A 680 was a "spare" part. Nice gift and video.

I assume he put the 770 there because it is basically a 680 but cheaper. I can't say anything about the power supply link though, seems like he just pasted the wrong link.

Thanks! :)

Been looking for one of that quality for a while and would keep getting a

half assed response or troll.

Or I can ask the forum because that's what forums are for.

Asking questions and discussions.
