Just Bought a New Desktop. About time!

So, today I decided to drop 2k on an MSI Infinite X Plus desktop. Also picked up a 23in monitor. I want to grab another one soon so I can run dual screen. This is the first desktop I'll have had in YEARS! So excited!

I'm hoping to get Linux running on it as soon as I get it. We'll see how that goes. Should be here by Oct. 4.

Here's the specs on it.

Features

Users can also upgrade or swap out components if needed. Specs-wise, it's equipped with a 3.6 GHz Intel Core i7-9700K eight-core processor, 16GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM, a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD paired with a 2TB 7200 rpm HDD, and an MSI GeForce RTX 2070 ARMOR 8GB graphics card. Other integrated features include Gigabit Ethernet, 802.1ac Wi-Fi, USB Type-A and Type-C ports, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and multiple audio jacks. The operating system installed is Windows 10 Home.

Customized Dragon Liquid Cooling
This MSI desktop is equipped with a custom all-in-one liquid CPU cooler, which can offer lower temperatures and has a customizable LED-lit dragon logo on it. Moreover, the case is split into three chambers, separating the CPU, GPU, and PSU for more efficient cooling.

Easy to Carry
The Infinite X Plus has a built-in handle, so you can easily take your system where you need to. Additionally, the graphics card is installed vertically to prevent it from bending or damaging the PCIe slot during transportation.

Mystic Light Lighting
Customize your system's lighting with MSI Mystic Light. Choose from a variety of lighting effects and over a million colors to best suit your aesthetics.

Audio Boost
Audio Boost includes a mix of hardware and software enhancements designed to provide you with crisp, clear audio, which is helpful for headphone users.

Dragon Center
Dragon Center is a suite of gaming and system monitoring software including options like Gaming Mode, Game Boost, USB Speed Up, OC Setting, Total Fan Control, Live Update, and more.

Nahimic 3
Nahimic 3 provides you with virtual 7.1-channel surround sound for an immersive listening experience. Adjust your audio input and output settings using the downloadable software.

Windows 10 Home

Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.

Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.

Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.

Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

Purchased from BH for $1699. That includes the tower, keyboard, and mouse. Paid an additional $200 for a monitor.
