    mxk got a reaction from Moonzy in pc won't recognize m.2 with gpu plugged in, gpu won't display when m.2 is recognized.   
    Yeah, thats def it. I must've been too confused and stressed from it not initially working and I didn't try all the possible combos. I decided switching some more stuff around it's working now. Thanks Brah

    I totally understand where you're coming from, but if my shitty antec with no 80+ and no actual model name can last over a decade, I guess it really depends on how lucky you are.

    I'd get a better power supply anyway the VS power supplies kinda suck.

    mxk got a reaction from kil4 in IS IT possible at all - Freesync and Geforce GTX 970 STRIX   
    It's a hardware issue because the 9 series cards don't have the newer port that 10 series cards do have. That's really the only reason that it can't do freesync. I wanted to try and do it when I still had a 960 but I couldn't for this reason.

    You don't really have any good parts at all to be honest, they're all pretty outdated and the power supply wasn't an ideal buy in the first place. 
     
    What's your budget? If you have enough it's probably a better idea to put together a new one and reuse the HDD.

    Tried other PCIe slots?
    Tried the RAM sticks individually already? 
     
     
    If yes next step is to take the CPU out, check both CPU and socket are clean and reseat. Might be that some of the pcie lane connections are flaky, once the driver is there and it goes to using the full width some connections are broken and it craps out.
     
    If that still doesn't do it... either mobo or CPU is likely toast.

    try setting the PCIE x16 slot to gen3 manually in bios if you have that setting available.... probably won't change anything but worth a try

    What monitor are you using? Do you have another at hand? Might just not support the resolution/frequency the PC decides to output to it.

    Consider a different cooler. The 212 evo is really old and not great compared to other air cooler choices on the market right now.

    if you don't need all that memory consider getting a little less of that and putting a little more into the gpu

    Umm. 
     
     
      No.  200$ for a 15 fps upgrade is nonsense. 
     
    Why would you even consider this? 
     
     
    I think you would need to at least invest around $300...

    How about you tell us more about your new system, like the CPU, the SSD/HDD, the PSU , etc?
    Also, did you do a clean Windows install or did you keep the old installation?

    yeah jumballi is right. The 1060 3gb is pretty garbage and the 3gb of vram really bottlenecks its performance.

    rendering is gpu and not cpu in many cases, the 3gb of vram might not be enough for the video settings your running minecraft on
