Specs:
- Intel Core i7 6800K CPU
They advertise 'basic' OC at this price, that takes about 5 minutes to do
- 32GB DDR4 2666MHz Memory
compare to 3000mhz above
- GeForce GTX 1080 8GB
This is a reference card compared to OCed/ACX cooler card
- CPU Liquid Cooling
Similar part here, but theres is no-name, self built uses Corsair
- 500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD
Half as much SSD space
- 2TB 7200RPM Storage HDD
Generic HDD
- X99 Chipset Motherboard
Similar mobos
- 1000W EVGA GQ PSU
Good, but way more than you need. 9 and 10x Nvidia cards take about half as much wattage as they used to, no need for 1000 it just sounds good cause its a big number
