  • Key Specs
    • Processor Model: Intel 6th 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: 2256 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: Dedicated (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 GTX 1080 (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.)

Q: What about cooling system does it overheat ?

A: There are 3 cooling fans: top, back, and bottom. Also one on the GPU. I haven't had overheating issues. Alienware has software monitoring the Temps and regulate the speed of the fans (which has manual override also). Because of the size of the fans, if the Temps rise the fans speed up. At 100% the fans are really loud (tried with manual). But with auto regulation I've never reached 100% with pretty heavy usage, but you can hear the speeds changing, but for me it's not bothersome, and fast speeds really cool the temps. So overall it's a good cooling system.

Q: Does the desktop come with a mouse and keyboard? If yes, is it good quality mouse and keyboard.

A: They are very mediocre. I upgraded my mouse immediately. The keyboard has been tolerable so far.

Q: I'm planning to buy this just does it work with like games that are like 4k? Cause im a gamer with Minecraft.And can i have how mmuch RAM this has?

A: This will absolutely work in 4k. System comes with 16GB of RAM and I'm able to play even games like Guild Wars 2 in 4k on high graphic settings smoothly. I currently run 2 4k monitors so you should be fine.

Q: Does it have built in WiFi or do u need a cable from the router to the pc. And how many ram does it have

A: There is built-in wifi and the RAM is 8 gb which can be expanded to 64.

Q: Does this PC support dual monitors?

A: The 1080 GTX card does.
