QuestionExpandabilityHow many hard drives could I add to this? I know it probably just has one free physical bay, But, as far as sata/psu connections go - would adding an SSD along with a second "regular" drive be possible?
Asked 10 years ago by EP.
- Answer It has 4 Sata Slot: As is, two was taken already, by the existing optical drive and harddrive. Theoretically, you can add 2 more drives. According to the motherboard manual, it can handle 3GB of information, I am unsure of whether it's 3GB per drive or 3GB total, so I added a 2GB harddrive.

QuestionWhat games could i play with this?For example i plan to play Tf2, minecraft,and bf4 also the sims 4
Asked 11 years ago by Ugivethelolz.
- Answer The graphics engine is an amd radeon 8670d, which you can see benchmarks and reviews on the following website: http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-8670D.96575.0.html In short, its classified as a lower end class2 video card engine, which for $500 total pc cost isn't bad at all. It should handle modern games fairly well in resolutions of 1366x768 or 1024x768, but will struggle with higher resolutions and graphic settings. This should be looked at as a budget gaming pc and NOT a high end one. PS-on a side note, DO NOT install windows 7 on this PC if you will be using it primarily for playing games, you'll be dealing with driver issues that will drive you batty. Stick with windows 8 or buy a different machine/build one.

QuestionWould it be possible to have windows 7 preinstalled instead of windows 8? And would it cost more?
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer No. This unit is a WYSIWYG package. I have a Windows 7 laptop and a Windows 8 laptop thus why I bought this desktop with Windows 8. There is nothing wrong with Windows 8. There is a tile called desktop which you click on to revert to traditional desktop. Windows 8 has it's quirks but they are easy to get used to. Unfortunately Microsoft has made us all into Pavlov's dogs with their previous OS's. If you keep an open mind to change some ingrained habits, you will learn to accept Windows 8. With Windows 10 coming out that will shorten the shelf life of Windows 7, you WILL be brought into the next generation of Windows kicking and screaming. But hey! You won't be alone :-)

QuestionDoes this motherboard require a matching pair of RAM? It has two slots for RAM, and it came with 1x8GB, so do I need to add another 8GB or is 4GB ok?I realize the original 8GB is sufficient, but I have an extra 4GB stick of the same type of RAM and was going to add it, but I wanted to make sure this motherboard doesn't require a matching pair. I searched the owners manual and online and couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks!
Asked 10 years ago by Steve.
- Answer Hello. I would say that adding another 4 GB memory to the second open slot should be OK, as I have seen similar models of this Asus PC come with 12 GBs of memory. Thank you.

QuestionHow is it for home made video features?Never used Asus products before. I'll basically use it for internet research, writing documents, checking e-mails, and editing my home made videos. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Asked 10 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I have not edited any videos with this PC but I would say that if you have the proper video editing software loaded, this PC should handle the editing OK. I would suggest adding another (8) GBs of memory, as this machine can hold up to (16) GBs of memory. The extra memory should make your video editing work easier and faster. Thank you.
