  • Key Specs
    • Processor Model: Intel 12th 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
    • 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 3060 (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.)

    • Storage Type: SSD
    • Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
    • Solid State Drive Capacity: 1000 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).)
  • 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.)

    • System Memory RAM Expandable To: 128 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: 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.)

The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the GPU can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, larger amounts of RAM for gaming or video editing increases performance.)
  • Compatibility
    • Operating System: Windows 11 Home (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.)
    • Motherboard Form Factor: ATX (Physical size of the motherboard, which can determine how many PCIe slots are available. Smaller board means fewer slots and features.)

Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
    • Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 6 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

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).)

Q: Would this pc be able to handle streaming on twitch?

A: Absolutely it can as this is my streaming pc. But a lot has to do with the specs needed for the game you're trying to stream. OBS/Streamlabs can take a good bit of cpu/gpu (sometimes as much as 30%) so running a 4k game 120fps could push most of its power. But this computer handles streaming encoding and decoding, internal capture card (from game pc), room lighting system and 11 other programs I run during streams with no problem.

Q: Would this be a good computer for architecture and rendering? if not are there any good alternatives or anything similar that could be good ?

A: The Aegis R 12TC-443US is a good entry level system that can be used for 3D modeling and architecture work.

Q: The specs show 3 DisplayPort outputs. Just to confirm, am I able to set up 3 monitors with this computer?

A: Yes, it has 3 display ports and one HDMI port so up to 4 monitors.

Q: Would I be able to add more storage to this desktop? If so, what kind would I be able to add?

A: Yes, the Aegis R 12TC-443US can support additional M.2 drives as well as SATA drives if you wish to add more storage.

Q: is there a version with 12G video memory?

A: Aegis R 12TC-267US is basically the same specs with the exception that the graphics card is 12gb. Check the MSI website which lists all the different versions. that version is not available at best buy, though.
