Pretty good throwback co-op game, a bit more linear and fun than I expected. The Hell-A edition comes with a couple cool pins and extra with the DLC, I like the pins.

John Carpenter's groundbreaking shocker that opened the floodgates for hundreds of imitators stills packs a scare-raising punch. Fifteen years after being placed in an asylum for killing his sister on Halloween, maniacal Michael Myers escapes and returns to his hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, in search of new victims. Jamie Lee Curtis (her film debut), Donald Pleasence, Nancy Loomis, and P.J. Soles star. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; Subtitles English. Three-disc set.

I understand this cable does not have the 4 sense pins as the 12VHPWR cable and thus, is rated at 450W. However, is it okay to still use this cable on the RTX 4090? I am not overclocking and my 4090 only pulls about 340W under load.

No, Corsair makes a different cable for the 4090. This cable wouldn't even provide you the 340W.

11th Gen Intel Core i7-11700K unlocked desktop processor. Featuring Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and PCIe Gen 4.0 support, unlocked 11th Gen Intel Core desktop processors are optimized for enthusiast gamers and serious creators and help deliver high performance overclocking for an added boost. Thermal solution NOT included in the box. Compatible with 500 series & select 400 series chipset based motherboards. Refer to motherboard vendor for compatiblity details. 125W.
 

what is the major difference between this one and Intel - Core i9-11900K 11th?

The main difference is the different Intel boost technology the 11900k supports. 11900k supports both Thermal Velocity Boost (debuted on 10th gen i9), and the all new Adaptive Boost Technology, both of those boost features are absent on the 11700k, only offering the more traditional Turbo Boost 2.0, and Turbo Boost Max 3.0 (which are also present on the 11900k). Other than that, features / core counts are the exact same.

Generally speaking the 11900k should be able to overclock slightly better than the 11700k, most 11900k seem to be able to hit 5.1-5.2ghz, while most 11700k top out at 4.9-5.0ghz, as with all CPUs, silicon quality will vary.

Does this laptop have a spot to put a 2.5” drive such as an extra SSD or is it not expandable at all storage-wise?

There is an additional m.2 slot you could an additional NVME m.2 SSD, but no room for a 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD.

How does intense graphical games like GTA V, Call of duty and Witcher perform on this PC? At max setting is it as smooth as Xbox ? If I have to lower the settings will it then be smooth as consoles? Basically Can this laptop run games smooth as Console?

I have been playing Witcher 3 on this laptop for almost a month, max settings everything ultra, runs around 40-60 FPS, I turn some things down like the nvidia hairworks, and turned some settings down from ultra to high, and get around 60-90FPS when playing. Division 2 is another modern title I've tried, not everything maxed, but mostly high settings, and it smooth, 60 FPS. Devil May Cry 5 everything maxed, runs at 60FPS. I don't have GTA V on PC, and haven't installed a COD, but the games I have tried, have played well at 1080p. This laptop can definitely outpace a xbox, and it's 30FPS cap on most games.
