The full specs include an AMD Ryzen 9 7900 processor, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, and dual storage (512GB SSD and 1TB HDD). The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 boasts a max boost clock of 5.4GHz with 12 cores, 24 threads, and a 76MB cache. This is an excellent gaming and workstation chip from AMD and won't bottleneck your GPU in games. It's cooled by a 240mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler. The system is powered by a 1350W 80PLUS Platinum certified power supply.
The GeForce RTX 4070 matches the performance of the older RTX 3080 but with a few new features. The RTX 4070 can push very high framerates and/or graphic settings at both 1080p and 1440p. It can even handle most games at 4K, although at that point you'll see better gains on a higher end card. Because it's a current gen 40 series card, the RTX 4070 supports DLSS 3.0, which allows it to perform considerably better than the RTX 3080 in games that support it. The RTX 4070 also has a little bit more VRAM than the 3080 (12GB vs 10GB), which will benefit people who use VRAM hungry apps like Stable Diffusion.
