  1. I have recently built my first gaming PC. It looks and runs great, except for one thing, the stock cables that came with my power supply are not the most appealing to the eye. So I became interested in purchasing some Cablemod cables to enhance the look, only one problem. I am currently running a Corsair TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX power supply and I cannot find my power supply listed anywhere on the Cablemod website. Would I be able to purchase the cables for the Corsair RMi/RMX/RM and just use them with my TXM? Or will I have to upgrade my PSU to get the cables? I don't want to risk frying my components by just trying it without knowing for sure. Thanks in advance. (I am aware my power supply is semi modular and I will not be able to swap out the 24 pin and that is fine, I mostly just want to change out the cable running to my graphics card since that one is front and center.)

  2. Also would it be reasonable to build my PC and just use the integrated graphics from my processor to get everything up and running and just slap the GPU in when it gets here, or would it be better to just wait until everything is here?
  3. Today I finally decided to pull the trigger and purchase all the parts for the gaming PC I've always wanted to build. I got all of the parts in various carts on different websites and as soon as I went to add the graphics card I noticed that the msi GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB GAMING X TRIO is sold out absolutely everywhere despite PCpartpicker saying otherwise. Unless I wanted to buy it used off Amazon (which I do not). Since I would rather not wait an indefinite amount of time to get my PC actually up and running, I am wondering what some good alternatives are with similar performance and in a similar price range (like $650 USD or below preferably). I will attach my parts list with the parts I can actually get my hands on so you know what I'm working with. Thank you in advance.

  4. After hearing about the prices for PC parts potentially rising due to the COVID pandemic, I have decided it's now or never to buy the gaming PC I've always wanted. I currently am on an old 2016 iMac and absolutely despise it because no games run on it, so I went through and picked out some parts from reputable brands and such. If anyone would be willing to look over it and give me some suggestions/advice/tips it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone could give me some insight as to what kind of FPS/performance I would be looking at with my current part list. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/tde555/saved/9hWBcf A little info on the build: Budget: About $1200-$1300 USD but open to potential upgrades in the future. Aim: This PC will be primarily used for games such as: League of Legends, Tekken 7, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Cyberpunk 2077 (when it comes out lol) but I also do a lot of web browsing and watching videos and movies. I want to run 2-3 monitors with it but I do not have any picked out yet though. If you need any more information to help out I would happily provide it, Thank you in advance.
