Mycola

Budget (including currency): ~$1,000 USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming on games such as Overwatch, Warzone, and other games that are less intensive. Other details: Hello, I was hoping to get some recommendations from you kind people online as to what kind of graphics card I could get in order to improve my performance in games. I am mainly looking for a better graphics card that could run fps games more smoothly on high settings on a high refresh monitor I still have yet to choose. If I can get recommendations on that as well it would be greatly appreciated(but am currently using a random 1080p 60hz monitor, and sometimes use another monitor with similar stats as a dual monitor). I have added my current PC specs below, but it doesn't include 2 additional drives that I am using(one 3 TB HD and one 1TB SSD). https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mykola/saved/#view=hm89cf

Thank you to all who helped me in my quest to waste you time( sorry :P)

Thanks for the clarification @pbx2 (I was well aware of that xD)

Oh, found an answer to my question, probably should try and figure it out myself so I won't waste people's time http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1733746/pin-cpu-connector-power-supply-seemingly-match-pin-connector-motherboard.html

Yea I got that for the Gpu but What about the CPU? do the squares and hexagons have to be in the specific order?

So squares or hexagons don't really matter(and the order they are in)?

Msi RX 470, will upgrade to 1070 after I get my PC set up nicely

So you can use the connector on the right(regardless of the shapes in the left one?) for both the cpu and gpu?

Hello, recently I undertook the task of building my first PC and I ran into a snag that I encountered before while upgrading a store bought PC. With the problem being that the pins did not match up to what the GPU wanted. I have attached some images, and the type of 8-pin I need is on the left(for both images one being for the MB other for GPU) but the psu came with the other 6(+2)-pin on the right. I was wondering whether or not the wires can be used interchangeably or will I have to get another wire or just a converter.

Sweet thanks allot @fpo I will keep that in mind but I will also wait for cyber Monday just in case something happens.

Sweet thanks @fpo yea i kinda felt the same way, and from what I understood from @Made In Canada better to wait for cyber Monday to see if anything goes on sale?

Hello, I would like to build a gaming PC since I am not very content with my pre-built PC I bought 2-3 years ago with a graphics card stuck into it, and I have around $1700 USD for this PC(would like if it is a little cheap but ok if it goes over slightly). I am planning to use this PC to play Overwatch (and some quick web browsing), and might stream a bit with it, also I have a https://www.amazon.com/HP-2310m-Full-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B003I84KH0 monitor. Lastly I am upgrading because I believe I could get more performance and a smoother experience with another PC, since the PC I use right now doesn't have any room for proper wiring and makes noise as a result of that, along with it not performing as well as I hope it could while I quickly search things up.

So as far as I saw/ understand you guys are saying better to wait for Black Friday then get the parts/build a PC(that are hopefully going to be on sale) and not touch the pieces of junk that I call computers and build a new one that I can have for a long time.

Hello, I am interested in building a good gaming PC(mostly been playing OW and Civ6) and since black Friday and cyber Monday are coming up, I thought now is the best time to build/ upgrade one. Now for my budget I have around $1,700 USD and am willing to spend it all on the PC but I would to prefer to keep it as low as possible. I also have two computers both of which I have provided links to on the bottom(the lenovo is the main PC I use for gaming/quick searching which has the RX 470 in it), both of which I still use(the gateway is used for watching streams/ YouTube for a long time). Along with the two PCs I also have two monitors(again listed below). The reason I would like to upgrade/ build a PC is due to a few factors, one of which is that the case for the lenovo is a barely a fit for my GPU which as a result makes one of the motherboard wires hit one of the fans every time I do any demanding thing with it. Along with the fact that I have to set priority in task manager for the games that I play otherwise I get jumpy frames(Especially in OW) even on low settings, which restricts me from quickly searching/ responding to people in other app. Lastly I'm not sure if I was very informative or clear with what I want, so as a quick recap I would like you wonderful people to help me improve my gaming experience/ setup and use parts form other PCs if needed(I might use the spare PC as a streaming PC) and/ or give me tips on what I could do to improve my setup.

I was overthinking the shape of the 6-pin
