Let me start with I'm not great with hardware, please be gentle...
So I just bought a used graphics card thinking "plug it in, easy-peasy, 5 minute ordeal"... But I forgot the part where I don't know what I'm doing and bought one too big for the case. So I start searching around and see that I should be upgrading the PSU as well.
This is about the point where I realize I'm in over my head... So I'm looking for suggestions on what I should do. The problem is I'm on a tight budget so a whole new pc isn't really an option. I'd prefer to use the card I bought and whatever I can spare from the current computer, but IDK if it's even worth it. Should I buy a new case and transplant everything, cut the case and make a new mounting bracket, or say screw it?
Let me know what you guys think and let me know if you need any more info.
