- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 9th Generation Core i7 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD, HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1512 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Discrete (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Processor Model Number: 9700K
- Storage
- Storage Type: SSD, HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1512 gigabytes
- Solid State Drive Capacity: 512 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's solid state drive (SSD). SSD is a flash-based storage with faster speeds than a hard disk drive (HDD).)
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Solid State Drive Interface: PCIe (Connects the solid state drive to the host system. PCI and SATA interfaces are the most common; PCI interfaces are typically faster, but SATA interfaces are compatible with a wider range of systems.)
- Hard Drive Interface: SATA (Connects the hard drive to the host system for transferring data between the hard disk cache and system memory. IDE and SATA interfaces are primarily used for personal computing, while larger servers and workstations typically use SAS or SCSI.)
- Hard Drive RPM: 7200 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
- Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 2666 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
- Number Of Memory Slots: 2
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 32 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
- Graphics
- Graphics Type: Discrete (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- GPU Brand: NVIDIA
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 10 (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Connectivity
- Number of USB Ports (Total): 12
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Product Manuals
Q: What type of ssd is this and ram
A: RAM is SAMSUNG with 8GB per piece and a total of two pieces.
Q: What motherboard is it and what is there a glass panel?
A: The motherboard is proprietary for the GL12CX desktop, it's not a retail motherboard with a model number. The glass panel is the side panel were internal parts are accessed.
Q: Can I use 2 monitors on this unit? If so, what kind of connections?
A: Yes you can connect 2 monitors. There are HDMI, display port, and even a usb-c port. I have 2 FullHD Monitors hooked up. One 144 hz and one 60 hz. Also have a Sony a6000 connected to the usb-c port as a webcam for streaming. I uploaded a pic of just the monitors hooked up so you can see the connections.
A: The machine I bought from Best Buy had the OS installed on the SSD and not the hard disk drive.
Q: Does this model include the swappable SSD tray? Also, is there an optical drive?
A: It does have the swappable SSD tray. It does NOT have the optical drive.
Q: What power supply does is unit come with and what is the manufacturer name of the memory installed?
A: The desktop comes with a 750 watt power supply unit and Hynix RAM.
Q: How many fans does the pc have
A: It has one fan in the chasis. The CPU is liquid cooled so the fan for the radiator is on the the case ceiling.
Q: Can I uograde from the 2080 to the 2080 super rather than just having a 2089 blower style in here?
A: I mean why would you want to do that? The difference in performance is less than 5% you get maybe 3-5 fps difference from the RTX 2080 to the RTX 2080S and only about 10-15 fps difference from the 2080 to the 2080 Ti on benchmarks I've seen on certain games, not worth the extra money tbh for less than a 20% performance increase.
