Insanely smooth experience for professional level gaming
 
Compatible with all top of the line accessories and peripherals 
 
Get a stable 60 FPS or higher on 4K gaming (huge deal)
 
Immense storage and options to acquire MUCH more storage
 
INCREDIBLY fast storage for Read / Write / boot times
 
Overclock CPU and GPU to fit your speed needs
 
Easily support 4 monitors at a time with HDMI / Display Ports
 
Won’t have to even think about upgrading a single component for YEARS to come
 
Every modern and future game (for years to come) on ultra settings with a stable 120+ FPS
 
Even more stylish than Enthusiast Level
 
Much more internal space for better cable management and ability to add more storage / GPUs / RAM / other components
 
Can support up to 128 GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000mHz (damn)
 
Insanely powerful and crisp sounding audio with premium built in audio card (motherboard)
 
Amazing for esports
Incredible for VR gaming
 
You could easily do gaming, VFX work, all Adobe product work, any graphically demanding work on this beast. And all at once too. Play a game on every monitor separately, i don’t know why you WOULD but you COULD
 
Realistically, there are no hardware downsides to PCs like this
Your Bank Account (roughly $2,500 – $3,000)
 
Did I mention expensive? (4080 isn’t even the highest GPU in that series and it is already over $1,500 for ONE PART)
 
VERY big chassis, incredibly heavy (be prepared to leave it where it is placed, or have some friends)
 
Honestly just overkill for games that are over 3 years old
 
Decent amount of knowledge NEEDED to upkeep correctly with water cooling, heat management, overclocking, etc.
 
Very disheartening if anything major were to break
 
Each optional upgrade would be pricey to keep up with the high quality nature of the PC overall (almost everything would need to be near top of the line or greater)
