MSI send along a GTX 760 GAMING ITX graphics as well. This puppy is 17cm... IDEAL for that petit build in combo with the Z87I Gaming AC. The card uses a custom PCB lined with its electrical components. MSI implemented a new "RADAX" fan that combines axial blades with radial fins. It's a fan and a blower rolled into one. The hybrid air mover sits in a dual-slot cooler that exhausts hot air out the back of the chassis.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 GPU is the motor under the hood, and MSI has tuned the chip at 1033MHz base and 1098MHz boost clocks, up from the default 980/1033MHz frequencies. The GTX 760's 6 GT/s memory transfer rate is unchanged, and there's 2GB of RAM onboard.

You also get a reinforcing metal plate covering the back of the circuit board. MSI says the metal plate helps to lower GPU temperatures, and it adds that the cooling system is effective enough ward off throttling even when running stress application or viral GPU killer. The motherboard will be US$200 and the graphics card US$270
