Steam gift card and an MSI mower Max ac z87. All in all a decent haul if you ask me, only 3 more parts to complete Branwen.

Oh, and I got a can of air as well. Could come in useful when I take apart toshitba next week.

A sweet new mousepad (sharkoon 1337), dampening pads for my QPad MK-50 keyboard and an external usb soundcard, so my modmic sounds less shitty ;)

Do you even custom Bios, bro?

For this Christmas, Santa (Dad) gave me money to buy an EVGA GeForce GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 with a Corsair RM 550W 80+ Gold PSU.  :)

I woke up at 00.01 the 24th of December (That's when we celebrate christmas here in Sweden) and installed everything.

Booted up, uninstalled old graphics drivers, tried to install new ones, but it failed all the time. Then I Googled my motherboard, it doesn't support the GTX 980.  :angry:

Well, even if it had supported the graphics card it would have gotten way to hot in that bad HP case, and the cables would not fit. So I took out the graphics card and the PSU and installed the old things.

So I'll have to wait  :(  until my birthday (the 8th of August) when I'm getting a new PC. :D

Main PC: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.4GHz | CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 | Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 | GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 FTW | RAM: HyperX Savage 2x8 @ 2400MHz | SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB | HDD: WD Black 2TB | Case: Corsair Obsidian 750D | PSU: Corsair RM550 | Monitor: Acer Predator GN246HLBbid 144Hz 24"

Nothing PC related, every Euro I spend on PC parts, is a euro I should not have spent in my parents book... But I got a good book.

That sounds like a weird issue. I don't see why your motherboard wouldn't support the GTX 980.

 

I however understand why it says that it doesn't support it. They probably haven't bothered updating the 'Supported graphics cards'-list.

You checked that the card was fully seated, and power was connected, I assume.
