1TB HDD

i am fine with 8gb of RAM, any games need more than that? I am not a heavy multi-tasker


MSI AB can tell you that https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner

I clicked on Settings(gear) on AB's main screen and then I clicked on monitoring. I clicked each resource I wanted to monitor and then I clicked on Show In OSD and clicked OK when I was done. I chose CPU and GPU temperatures and load percentages, System RAM, VRAM(my GPU's memory usage) and my GPU's core and memory clock.

not sure would probably need to check. however i am pretty sure it'll able to handle gtx 1060 or rx 480 as gtx 660 needs more watts than both of them.
