A gaming desktop is assembled by several dedicated components. And these components cooperate with each other perfectly to support a desktop. Therefore a gaming desktop can?t run normally without any of these components.
The main components of a desktop:
lCPU: The most important calculating unit in a desktop. Just like the brain of human.
lMB: Work as a bridge to connect every units of a desktop. Every units should work through MB.
lRAM: Temporarily store data for CPU and GPU.
lVGA: This unit is responsible for the quality of gaming. The image of gaming is calculated and produced by it.
lHDD: Storage space. There are traditional Hard Disk and Solid-state Disk in current market.
lODD: CD-ROM drive
lPower: Deliver the electricity to desktop. Desktop can?t be boot without it.

Alright! Let?s get into our topic: Ugrade Your Own MSI Nightblade X2 Gaming Desktop. Today we want to upgrade our graphics cards, RAM, cooling system
Step 1
Remove graphics card
When we upgrade Nightblade X2, I strongly suggest removing graphics card first. Not only ensure graphics cards won?t be damaged during process but also make more space.
First, pull out the power cord carefully.

Second, disassemble the bracket by screwdriver
Third, push the latch and remove the graphics card
Step 2
Remove cooling
No doubt that the temperature of machine will influence the efficiency of it. Therefore, we should choose cooling based on cpu?s wattage. Then our cpu can be protected well.

First, release the four screws on the fan
Second, open the left side cover, and remove the CPU bracket
Third, coat a little thermal grease on cooling and align cooling with cpu?s base.
Fourth, chose the right spec of cooling, and re-install it carefully, especially DO NOT crash the CPU pin on the motherboard.
Step 3
Upgrade RAM
Recommend everyone to choose the same standard and manufacturer in order to avoid boot failure caused by hardware conflicting.
First, choose the RAM with the same standard from the same manufacturer
