Title says it all. The two screws that support the gpu on the back of my case are a little stripped. Whats the best way to get replacements? Call msi im guessing, but do I just say hey I need two back screw things please? Itd be better if those screw are universally the same size for most gpus, and were sold at local lowes or home depot lol. That's what I did when I realized my computer shipped missing fan screws.

The screws that support a graphics card are no different from the screws that hold the rear slot covers in place.
One does not need those slot covers at all so borrow a couple of those screws.
If you have a stripped sample screw, go to best buy and get some similar from their parts bin.

I called the company that built the pc. I can get an rma but im wary of dropping 20 bucks in shipping fees because the warranty info says you have to ship defective parts back. Best buy said im welcome to come look through their cup of screws lol. Someone told me these tiny screws are pretty universal for gpus. Does anyone have any idea what size the tiny screws that support the gpu might be?
