I just bought the ACER Predator G3 with i7-4770 processor, GeForce GT640 card. Would I be able to swap this case with the original one?

This case is designed for HTPC using the built-in video card from the motherboard & basically i3 processor that runs low temperature. With i7 processor and GeForce GT640 video card you might want to check out OrigenAE ST series box. Check out OrigenAE FAQ for measurement of the video cards & size of your i7 processor cooling fan for the right S series that is right for you.

I'm not familiar with the said peripherals, you may want to check http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ this helped me in my build making sure everything fits and have clearance, hope this helps

Cable management is the issue with this case. That GeForce card will take up quite a bit of the available space for cables. You also will need to measure the height of the stock cooler on the processor and may need to use a low profile cooler. Bottom line: It can be done but be ready for a challenge.

As long as its 17 in G7, you should be good but you can take yours apart to make shoure that connection is the same. The Address below will show you how to replace screen , I did my own. but like I said, you should be good. sorry for delayed responce. http://www.youtube.com/user/ScreenSurgeons?v=N22N4q9YNNM

Hi Candace. This should replace the original card - and should go in the same slot that the original one is removed from. You will also need to attach a little jumper cable (provided in the upgrade kit) between the graphics card and a socket on the motherboard. Whole installation should take under 1/2 hour including opening and closing the case. So far, the card has been performing perfectly. Good luck to you!Ken.

Yes. Check Nvidia web site and check system spec. but higher power supply wouldn't hurt if you are planning to upgrade again.

Not the original CPUs. It won't support 64gb. You should buy a R710 if you need that much memory

There's nothing I could find on the net that indicates it would fit. Suggest you contact the Acer website and ask them directly. Sorry I can't be of more help.

according to these: 1. http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/alienware/f/3746/t/19526167.aspx 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OySjCz1Sn_k it can be replaced as it's not soldered to the motherboard (assuming next GPU gen. will support the same slot MXM 3.0b)

You can't fit a graphics card in the case.The graphics card is based on whatever is on the CPU and the best you can get with a 3rd generation i5/i7 is intel's HD4000 graphics. About the only other option would be to get a lower power CPU that had HD2500 graphics on it. Considering the price differences it wouldn't make any sense to go with anything other than a CPU with a HD4000 GPU on it.

I have a Samsung with AMD quad-core processor and graphics processor so I can't answer you directly. There are so many different ways to configure hardware that your best bet when upgrading or replacing RAM modules is to use exactly the same type that came with your original system. Use the nomenclature numbers off your existing RAM modules to order new ones.

It has a i7 quad core in it already just an older version. As far as the 780ti graphics card, you will have to upgrade your power supply to at least a 600w which isn't hard to do. For usb 3.0, you will have to buy an expansion card.

It will work fine as a replacement. I am not sure how much of a performance upgrade it will be however. It supports new features like DirectX 11 and Display Port.

Most Acers tend to use the same power adapter. Take a look at your current adapter and see if the tip looks like the one in the phone, if it does, it is very likely it will fit. If does not fit you will have two options, either to return to seller or sell yours to recover some of your money. Good Luck!

You can't swap per se because it's an integrated chip. Having said that, the integrated chip is astoundingly good, so for casual use it should be just fine (performs on par with a mid range card). You might be able to purchase after market parts to attach another card, but as it comes in the box, the unit is far too small to accommodate a full sized card. It has a big brother that has a GTX 760 (don't quote me on that), but last I heard it's performance was hindered by the form factors heat dispersion capabilities.

Yes, it will fit. Desktop case manufacturers and component manufacturers have standard sizes for these things. It's not like car parts, so you're G2G.

Im sure its 12.7, and not the slim 9mm version. For what it's worth, my alienware 17 had a 12.7 slot load and I replaced it with a 9mm slot loading with no ill effect. Works exactly the same. if it did turn out to be the wrong size for you, you could probably just swap the bezels and it would work just fine.

Probably not. To replace your RAM you need to match it EXACTLY. To upgrade it you need to match the speed. Type the numbers on your RAM into Google and see the exact type of RAM you have. Then you can order it in any size that will work in your system. Or type your computer model number along with RAM into Google and it will probably take you to a RAM advisor site. YOu can come back to Amazon and order what you need once you know EXACTLY what you need.

Yes, it will fit in the slot with the existing video card. Pretty substantial upgrade for you, much better.
