I have been thinking about getting a new desktop to update my 12 year old gaming laptop and the Legion tower is on my list. My only issues with this one are the small SSD (you can always add another) and the memory not able to be fully utilized. Still debating on this one.

I was looking at this 4080 spec for months and this the lowest price I've seen on it. If you aren't in a hurry you could potentially wait until the cashback sites have this at 10%+ which happens almost weekly.

I just updated my 6 year old 8700k/1080ti box to the 4090 version of this legion tower and I'm really really impressed with it so far. Build quality is fantastic, super quiet, etc.. This was my first pre-built computer purchase of my life, been building my own machines since 1995, so it took me a LONG time to finally pull the trigger on something and I definitely think this is one of the best pre-built options.

I have read some reviews of people getting air cooling instead of the water cooling on the 4080 build, so you might want to contact lenovo and ensure you get the water cooling version. This isn't an issue with the 4090 version I got, that SKU seems to only be configured with the water cooling.

On my 4090 build I got the 64gb of ram version and the memory speed issue was resolved, all running at 5600mhz. Also it has 3 or 4 additional nvme slots, it was super easy to pop in an extra drive I had... just make sure you use the top nvme slot above the graphics card because that one seems to be the highest performance slot.

This was way more info than I had originally planned on giving lol... hope it helps!

Thanks for the info and you pointed out a good item with regards to the type of cooling you get too.

The cpu and gpu are good but they cheaped out on all the other components apparently.

I am not getting the price posted, but $2,319.99. Is there a code to get it lower?

There's a downloadable spec sheet if you scroll all the way to the bottom of the specs: https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/...8_Spec.pdf

I believe the 4080 gets an 850W and the 4090 machines get a 1200W

the description pretty clearly states air cooling for this model, so why would anyone expect liquid cooling?

nevermind, hidden in the description on lenovo's website below as well as the pictures

Yeah, definately take this into consideration because 32gig should be minimum these days. Because you'd likely replace the 16gigs to 32gigs, it's extra cost.

You can't overclock components in this pc right? That's another consideration.

Can you hear the PCs fans when just playing a game at 60fps? I only want some noise when I crank it up to 150-200 fps. I sit about 6 ft away.

unless you are doing something that specifically requires a LOT of ram 16 Gigabytes of RAM is still a LOT of RAM.

If I open every program on my computer and I'm also burning 1 movie and transcoding another movie, while actively watching a 3rd movie I don't even hit 12 Gigabytes of RAM utilization on my 32 Gigabyte desktop

I'm driving (4) 4K monitors on an old i7-9700K desktop with an RTX 2080 and 32 Gigabytes of RAM.

High end games are going to use the video from the graphics card.

If you have 1/4 way decent speakers , you shouldn't hear ANY computer at all while playing a game
