I am looking at the Vanquish 3 Level 2 build as an upgrade from my current laptop. I was curious if it has wifi built in and if not can I put a wifi card in it. If no which of the pre-built desktops come with this. Thank you for the help!

Side note: I am looking to spend 1000 for a gaming computer but no more than 1300. The Vanquish 3 build caught my eye and I am not computer savvy enough to build one from scratch so do you guys think this will stand up to pc gaming and would you recommend upgrading/downgrading anything in the Level 2 build with this in mind?

1) Yes, there will be a free PCI-e 2.0 slot in the Vanquish where you can install a Wi-Fi card.

2) The Level 3 will provide a substantial boost in graphics power. If you will be playing at higher resolutions (for instance 2560 x 1440) or higher frame rates (120 or 144 Hz), it will do you well to move up to the Level 3. If you are only gaming at 1920 x 1080 and don't have anything that needs high frame rates, a Level 2 will suffice.

Hello recon and welcome to the forums.

Keep in mind that the Vanquish lines are prebuilt and can not be customized. Any changes, upgrade or downgrade, will necessitate a complete change in model.

I got an Apollo down to under $1100 by using the very basics. It is a WEAK computer Build# 1273962. This build probably wouldn't work anyway.
A Vanquish 3 Lvl 3 would cost $200 more and you would get an AWESOME machine...
