- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 7th Generation Core i9 X (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: HDD
- Total Storage Capacity: 2000 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.)

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: Does this system run roblox?
A: First off yes, it can run ROBLOX since Roblox is processor only and the i7-8700 will get +120 FPS plus on Roblox. Second off, WHY WOULD YOU BUY A TOP OF THE LINE GAMING COMPUTER TO RUN...... ROBLOX!?
Q: does this have ssd built in?
A: No there is no SSD in this PC but it does have the new Intel Optane memory that works along side the HDD to make it run faster. Not sure yet how it compares to an SSD as I am still waiting for my PC to come in.
A: I actually bought it at $1,399 and then it dropped to $1,299 the next day so I went right back to Best Buy to get the extra $100 back. According to what they told me, they will price match once on an item after purchase (I dont even think it has to be a Best Buy price). I think you have to be within the return period though.
A: It only comes with power cable, mouse, and keyboard. Normally HDMI cables would come with monitors if you buy those new.
Q: is the 16g of ram split between 2 dimms or one? Ie. 2 8g sticks or 1 16g stick. Thanks.
A: Two sticks of 8GB at 2666MHz. The model of mine are: Micron Technology 8ATF1G64AZ-2G6E1, and I expect you would receive the same.
A: I7 8th generation 8700
Q: Is this PC good for streaming and video editing?
A: This is the best computer I have ever owned. No buffering when streaming music or videos. Haven't had a bit of trouble with it since I got it. Worth the money for sure! The keyboard that says I recommend it, I don't. I have old man fingers and it's difficult to keep them in position on this keyboard. I would much rather go for an ergonomic keyboard. Maybe that way my a wouldn't be a q and my Caps Lock wouldn't suddenly turn on.
Q: Can this computer run well with a alienware 240Hz monitor?
A: Yes! It's excellent
