So I was trying to build my Pc.

I could. Not find the PCIE cables. Instead I had a VGA cable from the b2 to power my R9 390. What should I do, are they the same? Also how many pins should be connected?

 

Yes the PCI-E or VGA cable is the same connector for the GPU, you need to connect all the connectors on the GPU.

they are labeled VGA because some users get confused with the plugs for other stuffs if it was labeled PCI-E

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

VGA refers to a video output device power cable. Guess what thing produces video in your PC and uses that exact cable ;)

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Ok thanks.

What about the fans? I have 2 stock and 1 extra.

I was thinking of connecting the 2 stock on the chassis fans and the extra on the cpu fan 2 or power fan?

I dont know if i should connect to the PSU instead. Is it bad to let ur fans run at full speed?

I would personally connect them to the motherboard since you can control the speed of the fans, directly connecting to the PSU isn't an issue, but at full speed they will be fairly loud.

What do you mean?

2 on chassis and where do I put the last one?

 

Oh if you don't have enough fan headers themselves on the board you can always use splitters, but try the power fan connector first to see if that works, however I believe that might be a full speed fan header but don't quote me on that.
