Question After installing my graphic card, I'm confused. Help!

[jetevois]

so i have
amd fx 6300
M5A78L-M LX V2 Motherboards ASUS
16gb ram ddr3
powerolor r7 2gb
corsair cv 450

I bought a Zotac GTX 1070 Mini graphics card today and installed it, but it didn't even start the fans spinning or enter the bios, so I returned it.

My acquaintance claimed that the minimum for the 1070 is 500w, however I discovered individuals using the Asus Strix GTX 1070 OC with Corsair vs. 450 on YouTube before I purchased it.
Should I pursue 1070 once more or should I settle with 1060? Also, why didn't the GPU fans I returned even turn on or even enter the BIOS?

don't believe everything you see on youtube. did the individual have the same ancient system?

Did you plug in the 8-pin PCIE connector to the GPU ? Which GPU brand is it ? But you should definitely consider upgrading your current PSU as well.

Corsair CV models are pretty weak budget PSUs.

i agree; not everything I see on YouTube is true.
but shouldn't graphic card fans at least be spinning? when i turn on the system?
if what you mean ancient system is my motherboard, I believe it is okay to operate a newer graphics card even though it has several drawbacks and he maybe doesnt have same acient system. but i also saw build with same motherboard running 1660

yes i plug in the 8-pin PCIE connector to the GPU, my corsair cv 450 have 2 8-pin PCIE connector, and i tried both but it didn't work. to the point i gaslight myself "is my 8-pin PCIE connector broke because i never use it all this time" ( i bought this corsair cv for around 2-3 years now)
the brand GPU is Zotac gtx 1070 Mini
yes, i considering to upgrading psu as well but my house elecricity is only 450va.
so maybe in the future, if i build new pc i'll choose 450w platinum rating psu

If your house is that power-constrained, you should probably shy away from more power-hungry 70-level cards. Power consumption being low is going to be extremely important.

In any case, it'll almost be impossible for you to get the full benefit of a new GPU given your other parts. I'd return the 1070 and look for a 1050 Ti. Those old AM3+ CPUs had trouble getting the most out of even higher-end GPUs of that era; those FX chips almost killed AMD. The benefit of anything past a 1050 Ti becomes marginal very, very quickly.

tbh, i chose the GTX 1070 based on forum responses, and to back this up, I have a rice cooker that draws roughly 400watts every time it cooks, and a light that still turns on around 50watts. so i assume it's okay.

for now, i don't need the full benefit of the GPU because i'll largely use it for business and occasional gaming. i pick gtx 1070 over rx570 only because feature level 12.1.

so what do you think that make gtx that i returned can't even display bios to the monitor and the fans doesn't even spin?
and do you think it's okay to go for gtx 1070 again or should i choose gtx 1060 instead
