    This is my first prebuilt system I have owned and I love it. I was looking to upgrade and decided I didn't want to try and source out all the parts myself. I already had an Alienware 4k monitor and loved it. I picked this system specifically because of the 4070 and Ultra 9. I have been able to play all my games on high quality using DLSS performance mode (typically 50% or 75% native render) at 4k @ 120Hz refresh and have been really surprised how well the system is running. I mostly play action adventure games like Assassin's Creed and FPS like Borderlands.
