ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 White Ryzen 7 9700X RTX 5080 128GB DDR5 2TB NVMe 2TB HDD liquid cooled gaming PC

Ready-to-play desktop for 4K gaming

This ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 White system ships with Windows 11 Home installed and a 1000W power supply driving an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. A 360mm liquid cooler keeps the 8-core CPU at 3.8GHz base frequency under load. The build targets enthusiasts who want immediate high-frame-rate 4K performance without assembling parts.

Storage interface limits expandability

The boot drive uses a PCI Express x16 linked NVMe SSD for fast OS and game loading. The secondary 2TB drive connects through SATA III, which caps sustained transfers well below the NVMe device. Four DDR5 slots are populated with 128GB total, leaving no free sockets for future memory upgrades without replacing modules. GPU memory is fixed at 16GB GDDR7 on the RTX 5080.

16GB GDDR7 VRAM decides 4K headroom

The RTX 5080 provides 16GB of GDDR7 video memory, the single spec that determines whether texture-heavy 4K titles run without swapping to system RAM. Buyers who need more VRAM for heavy modding or professional 3D workloads should consider a different graphics tier. The 128GB DDR5 system memory and dual-drive storage layout support the GPU but cannot substitute for its onboard frame buffer.
