MSI Nightblade MI2 Build

[kingmee]

Hi guys. I have this with me

The Nightblade MI2. I'm wondering what I can get with this computer to maximize it's performance after putting into consideration that it has a 350w custom PSU 🙁
How good can this computer get?

[strike]It doesn't specify what CPU it uses, [strike]but I'm guessing an i3 6100 based on the price[/strike][/strike] It doesn't come with a CPU. It also uses a B150 chipset motherboard and an unspecified 350 watt PSU. Frankly, I would avoid it since you could get those parts individually cheaper. To make this work, you would need to add a hard drive or SSD, 8 GB kit of RAM, the OS, a graphics card if you want to game, and possibly some cables. You would be limited to a GTX 750 Ti or less because of the power supply. Set up this way, you could play most games at 1080p, but you'll have to turn settings down to get good frame rates. To give you an idea, the system below would perform better using a quad core and quality components for about what you would spend completing that one.
