The RAM in our unit is G.Skill TridentZ RGB, which is illuminated in<br />
customizable segments. You can change the colors of five discrete sections of<br />
each stick, which can lead to some cool designs and color combinations or make<br />
lighting “flow” down each stick in conjunction with the case lighting, which is a<br />
really cool effect. All of the lighting can also fade in and out slowly, or you can<br />
have the LED strip and RAM alternately strobe on and off.<br />
The case is not only well designed for maintenance but is also packed with the<br />
high-end components you’d hope for at this configuration’s price. Everything is<br />
powered by an 850W EVGA SuperNOVA G3 power supply, which can run the<br />
demanding dual graphics card setup (two Nvidia GTX 1080 Tis in SLI), and the<br />
wattage leaves you some headroom. A lightning-fast Intel Core i7-7700K<br />
processor, overclocked to 5.0GHz out of the box, serves as the heart of the<br />
system. To supplement that are 32GB of the 3,000MHz G.Skill memory in our<br />
model, and since it’s set up as four 8GB sticks, the system has no free DIMM<br />
slots.<br />
Storage comes in the form of two 250GB Samsung 960 EVO NVMe M.2 SSDs in<br />
a RAID 0 array, along with two 2TB Seagate Firecuda hybrid drives—a one-two<br />
punch that delivers a massive amount of storage and a super-fast boot drive. It<br />
adds to the price for sure, but if you do a lot of media work, you’ll appreciate the<br />
added speed, and there’s more than enough room for many projects and games.<br />
As configured, two 2.5-inch and two 3.5-inch storage bays are still free.<br />
