@rupertthebear: Hey, would love to join the gang. Username is seraphinya.

Thanks!

@shivoa: shivoa, thanks so much for all your help - learned so much! Graphics card's all connected, and wow quite the difference from the GTX 760. Cheers!

@shivoa: Thanks yet again, shivoa!

I'm actually now a little confused where I am in my PC upgrade process, so please bear with me.

I looked up my motherboard, which turned out to be the Asus Rampage IV Extreme. Looking at the power ATX requirements...

I never knew that there were different cables for ATX vs. PCIE. I hope I didn't do anything wrong - I've been using this PC for the last three years with no issue. However, if what I've been doing is fine - that is, taking whatever fits and plugging it in - then I had used up a 8-pin connector on the motherboard. I have two 6-pin connectors left, which I combined into one 8-pin for the GTX 760 I currently run.

Is there a possible solution to this when my GTX 1070 arrives? Or should I stick with the double Molex to 6-pin as you suggested?

Thanks!

@shivoa: @facelessvixen:

It takes me to respond, but thank you both so much for all that information! It was a learning experience.

I've ended up taking your advice and now I have a MSI GTX1070 Gaming X on its way (considering a 1440p down the road). In preparation though, I've read that the specs require one 8-pin and one 6-pin connector. My 650W power supply has two 6-pin connectors. Anything I can do with adapters to expand to an 8-pin, or use a Molex 4-pin to 2-pin, if that exists?

Thanks so much duders! PCs are confusing.

After watching those streams, I've fallen into the hole of wanting to go into VR.

I think? I have a pretty good PC, but having recently (finally) obtained a stable job, I'm looking to upgrade. I have had issues running several modern games (Dragon Age Inquisition, Fallout 4...) on max settings, though I've obviously still enjoyed them without. Anyway, here's what I have so far, to the best of my knowledge:

Windows 10

i7-3930K 3.20Ghz

32GB RAM

ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5

Samsung 840 Series SSD

Should I up the graphics card, or processor? Or am I good? I have no idea how to understand the processor numbers, but from my attempts to research I'm eyeing the GTX970...?

Thanks duders!

Add me again! alatar.4173. I'm still in the waiting room of How I Met Your Mesmer...

Same here, in the Northern part of the Americas!

Would really love being match-made with a demo code! Thanks duders. Will eat a durger in your honor.

Only One. Go check that out. You can try some Kairosoft games (I found Sushi Spinnery to be quite underrated, especially if you like food). Cook, Serve, Delicious has a Ryan cameo and is a fun finger-rage to boot. Brad likes Kingdom Rush. Frozen Synapse, Star Command? Combo Crew and Punch Quest are fun too.

@truthtellah:

I'm into all three games, but not really eager to pay a higher price for just a special edition of the console. The whole account/factory reset is confusing to me, but I think I get it. Bummer. Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll keep looking...
