  • Key Specs
    • Processor Model: Intel 10th Generation Core i9 (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
    • Total Storage Capacity: 1000 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 RTX 2080 SUPER (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 app do I use to change the rgb on this computer in the definition it says it can be changed but I cannot figure it out.... Please help

A: If you have an MSI motherboard, download Dragon Center from them and go to the Mystic Light section. You can control the RGB lighting in there.

Q: What kind of power supply does this PC have?

A: Hello, This PC has a 800 watt power supply.

Q: When will this be back in stock? I purchased it while it was still in stock and its been delayed for a few days now but now that it is out of stock I’m concerned if one was even reserved for me at all before it went out of stock.

A: I ordered this on 8/30 and had shipping delays, tracking mixups, and at one point Best Buy said the order was lost. After being told it was lost, I was told that Best Buy was going to cancel the order but then it finally delivered a few days later on 9/19 after I was already expecting a cancellation and refund. The system had a difference CPU as well (10900KF instead of the 10900K) and all that customer service could do was ask me if I'm happy with it as-is and if not to just return the system.

Q: Is the graphics card liquid cooled too? If so what are my options if it fails? This is the only thing holding me back from purchasing. I can put a Noctua pipe cooler if the cpu water cooling fails, but I don't know what to do about the graphics card.

A: Hello, Yes the graphics card is water cooled as well. The only moving part of the liquid cooler is the pump. If the pump fails, you can contact us about replacing it.

Q: Is this maintenance free or do you have to replace the liquid every few or more months?

A: Hello, You should not have the replace the fluid unless you notice discoloration. If your system is still eligible for warranty, we can replace the fluid for you, but it is also easy to do yourself.

Q: Does this pc have a closed or open loop?

A: Hello, This system has an open loop system, there is a drain and fill port.
