Im about to purchase a gpu but it comes with no box, no cd and no connectors. Should I buy it? The seller is reliable and it doesn't look like a fake to me, but Im hesistant because theres no connectors or any content just the card. Im a noob help.

By connectors do you mean an SLI/Crossfire bridge? If that's what you mean, those are only necessary with more than one graphics card. You really need nothing but the graphics card itself, as your power supply has the necessary power cords, and drivers should be downloaded online anyways.

That's assuming your power supply has the correct cables...

model: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770
price: £150

No box, no cds, no connectors. Im not sure what sort of connectors are supposed to come with it, maybe the 6 pin or 8 pin or both. Im not concerned about the cd cause I learned that I can get the drivers on Nvidias site. But shall I get it, are connectors so assessable or do I need the ones that come with it?

Like I said, the 6/8 pin connectors are part of your power supply. Those don't come with graphics cards. [strike]What model power supply do you have?[/strike]

EDIT: Assuming you're talking about the Corsair CX600, then yes you will be able to use the graphics card. It's not the greatest power supply, but it'll do.

I personally dont recommend buying anything other than ram and cpu . But if you really wanna buy :

1) Make sure you know his phone number and his home (hehe) .
2) Do not pay first money than card way . Unless he is your friend or something . I recommend using 2nd hand sites with safe payment options .
3) Make sure card never got any repairs .
4) Try to convince this guy to let you try for a couple days before paying .

While a cpu and ram easy to check other components can bring up some problems . For example you can play a game and graphics card may not cause any problems then u install a new game and bam pink , green lines playing hockey on your screen . So i suggest running a good test , if possible before payment .

heres pretty what the specs is: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/XLCNwP

I just put that together to show what im going for, I already got the CPU used aswell from a shop called CEX so far. PC parts are expensive as * where I live so I can't get new GPUS or CPUs other I'd have to get a lower power cards and cpu.

<Language, please>
