@Benn3856,

You can browse through the CTO build page.

It is an old machine, built Jan 2012. It has a non-upgradeable v7.12 BIOS, so it can never be upgraded to UEFIvBIOS.

The MAX processor is the lowly Intel Core i7-2600 (Sandybridge) (95W), 3.4 GHz

The original OS was WIN 7, so a modern graphic card (those built after Sept 2012) will not work.
