Question 1

Hi, does this model come with a graphic card? or I buy it separately

Accepted Answer

No the unit does not come with a separate graphics card. There is a graphics chip on the motherboard but that is cable of running only a small monitor and the memory is shared.

If you want to get full use out of the product I would recommend the 1 x MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card. That is the card I had installed.

CPU:
1 x Intel Core i5-4670K Haswell Quad-Core 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W BX80646I54670K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics

Hard Drive:
1 x ADATA Premier SP600 ASP600S3-256GM-C 2.5" 256GB SATA 6Gb/s MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Memory:
1 x G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-8GXL

Operating System:
Windows 8.1 Pro

Question 2

Does this system include a operating system, processor, and ram?

Accepted Answer

A bare bone computer does not usually come with processor or ram, or hard drive. Naturally, does not come with OS either. This is where you customize this PC.

It comes with power supply, mother board, DVD writer in this case, check what else they list.

Question 3

Where does the second 120mm fan plug into? I didn't see any spot for it yet it said it was compatible with a second fan.

Accepted Answer

There is a y adapter that will allow you to plug two fans into the motherboards system fan connector included.

Question 4

K so I've got a EVGA GTX 980 but was thinking about purchasing the MSI GTX 980ti, My Question Is Does It Fit, i know the Gpu Is smaller then the 290mm max but i don't know the thickness or the width, ready to drop the cash in a few months just wanted to see if anyone could answer that wondrous question will it fit?

Accepted Answer

Hi John!!
I have a EVGA 780 Classified in mine. SO yes it will fit. Just be careful when putting it in. You will need the side door off and the bottom plate off. Be patient in the install but she will fit  Make sure that you buy a thin 120Mm to pull some of that heat out if you do some extreme gamming or a thin IO watercooler in there like the Corsair H60.. That card don't leave much room for exhaust . And that 92 mm in the back can only do so much. GL to you . Hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine.

Question 5

does this board have sata 6.0 connections?

Accepted Answer

YES, this board has Sat 6.o connection . Please go to  MSI .com For more info.

Question 6

So this is pretty much a DIY case booster? What does it all come with and what all will I need to get it ready.

Accepted Answer

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

1 x G.SKILL Trident X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-8GTX

1 x Intel Core i5-4590S Haswell Quad-Core 3.0GHz LGA 1150 65W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4600 BX80646I54590S

Question 7

Does anyone know which CPU heatsinks will fit in this box, with low profile ram ? Thanks !

Accepted Answer

We installed CORSAIR Hydro Series H60, but it's very tight fit as the case has limited space. The coolant hoses are longer than the distance available between CPU and side fan, so we had to turn it carefully about 1 to 1.5 turn to make the cable shorter, and cramped it in there carefully (be patient). But the result is fantastic having the CPU running much cooler than stock intel heat sink with fan. The CPU is i7-4790K, it now idles at around 32C down from high 50C.
If you search in youtube, there is a review about this MSI Nightblade, and they're using a different manufacturer double heat sink with fan solution that seems to fit as well.
Best of luck.

Question 8

Hello

Just want to know what type of PSU this case has? SFX, PS2, etc..

Thanks

Accepted Answer

MSI website will tell you all you need know. The power supply does have all the connections needed for the hardware that can be installed.

Question 9

How many hard drives/ ssds does this support? I only have two plugged in now and need a third however I don't think i can plug it into this. How can i change that?

Accepted Answer

What can fit in there. SSD or 2.5 Mini drives Total of 3 Regular 5 & 1/4 mechanical hard drives Total 1 It comes with a Adapter drive for 1 of the SSD / 2.5 drive bays that will support 2 mSATA drives there. The smaller fat 1's. Like --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AJ1SJ3793 Now to get to said 3rd hard drive are you are going to half to take out the total tray that is holding the CD player. Its all in 1 there. the SSD should mount to it if I remember or Mechanical drive either. You might half to buy a adapter for the SSD but that is where it is located. Hope I helped you with this.

Question 10

What would be the best memory and CPU cooler for this build?

Accepted Answer

Best Ram Depends But I'd Get if your like most non gamers 8gb or DDR3-1600 and get a Corsair iH80

However If You Really Love Gaming Go Guns A Blazin with 16gb of DDR3-2133 or 2400, You'll literally never complain about speed again.

Hope This Helps,

Sincerely,

Ryu Takeru
