Question 1

Does this computer have a wireless internet card so I may connect to the internet without buying a wireless internet card?

Accepted Answer

No it does not have a wireless internet card.  Other than that this computer is worth the money, it was two hundred cheaper than another website I shop on. The computer has CyberpowerPC on tower, but the box the tower came in said "Viper" on the box. This is an excellent gaming computer, nice gaming keyboard and mouse too. I feel that if you are gaming the computer runs faster when connected with an Ethernet cable, just my personal opinion.

Question 2

I can use this the same as any computer   it is not just for games?

Accepted Answer

Your computer can be whatever you make it. It does come with Windows 8.1, I don't like it at all. I found a way to basically hide the tile format of 8.1 to stay on the desktop portion so it acts almost like Windows 7. I highly recommend doing this, it wasn't hard to search for. Also use the cd included to go to the Control Center to slow down the CPU fan which is horribly loud. Pretty easy to figure out.

Question 3

Ok so what graphic card should I get with this? I've read some reviews and it said it needed a better one. Which is compatible? 
Also, how do I get wifi with this?

Accepted Answer

if you play the latest games you should get a gforce 650 TI or better.  I got the one with 2gb about $139.  It works great with Farcry3 and Ghost.  The power supply has enough power but not enough plugs to add a better video card so you will also need a SATA splitter power plug and a converter from SATA to 6 pin to plug into your new video card.  almost all upper end video cards need a power plug added to them.  
SATA power splitter and a SATA to 6 pin converter cable.

Question 4

would this computer run diablo 3, photoshop cc and work good for a computer for collage?

Accepted Answer

Yes it would, but if you were to make changes, I would recommend a new graphics card and power supply. Other than that this is a great starting computer.

Question 5

looking for a pc to go along side my tv for web viewing and was wondering if this would be the one or if you had another suggestion?

Accepted Answer

Sure, this pc will definatly do the job.  In fact, It may be overkill if all you plan on doing is using it to play video.  You can probably find something much cheaper if that's all you want to do.  I was looking for a gaming pc with a good MB and processer cause my old ones burnt out.  This is a gaming rig with lots of room for upgrades and multiple 7" case fans.  The video card could be better and it could come with a larger hard drive but these were not issues for me because I had plenty of left over parts from my old system to work with and if it did it would have cost more.  If you don't plan on high end gaming than you should be good qith a walmart media pc.

Question 6

Does this computer come with the mouse and keyboard? Can it run Arma 3, Minecraft and Battlefield 4 on the highest settings? Does it get very hot when you play games for a long time? Does it come with a water cooler installed? Does it have a lot of storage so they can run all of the games I listed? Thank-you so much for answering all of my questions! If I have any more questions I will contact the person who e-mailed me.

Accepted Answer

1. The PC comes with a mouse and keyboard
2. You won't be able to play those games on high settings, but you can easily upgrade your graphics card. I purchased a GeForce 640 and installed it with no problems.
3. It doesn't get hot for me, but I only play a few games on it, so I'm not sure on this.
4. No, it doesn't come with a water cooler installed.
5. It comes with a 500 GB hard drive, which isn't real large for modern PC's, but most of those games don't take nearly that much space, so 500 GB should be fine. I'd recommend getting an external hard drive and storing your saved games on it. Not necessarily to save space, but in case the main hard drive fails, you won't lose your saved games.

Question 7

Would this computer be good for editing videos?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, no. I recommend upgrading the graphics card first, but if you do upgrade the graphics card you should also upgrade your power supply, if you don't the cheap power supply it comes with most likely will die.

Question 8

THe specs at the top of the page say it's a GT 720, but the images and specs down below say it's actually a GT 610. What is it really?

Accepted Answer

Mine came with a GT620, which I immediately swapped out for a GTX class card.  Great rig though!

Question 9

can u connect by WiFi?

Accepted Answer

No, as it does not have a dedicated Wi-Fi card built into it, however if you get a wireless internet adapter and plug it into one of the available USB slots, you should be able to connect to one.

Overall I have not had many issues with this computer.  I connect it directly to the cable internet and it serves as the host computer for my Wi-Fi network.

Question 10

Does this computer have built in wireless capabilities?

Accepted Answer

No. My son bought this computer and needed to purchase a wireless card in order to give it wireless capability.
