  1. Thats really genorous of you but I'm in Croatia it's not worth the hassle they cost around $2. So would trying it out with the current adapters that I have be safe? Is nothing in danger of frying if I connect them that way first then do the 2molex to pcie manually later if the first setup doens't work? And if it doesn't work but doesn't fry either how would I know if it does work with the first setup ?
  2. So I bought an XFX R7 250X gpu but my 460w psu doesn't have pcie power outputs. I knew this when I bought it and the solution I found was 2 molex to 1 pcie adapter. After visiting the store they were out of those adapter so the guy gave me the next thing that could potentially work for me. So now I have 1pcie to 1sata adapter and a 2 sata to 1 molex adapter since I dont have a built in sata power either. The alternative solution wold be to strip 2 molex cables and connect them to the pcie adapter manually. TL;DR: 460wpsu=>(molex(1)->sata(2))=>(sata(1)->6pin pcie(1)) YES-NO? OR 460wpsu=>(stripped molex cable(s)(1?,2?))=>stripped 6pin pcie(1) YES-NO?
  3. A local store in my country(Croatia). I will check the availability of these parts in my store and see how they compare, also I don't need a case.
  4. Currently the 4440 is $2 more expensive than the 4460 in the store I'm buying parts from. Is there a similar price range mobo I could get to work with the other components witouth needing to update the bios?
  5. I'm building a midrange pc which I will be using for light 3D modelling , image editing, programming and gta5. Being a visual thinker and having a bit too much spare time I made this graph of components I plan on buying but I want to be sure I'm getting the most bang for my buck. This is my first time building a PC and I'm not sure if I got all the parts I sould've. I did quite a bit of research to build this but as I said I'm no experts so any advice would be appreciated. I'm currently on a $570 strict budget but I will get more money later to further upgrade as seen in the image. List of components: MB: Asrock H81M-VG4 R2.0 $52.46 CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.20GHz $227.98 PSU: Corsair VS550 PSU, 550 Watt $68.39 RAM: Corsair 8GB, 1X8GB DDR3, 1600MHZ $76.34 SSD: Kingston SSD V300, 120GB $75.42 GPU(next): Saphire HD 7950 3GB DDR5(used) ~$160 GPU(current): Saphire HD 6670 1GB DDR3
