My 2 cents about PSU and GPU

[TheLowSpecGuy]

I was told by many people it was easy to upgrade, its not. You can forget a cable or not have enough space, somethings may not be compatible. Make sure you have enough space and all cables are plugged in, more importantly that your PSU has the cables necessary for your system. Having almost broken my new PC, trying to upgrade to a HX750i and R9 390. The HX did not fit (it did just not enough space for cables and it was scraped (has dings and dents on sides). Since I couldn't get the PSU to fit in i placed the stock undefined one back in, forgot to plug HDD and lost all data. Id recommend bringing the case to the store and checking if the gpu or psu fits, don't make the mistakes i did, they were silly. So how does one upgrade the m32BC-bo1?

There are also a standard series of basic checks one should ALWAYS go through when changing PSU cables:

1. motherboard power 20/24 pin cable (people pretty much never forget this giant monster)
2. 4 or 8 pin CPU power cable (I see so many people forget this on the forums and their PC does not turn on)
3. GPU power cable if it needs one (or two)
3. make sure your OS harddrive is powered

Get these four right and your PC should turn on and be just dandy. sure you may have missed other harddrives or a optical drive, but those are non-critical and they're not hard to figure out once turn on your PC.

As for your GPU, always check the length of your GPU and the length of your case before purchasing a new one, otherwise it's simple plug and play.

What are you specifically asking? It's not like the way to upgrade your PC has changed. This is absolutely the first time, in any form factor, I've heard of someone leaving *dents* on a power supply, let alone a modular one. It's hard to tell exactly what physical action you're doing wrong with actually watching you.

Next time you try to install, remember the advice "measure twice, cut once." Even if you have a freaky case, if you're physically warping the power supply, you're doing something wrong. Always check for measurements and cables before you install. Not really sure what you're asking otherwise.

There are step by step guides every where on the internet for building pcs any one of them could have saved you a lot of headaches.
I recently installed a corsair hxi 850 in my system took all of 15 minutes. But then again I have been building systems since 1984.
I'm not trying to mess with you just trying to inform you next time to look for a video guide on the net it will save you a lot of issues the psu you chose was a pretty good one sorry it didnt work out for you.
