According to Acer, the Predator Orion 5000 is a powerful gaming PC ever made by the company. It can be ordered with up to two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. The system is based on a Intel Z370 motherboard paired with a Intel Core i7-8700K and up to 64GB of memory.

The case sports an aggressive design with several RGB LEDs and a big window. Storage wise, the system can be configured with up to 3TB 3.5" HDD and 512GB 2.5" SSD.
