    Please avoid spreading misinformation. If you have no idea what you're talking about, it's often best not to.
    The 2017 CX is quite decent. LLC resonant primary, DC-DC and a rifle bearing fan. Unlike a lot of EVGA's stuff, which often uses sleeve bearing fans and group regulation on the low-mid range.
    That's a great way to just waste time. PCPP's calculator overestimates, and when a part doesn't have a number for the power draw, it assumes it's 0W. Particularly the motherboard and RAM power draw is exaggurated.
    It's more than fine. Just make sure the GPU only needs a single PCI-e 8 pin to work. Here's the power draw of the XFX Fatboy. The power draw goes up to about 230W, so accounting for the rest of the system, expect around 300W draw from the PSU under a gaming load.

    Askingcarpet got a reaction from Crunchy Dragon in Forsa 1050. Should i trust it?   
    maybe i will. Still, i'm gonna check on other sellers (this one and a couple more have a great reputation in the sales group i'm in and have their own "stores") because i might just get a 1050ti for the same price
    thanks for the help though, it's like the 3rd time you solve one of my threads lol

    Bro off topic but your setup is pretty fucking sick

    I wish it was that simple. You have a limit of 4 shipments a year (from outside the country), and each shipment can't cost over $200, or a 60% tax applies. Also, the shipping cost is a minimum of $20 and $10 in import fees. I'd have to blow 3 shipments and about $60 in import fees and shipping costs

    We do have a local payment system that's 100% safe and is pretty much like paypal, except it has physical buildings where you can make the transaction with cash if you want to. It's what most people use

    And as for this, i'd recommend you try an a320m with the new r3 2200g which is a very good budget option

    Off topic, but you could start by teaching them how to troubleshoot and fix an overheating laptop

    Okay, the following confused me a bit.  
     
     
     
    Anyways, remove all of your RAM except for one stick.  Disconnect everything from the motherboard to include GPU if you have an iGPU available.  Take it all the way down to just the CPU, motherboard, PSU, 1 stick of RAM and your keyboard.  Try it and if it doesn't work, clear CMOS again with everything disconnected and try again.

    i might try that, but i think i may have shorted the backup bios chip while it was turned off (i accidentally poked between 2 pins thinking it was the M bios but instantly removed the short) still, im gonna do that

    Alright, so i've made a couple threads before because my pc would just black screen after POST with absolutely no way to make it boot, and now i'm trying to change some settings or whatever i can from the BIOS to make it boot again (I'm pretty much discarding bad hard drive as the cause of my issue as i actually got it to boot once or twice and everything worked fine, and i didn't experience any data loss/slowdowns/crashes. As of now i think it's a mobo issue) but the bios is inaccessible, i've tried both the regular and numpad "del" key (i have a gigabyte b75m-d3h so that's the key) and f1-12 both holding it down or pressing repeatedly, clearing CMOS with a screwdriver, removing the battery for 10 minutes then putting it back again, disconnecting the hard drive, changed my SATA cable, reseated my ram, but literally nothing makes it boot or enter bios/boot menu.
    Should i just call it quits and buy the new motherboard? I was planning to upgrade the platform already but i wanted to hold on to this one as long as i could. Thanks in advance

    put the cpu back in the motherboard and fire up prime95 for 10 mins, then shut down and remove again.

    D: A 1080 Ti? What do you need an $700 graphics card for? $850 is a lot of money to spend on a GPU. I don't have $1,000 just laying around.
