QuestionHow Would I go about connecting a Radon 580 to this? This is my first computer and I wanted to up frame rate.
Asked 7 years ago by Harrison.
- Answer Adding a graphics card is fairly easy. You open the case by removing two thumb screws at the back of the case and sliding off the side cover. You will remove the back metal mesh plate that covers the slot on the back of the computer. You need to ground yourself before handling the graphics card by touching the metal chassis or using a grounding strap for your wrist. Install the card by carefully inserting the card in the PCIE slot. One word of warning. The PSU on this computer provides 400W. The minimum recommended for the Radeon 580 is 500W. Changing the PSU on this computer would not be easy as the PSU shroud in the case is riveted in. You would probably have to drill out the rivets to gain access to replace the PSU. I put in a EVGA GTX 1060 card with no problems. It only requires 350W-400W. Unless you like drilling out rivets to change the PSU, I would use a different graphics card.

QuestionWill you be able to overclock the computer at all?
Asked 7 years ago by Riley.
- Answer That's a negative - the board is a h310 board and won't support much if any overclocking; furthermore, the Intel chip is an 8770 NON-K meaning it is base 3.2GHz and nothing more. You'd need to buy a new board and new CPU.

QuestionSo what I am reading is this computer does not come with a graphic card. Does that mean if I wanted to use it for VR I would need to get a graphic card for it? Also any recommendations on the graphic card it I need one?
Asked 7 years ago by Harrison.
- Answer Yes, you would need to buy a graphics card that supports VR. A Nvidia GTX 1060 or above or one of AMD Polaris based graphics cards would work.

QuestionHi, I am glad to purchase this PC. But seem like the WLAN 802.11ac is much slower than my previous i7 PC - https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06066476 - It load stuffs much faster. I am unable to find the name for my HP anywhere. Can someone help plz?
Asked 7 years ago by Hannah.
- Answer its a piece of junk.... it is a cheap usb WLAN. the computer is worthless in my mind. There is no recovery partition and there is no DVD drive. if there is a problem with it... good luck. My best recommendation is to buy a good usb WLAN or even one like a Wi-Pi which would be better than the factory one.

Asked 7 years ago by Ryan.
