Can anyone tell me the model of this case, please? PICS

Hi I have a couple of issues with identifying cards. First up, I have a card that is clearly marked "GTX 670 KFA2" but system information, speccy, and CPU-z all say it's a GTX 960. Second is an RX 580 that clearly states on the label that it's an "MSI Radeon RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC " but it looks...

Thanks for the replies guys.

Hi I'm looking to buy some cpu's to be used for testing motherboards. Could anyone provide me with a list of cheap cpu's for intel socket 1150, 1151, and 1155 and any revisions? Thanks.

Yes, that seems possible but I'm building this system to sell so I don't really want to just bodge things to make them work. The eBay seller didn't mention this and other small parts where missing, so if he doesn't have them to send to me, then the whole thing will be going back.

Yes, you can see from your pic there is supposed to be a grilled plate that holds the PSU in place. Thank you for your speedy sleuth work.

Hi I just got this case from eBay and I'm having problems fitting the PSU. There appears to be a piece missing. The case is a Cyberpower the only info on it is a number "AL309803". Should it come with some kind of PSU retention plate? Here are some pics of my issue. And this is the case.

Can anyone recommend a case that comes with a psu that would be able to handle this bundle: https://www.awd-it.co.uk/amd-ryzen-3-2200g-quad-core-3.7ghz-vega-graphics-gigabyte-b450m-ds3h-motherboard-cpu-bundle.html I'm building a system for a friend who is on a tight budget.

As I'm going to sell this pc, I guess you're right. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

I also ran ai Yes just very slightly. The is a slightly darker line the runs between the two arrows. I also ran Aida64 stress test for 5 minutes and no issues.

Could it be the wifi dongle I'm using that's causing the crash? I get the same two errors each time. The bugcheck 1001 and then the error 27.

I've installed windows four times with two different motherboards and two different m.2 drives and i keep getting the same errors.

Here you go, best I could do. It's very hard to capture on a camera. You have to catch the light just right and often the image doesn't show it. View: https://imgur.com/aLyZzMu

So I made a real newbie error when putting a system together. I forgot to lock down the CPU. I attempted to fit the cooler before I realized what I'd done. Now the CPU has a small bend/crack in one corner. After fitting it correctly I ran the intel CPU tester program and the CPU passed all...
