ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 White Ryzen 9 9900X RTX 5070 Ti 128GB DDR5 4TB NVMe 2TB HDD gaming PC

System overview

This ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 White is a new gaming desktop PC built around a 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor running at 4.4GHz. It pairs the CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card that carries 16GB of GDDR7 memory. The platform includes 128GB of DDR5 RAM across four slots, a 4TB NVMe SSD and a 2TB SATA III hard drive. A 360mm liquid cooler and an 850W power supply complete the core hardware, with Windows 11 Home pre-installed.

PCIe and storage limits

The graphics card connects through a PCI Express x16 interface, which sets the bandwidth ceiling for GPU data transfer. The 4TB NVMe drive uses the NVMe protocol, while the 2TB hard drive runs on the SATA III interface, so each device is bound by the throughput of its own bus. The motherboard provides four DDR5 memory slots, all of which are populated in this configuration, leaving no free slots for further memory expansion without removing existing modules.

Installation notes

The system ships assembled, liquid-cooled and tested, so the main installation steps are placing the tower, connecting peripherals and powering on. The 360mm liquid cooler requires enough case clearance for its radiator and tubing, which is already satisfied inside the Helios GX601 chassis. Component brands may vary from the images shown, but the specification remains consistent. Builders who need additional internal drive bays beyond the populated NVMe and SATA positions will find no spare mounting points mentioned in the supplied data.
