QuestionDoes this system run roblox?
Asked 7 years ago by Ineedanswers99.
- Answer 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!?

Questiondoes this have ssd built in?
Asked 7 years ago by Daniel.
- Answer 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.

QuestionQuestion on the price here. Will it stay the same with the 300 dollar ‘discount’ or will the price fluctuate? (The 1399 from 1699). If it does fluctuate, can you screen cap a pic and show it for the price match at BestBuy?
Asked 7 years ago by ChickenTendee.
- Answer 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.

QuestionIs this PC good for streaming and video editing?
Asked 7 years ago by DonFaulk.
- Answer 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.
  I would recommend:

Asked 6 years ago by Matthew.
- Answer Matthew, I purchased one myself and found it to be a powerful gaming workstation having all the valuable features to support high-end gaming and virtual reality products. I suggest you find a way to earn the money to purchase this yourself and not rely on your parents to "give" you with such an expensive toy. You certainty would enjoy it - earn it and you'll appreciate it 's value so much more...

QuestionIs it possible if I put a M.2 NVME SSD on this gaming desktop?
Asked 7 years ago by Sorukun.
- Answer There is an m.2 SSD slot on the mother board but it is occupied with the Intel Optane memory card. I have read it is possible to clone the OS and replace the Optane memory with your own m.2 SSD of your choice. Note - I have not tested this....this is what I have come across in my searching for the answer to this same question. I opened the PC and the slot on the motherboard is 100% there and occupied. Also some have stated the Samsung Evo m.2 card will not be recognized...again what I have read in my research.

QuestionWould installing a ssd drive on this be an issue or any problem? I know the power supply is very limiting is why I’m asking. Would it just be a normal ssd install?
Asked 7 years ago by Georgestball.
- Answer Pretty sure you can pop in an M.2 real easy and there are many easy to use drive migration apps where you can just move your boot sector over and then keep the old SATA as just media storage/archive. Samsung EVO seems to be the best value here. Drop $150 and get a solid boost on an already solid rig...

QuestionWhich model CPU does it come with? Does the Intel Optane Memory out perform SSD?
Asked 7 years ago by DJ.
- Answer 1.8700 is the CPU model for SKU:6155309 2. The best way to describe optane's performance in a real world senario is by listing 2nd round boot times on GTA 5. HDD (mechanical hard drive) : 48sec OPTANE + HDD: 32sec SATA 6GB SSD: 30sec OPTANE + SATA 6Gbs SSD: 29sec the first round that you open an application with an optane stick installed, it will perform the same as an HDD. it takes 2 to 3 times for the app to get cached in the optane memory.
