I am looking for a place to purchase one of these: Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66Ghz Dual-Core Processor. Since I am rather pressed for cash, I've been looking on eBay. I'm wondering if a refurbished CPU will serve my needs, especially since I'll be doing some gaming on my machine.

A friend of mine recently purchased some 1866Mhz Corsair memory, I guess he didn't check his motherboards specs which only supports 1600 so he is running it under clocked. I just ordered a Asus Z97-A which should be able to make use of the speed. He offered to swap his memory for the 1600 Mhz...

So my 770 gpu has 3 4 pin connectors, but each one only has 3 wires. I just noticed this, I can't understand why the 4th pin has to be there if no wire connects to it. Here's a pic so you know what I mean:
