Question 1

OS says "Steam OS" can you run regular Windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Your can run Windows 10, but my version has a bios bug that prevents restarting it without holding the power button for a minute. Perhaps they have fixed it now...

Question 2

What type of SSD can I buy for this?

Accepted Answer

Any sort of standard 2.5 inch SSD will fit in the alienware.  There are no open slots for something like m.2.  I have an SSD in mine and it flies. Good luck.

Question 3

Is this mountable to a monitor?

Accepted Answer

If the question is about whether you can attach to the monitor via a VESA mount, the answer is no.  There are some smaller desktops which you can do that with, but this is bigger than would work for that purpose.

Question 4

can it run higher end game like arma 3 on ultra graphics around or over 60fps?

Accepted Answer

See my reply about the GPU specs. (TL;DR GTX860M equivalent)  I would say no.  Not many modern 3D games will run at 1080p resolution 60 FPS on that card - I have a better one in my gaming laptop and it can't.

Question 5

What NIVIDIA GeForce GTX???? Pretty sure there's more than one and it makes a big difference when competing with Zotac's solid steam box.

Accepted Answer

GTX 960
