Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: AMD Ryzen 9 7000 Series (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: 2000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 32 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 5080 (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.)

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Honestly a great PC for 4k gaming!
Overall I have to say its a solid build. Air flow is great, temps stay low for both cpu and gpu. Solid build quality and decent cable management. Easily upgraded/increased storage. Hardly any bloatware aside from the junk that comes from windows updates. Great for beginners as well as it is pretty tuned in with a factory OC 5080. Only had to update bios and set the ram speed higher which is quite simple. No complaints on the build at all, would like more vram, but thats not a build issue. Highly recommend! Bought it before the price went up which made it an even better deal
