    Computer Wont Display Anything

    Hi. So recently I dug up a HP z230 with 2 quadros, but it refuses to work on any of my monitors. I have connected using different cables to each quadro and the mobo.

    Advice on PSU Wattage for Build

    the 100 watts is for hdds, ssds, case lights, mouse/kb lights, cpu, fans, and ram. So think of it like this, do you want to go for 400w and possibly have your pc not work, or go 100 over and not run that risk.

    Advice on PSU Wattage for Build

    Before you even think about a PSU, find a graphics card. The Graphics card will recommend a certain amount of watts. So what you do is x watts (gpu recommended watts) + 100. If you do SLI, double that number. So x watts + 100. And if your doing SLI: x watts + 100 * 2

    my computer will turn on but the bios menu does not come up.

    Plug your video cable into your motherboard instead. If that doesn't work test to see if your monitor works with another computer.

    AMD a10-7890k or i3 6100 with RX 470 ?

    i3, but I highly suggest you think about a I5 4460, it is 70$ more but will future proof your PC for any GPU you want to add in the future.
