    Posted: 20 Dec 2016 at 12:41pm
I am debating on which desktop to get and was wondering if in any of the vanquishs can the motherboard be changed before I buy it like will ds put a different MOBO in than the ASUS/GIGABYTE (Intel Z170 Chipset) because I don't even know what that MOBO is, is it a Asus or gigabyte or a hybrid sorry if that's a noob question but I don't know much about motherboards and the thing is is I dont preticularly like that MOBO and wanted to know if that is truly the only choice for the vanquish motherboard. I also would never change the MoBo after I buy a PC (if I do) cause I don't know quite how to do it on my own

Any help appreciated
Thank you

It will either be an asus or gigabyte board and no you can't change the motherboard in the customization, as on whether DS will change it if you request it i am not sure, most likely not.

Why is it either an Asus or gigabyte and not just one or the other? What are the difference and can you decide on which one you get???

DS installs whatever motherboard they have recently received through negotiations with their partners, like Asus and Gigabyte.    The Vanquish line is a few hundred dollars less because they can use what they get the better deals on, as opposed to the other Custom rigs where you pick what you want.   That also applies to their DS branded drives, etc.   They are all name brand products, not proprietary ones like some builders.   

For the majority of customers buying in this price range, either will work just fine.    

You can call or email them and ask what mobo they're presently using.   The differences might be the number or type of USB, which audio chip is used, etc.

Give DS a call.    They'll tell you.
