I got mine on sale for 1050$. It came with a mouse, keyboard, two 8 GB Ram chips, so two slots open. A 250 GB SSD, a 2TB hard drive and a GTX 650. I got the smaller Graphics Card so I could sell it and add a GTX980 or 2 because its SLi and crossfire ready but the 650 is not. There's a really nice PSU rated at 625 watts 80+ bronze even though it adds up to 650. Two 6 pins and one two pin, plus a few others P5's and a P3 not used, Even though I have the Hot swap drive with a 1TB and the inner bay with a 1 TB drive. So its got power to spare. The third Sata 3 data cable slot isn't even hooked up. I already had a USB Blu ray burner USB 2.0 and I can't notice a slow down at all. I ran Fay cry 3 at Ultra settings and it looked great but godrays made it a little slower, without overclocking the GPU or CPU. You can upgrade this for awhile and by the time its outdated one would just buy a whole new system all together. I really didn't want to mess with over clocking, water cooling, and the USB 3.0 hubs let me run hard drives to any computer I want super fast. I mean I was getting a solid 400MB/s HD to HD transfer and The old drive is still configured for windows 7. This thing is whisper quiet and has a ton of fans. The only time it heated up was a benchmark test that lasted 20+ minutes.The colors are selectable by button and have nothing to do with over clocking. The software picks the CPU speed. I also just bought a blue tooth dongle for less that 20$'s and it runs any thing, wireless speakers, head set, keyboard, even a ps4 controller.
