Ok so we solved this problem. 1. We needed to plug in the two 6+2 pins that came with the power supply, into the video card. 2. You need to plug in BOTH power supply cables into the motherboard, both the 24 pin and the 4 pin. We had just the 24 pin in assuming that it was based on where you...

So I plugged in the two 6 pin power cables, however I only have three ports to connect it to coming off the psu, which means the 4th is not plugged in. I started it up again but still no life in the gpu. I guess I need that fourth one plugged in? My computer friend who helped me set it all up is...

No, the fans are not spinning when the PC is just turned on. I've opened the case up and am having a look inside. Please bear with me, this won't be pretty: So I see two outlets on the gpu right next to each other, they are identical. They are 6 pins, 3 stacked. I found two cords in my bag of...

Sorry bear with me, so I need to plug the hdmi cable into the video cards hdmi outlet? Because I tried that and nothing happened =/ Edit: I'm pretty sure this matters: The fans on the video card and definitely not moving. So I assume it doesn't have any power? It's plugged into the mother board...

Hey guys, please bear with me, I get the feeling there is a simple solution to this problem. I just finished my build. I'm using the tv as my monitor. So I turned on the new PC, plugged in the hdmi cable to the back of the box into the motherboard's hdmi outlet, and then plugged the other end...

Thank you for clarifying that, that is also what the sales rep said and what i've been reading.

Just picked up Windows 8 OEM after speaking with the sales rep while picking up my new case and power supply.

Hey guys, So I am building my very first gaming computer and this is my first time ever even owning a windows computer. As such I have questions about the OS. I have every part now in my possession and will be assembling everything with an experienced friend this weekend. What continued to...

I am looking into cases for my first gaming build. All that's left now is the case, as I have bought everything else, so I am only seeking feedback on the case. These are my current parts: CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Memory: RipjawsX Series 8GB...

You know what guys, I got my hands on a bit of extra money and I think i'm going to splurge on the EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply. That way I have some upgradablilty, a good guaranteed output and a beautiful 10 year warranty. Plus the reviews seem very good. I want...

I can get this eVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B 750W Bronze ( http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120pb0750kr ) for around 80$ refurbished at my local store, would that be any good? But because it's a refurbished item it only has a 60 day warranty with the store, as opposed to a 1 year...

The EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply runs $119 here, is it still a good bang for it's buck? I see its under the tier 1 on that list, so i'm assuming it's a pretty good machine, but since it's $60 more than what I had originally budgeted I want to make sure it's going...

To be clear guys, I'm willing to go beyond "bare minimum" if it pays off down the road :). I don't want her to just barely scrape along, I want her to work like i've just asked Da Vinci to paint a stick man lol. I'll be playing games on the highest settings it can manage, as well as watching...
