A:AnswerNo you can’t upgrade the processor. This has a 370 motherboard and the new 8th gen processors use x370 motherboards. They are NOT interchangeable. SSD will work fine though.
A:AnswerI've played games like the division NieR: Automata on it. The pc also has more than the minimum to run black ops 3 although i wouldnt recommend going high on your setting. Performance over quality anyways. It'll run it just dont expect it to be mindblowing. Youll have to do some upgrades for that.
A:AnswerYes and possibly. The screen gets a bit flickery if youre trying to stream with the given resolution. So if you intend to stream youll have to reduce the quality of your video until you upgrade it.
A:AnswerThe issue youre having is not necessarily unique as i occassionally would hear static in the background . I havent really tackled the issue but it likely has something to do with the sound card being of low quality, incompatibility between the sound card and the rest of the system especially seeing as there is no pre-installed speaker system, or an issue with the audio jack. What i would recommend is that you look into getting a better quality sound card for it as the one installed is of minimum quality. Before you do that though play with the sound. Use bluetooth headphones or speakers with the system to see if that does the trick in which case itd be the audio jack that isnt working properly which one of my sneaking suspicions. You can also test this by using a usb audio adapter and if that works well its the audio jack.
A:AnswerThe system as it comes from best buy has 3 extra drive bays, but only one free sata port. I currently run a 240gb ssd and the 1tb drive. Ram unfortunately is limited to 32gb on this motherboard. And since there are only 2 ram slots it would be 16gbx2, which I think is pretty crazy expensive right now
A:AnswerI bought this PC for streaming on Twitch. I play Destiny 2 on Playstation 4 and had to get a capture card, and I also have started streaming some PC games as well now that I have the system. So far I have been able to do everything with no problems and am extremely happy with the way my stream looks now. I am even running it with a green screen and my CPU usage is always under 50% with hardly any frame losses, I also created my first video for YouTube and posted it for Destiny 2 and it worked amazingly well. I was concerned as well when I purchased this computer if it would be able to handle everything and surprisingly it does very well, not to mention I only am running it with the 8gigs of RAM it comes with.
A:AnswerIt would depend on the game. Here are some benchmark scores for Rift and Vive games: Chronos 90fps, Dirt Rally 90fps, Edge of Nowhere 90fps, Obduction 63.9fps, and Robo Recall 63.9fps.
