Frequently asked questions
Do I need a graphics card with this kit?
No. The Ryzen 5 3400G has built-in Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics, so you can connect your monitor to the motherboard. You can add a graphics card later for more gaming performance.
Will it fit my case?
Yes, if your case takes Micro-ATX or standard ATX motherboards, which covers most desktop towers. Small brand-name office PCs often use their own board sizes, so check before buying.
Is a CPU cooler included?
Yes. A CPU air cooler is included in the box.
Does the kit include storage or Windows?
No. Reuse the SSD or hard drive from your current PC, or buy one separately. Windows is not included.
Can I reuse my old RAM?
No need: 16GB of DDR4 memory is included. Older DDR3 memory is not compatible with this motherboard.
Is it good for gaming?
For light and esports games at modest settings, yes. For newer, demanding games, add a graphics card.
