve chosen and tested 3 picks from each of the main Stormforce PBA prebuilt ranges below, predominantly for their gaming performance:

Stormforce Onyx Gaming PCs – Powered by ASUS

The budget friendly mid-tier Oynx range offers gamers an excellent experience without spending the big bucks. These PCs are ideal for gaming in 1080p or 1440p resolutions, and are best suited for esports titles. For example, the Onyx 5908 prebuilt featuring the ASUS DUAL RTX 3060Ti 8GB V2 GPU would net you well over an average of 300 FPS in CSGO (1080p@ low to med settings). You can also expect to hit an average of 80+FPS when playing the likes of Call of Duty as well (1440p High DLSS quality). Combine that with an ample base spec, including Intel Core i5, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of superfast NVMe M.2 SSD storage and it means you won’t need to upgrade any time soon.

Stormforce Crystal Gaming PCs – Powered by ASUS 

The Crystal range features industry leading components and delivers high-performance with ease. These are built for enthusiasts that seek powerful CPUs and GPUs to drive top in-game results at high resolutions. We recommend checking out the Crystal 6233 with the ASUS TUF RTX 4080 GPU. It can deliver an average of around 50 FPS when playing Cyberpunk 2077 maxed out in 4K. You can also expect FPS results around 90-100 when playing Red Dead Redemption 2 maxed out in 4K (with DLSS 3 enabled).

Stormforce Prism – Powered By ASUS

The Stormforce Prism range is there for gamers that want the very best PC they can get their hands on. This range features the latest and greatest components available, and allows you to experience games in maxed out settings on the high possible resolutions. With systems featuring the ASUS TUF RTX 4090 GPU, you can expect an average of around 60+ in Hogwarts Legacy at 4K.

Stormforce Crystal 6332 Performance

To give you a brief idea of how well these perform, we’ve taken a quick look at the Stormforce Crystal 6332 below. The system features both an ASUS GPU and motherboard combo as its base, and comes with exceptional build quality throughout, with no loose components, or cables, and the system booted straight to desktop without any problems whatsoever.

Cable management and overall build quality, is impeccable, and it’s clear that the system has been diligently checked, and tested before shipping.

• Graphics: ASUS Dual RTX 4060Ti
• Motherboard: ASUS Prime B960-Plus
• RAM: 16GB
• Storage: 1TB M.2 NVME SSD

We ran the Stormforce Crystal gaming PC, which features the ASUS Dual RTX 4060 Ti GPU, through a few popular game titles to see how it faired. In CS:GO, with maxed out settings we saw an average of around 290FPS, with the CPU and GPU only hitting around 52 degrees under load.

Jumping into Cyberpunk 2077, admittedly a far more taxing game graphically, we saw the system hit an average of around 97 FPS while maxed out which is pretty impressive. The temps were higher this time around understandably, given the additional load placed on the GPU, but still relatively low by any modern hardware’s standard.

Lastly, we tested Shadow of the Tomb Raider. While utilizing the highest graphics settings available, we saw an average of 130 FPS at 1440p.
