> Video Card NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1070 with 8GB GDDR5 I have two complaints about this system. The first is *no SSD*. It's simple enough to buy one yourself and clone the OS to it (a 1hr job), but disappointing to not see it included in a new machine. Secondly, and here's where the 'namebrand' is biting you: they're putting in a mid-tier videocard at an effectively large markup. Here is a different offering with a GTX 1080 at (mostly) the same price: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer_Infinity_XLC This one could use a bigger HD (& SSD) also, but with the same price point and 1yr warranty, the better videocard is a major upgrade. You are giving up the brandname, shrug. Also, you haven't said what monitor & resolution you are targetting, which are key. Anything 100hz or 1440p+, and a 1080 over a 1070 looks better and better. rms
