If you’re looking for a new and capable PC gaming setup, then you might want to check out Acer’s latest Predator Orion 7000 (PO7-660) desktop rig, which comes with impressive hardware and software features all designed for intensive gaming and content production. Priced starting at around £3,300, Acer’s hoping that the Orion 7000’s power will be enough to turn heads and convince users to invest in a high-end gaming rig.

In terms of performance, the Orion 7000 comes with support for the NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture which works in tandem with the GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU to enhance visuals, such as full ray tracing support and faster graphical rendering times, the latter of which should be ideal for content creators and video editors. The rig also packs a patented Predator CycloneX 360 cooling system, a 360mm CPU cooling solution that (on paper) can improve cooling performance, keeping the rig cool even during intense gaming sessions. Acer says that the system boosts cooling efficiency by 15% and lowers motherboard power component temperatures by as much as 9°C.
Acer adds that while the Predator Orion 7000 is designed for gaming, it also comes with an extra dose of AI-based features built-in. It’s something that we’re not too surprised to see however, given how much manufacturers are leaning into AI functionality as a major selling point these days. Nevertheless, the 7000’s Intel Core Ultra 7 processor is built to offload AI tasks, and can improve gaming experiences even with older titles when using Intel’s Application Optimization feature. It starts with 32GB of RAM, upgradeable to a maximum of 128GB.
Adding onto the 7000’s software features, Acer has also included its “Intelligence Space, which essentially functions as a smart hub, automatically identifying system hardware and recommending compatible AI applications. This helps users effortlessly optimize performance, enhance gaming experiences, and discover new tools, streamlining their workflow. Complementing this, the PredatorSense 4.0 utility app provides a centralized, user-friendly interface to manage the system, allowing for easy overclocking, customizable ARGB lighting, specific fan speed control, and device monitoring. This gives users ultimate control to fine-tune their PC for any scenario.

It’s available via Acer and official retail partners across the United Kingdom.
