More a rant / moan than anything, sorry! But whyyyyyyy!!! 😂 Plug and play?? Yeh right!
Bought a rtx 3070ti without realising 3 things.
1 - my 750w PSU isn't going to be enough to power it
2 - it won't fit in my case with the drive cage installed.
3 - I've got too many hard drives not to have a drive cage
Which is all going to result in my having to take my pc to bits, take the PSU out, disassemble the case and completely rewire it, and figure out what to do with my hard drives.
And then you start questioning whether it would be easier just to buy a new system and sell this one or use it as a backup. I mean the GPU cost more than a new case, motherboard, processor and RAM put together, and an i7 9700k is a few years old now so.... 😂ðŸ˜
And then there's my old pc.... The one I just put my old gtx 1070 in that's being replaced by the 3070ti. Do I also put my 750w PSU in that and take the old one out? Do I even need it now I've got a proper NAS? I mean all I effectively use it for now is as a print server and download server, so why even bother??
All for what I thought was going to be a 5 minute job. ðŸ˜
