Is the 32 GB version worth it over the 12 GB one?

Yes. A Core Ultra 9 285 and RTX 5070 are held back by 12 GB of system memory in games and editing apps. Choose 32 GB DDR5 for the intended workload.

Can it run games at 4K?

It can at reduced settings with DLSS, but the RTX 5070 is built for 1440p. For 4K at high settings, expect to lower quality or lean on upscaling.

Is it good for video editing?

Yes. The Core Ultra 9 285 has many cores for encoding and effects, and the RTX 5070 accelerates GPU-based rendering. The 2 TB SSD helps with large project files.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage later?

Yes. It uses DDR5 memory and standard M.2 storage, so you can add RAM or a second SSD. Check the free slots on the exact configuration before buying.

What comes in the box?

The tower itself, a power cable and documentation. A monitor, keyboard and mouse are not included, so budget for peripherals if you have none.

How does it compare with building your own?

You pay a premium for assembly and warranty support, but you skip part sourcing and compatibility checks. Building yourself gets better case and cooler choices for the same parts.
