One last reply to say thanks again. Everything is running smoothly and effectively. I appreciate everyone's knowledge and insights!

Interesting that I didn't have any troubles. Not that I noticed anyway! Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. Everything is working, but I'm having some random restarts. Just updated drivers so hopefully that helps.

Ok, so. Easy solution, but maybe you could help me understand it. I plugged the HDMI cable into the GPU rather than the main I/O area and that seems to have done the trick to load up. That's not where I was plugged in on the last setup. Can you help me understand the difference? Thanks as always!

I was able to reroute the PCIe cable but alas, that did not solve the problem.

Well, I'm a little stuck. I'm all tightened back up but I get a VGA light on start and no picture on screen. I've tried reseating it and everything is good there. The one difference with this GPU setup is that the PCIE is no longer long enough to make the GPU's LED3 receptacle. Everything else...

I appreciate your fast and informative responses! I'm not terribly surprised about having to make major renovations. I hadn't thought of the old power supply being a threat, so thanks for bringing that to my attention. You're right, I'm running DD3. It's certainly an option to hold up and...

Hello fellow geeks and gamers! Way back in 2015, I pieced together a PC and it has held up pretty well with little upgrading. Now, however, I have a new AAA title I'd like to get in on, but won't be able to keep up. The old Diablo franchise is calling my name with 4 out now. I was uneducated...
