    Posted: 29 Mar 2014 at 7:25pm
Hello (sorry if this is in the wrong place), I have been searching for a new pc for a few months now and recently stumbled across the Vanquish 2. I looked at it's specs, compared it to my second choice (Acer's Predator AG3), and overall loved the Vanquish 2 ultimate much better than the Predator. My first question is: does this rig have a wireless card installed? I would prefer not to have my pc right next to my router and I kinda require a wireless card to do that. Is this pc good for screen capturing gameplay? Such as recording something like Battlefield 4 (for youtube). Will it be able to connect to a VGA & HDMI monitor? And lastly, is the 600W power supply enough to withstand everything smoothly? Thank you and hopefully soon I will become apart of the DS family

the vanquishes do not have a wireless card installed, you can buy wireless usb adaptors for cheap on amazon, best buy and other shopping sites though.


For example this ones seems to have good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Edimax-EW-7811Un-Wireless-Adapter-Wizard/dp/B003MTTJOY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396181104&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+wireless+adapter


course everything on Amazon will have mixed reviews but the good ones always outweigh the bad

icewordluma, hello and welcom to the forums.  Having just purchased a Vanquish II Ultimate I'll try to answer some of your questions.

As ArkansasWoman says, the VanqII does not have a wireless card, but USB adapters are cheap and plentiful on Amazon/Best Buy/NewEgg, etc.  You can get a very good one for ~$10.  Simply plug it into one of the USB ports and you're good to go.  (This is my next purchase as well.)
 
Yes, the GTX 770 will connect to HDMI, DVI (2 ports) and DisplayPort.
 
I can't speak to the 600W PSU or the Screen Capture but I can tell you that the Vanquish II Ultimate is a budget beating beast.
