A:AnswerThis Q&A section is specifically for peer to peer Q&A. If you have a question about an item's availability, you need to click on the Best Buy contact information to find the proper email address or phone number to reach a Best Buy employee. I assumed this was common knowledge, but nothing really surprises me anymore. While you're on hold, study up on English grammar and proper sentence structure. I believe you meant to ask "When do you expect it to be back in stock?". Perhaps this will help you communicate more effectively in the future.
A:AnswerTo be safe if you could I would download Nvidia GeForce experience on a computer and create an account and redeem the code. That way when you build your computer you can just log into your Nvidia account and still download the game
A:AnswerYou should have been asked by your cashier to provide your email at time of purchase. When I purchased the code came the same day - within minutes. It's possible there was a typo when your information was entered. I would suggest first checking your spam folder, and second stopping in the store at the customer service desk and ask them to review the purchase and verify your email.
A:AnswerSorry, but you're out of luck as far as upgrading graphics goes. You cannot upgrade the graphics card in a laptop. If you're wanting a computer for gaming, VR, or other graphics-heavy software, you'll need to purchase a desktop system, or purchase a new laptop with a high performance graphics card. Laptops with GeForce GTX 1070s or 1080s cost well above $2000. I saw a laptop at my local Best Buy with an GeForce GTX 1080 as its primary graphics card, and it cost $3100. You're much better off purchasing a desktop with a decent sized case so you can upgrade any component whenever you need to.
A:AnswerThe copper is the heatsink that helps cool it down while at operating temperatures, just like the radiator in your car. It dissipates heat. The green "plate" is the actual GPU (graphics chip) that powers the card. The white paste is thermal paste, it's there to help the heatsink have more surface coverage on the chip. If you remove it, you will need to replace the paste before reassembling the card and powering it on. Best Buy sells it in the PC components section. Just the equivalent of a grain of rice in the middle of the chip is more than enough thermal paste.
A:AnswerKeep in mind your power supply has to have the pci express 6 o 8 pin connection to power the card. Being that it is a HP comp you may want to check the psu and see if it has that connector. Otherwise you woould have to purchase a new psu (power supply).
