The power supply doesn't have a plug that fits into the video card, so I guess I'll use both adapters. It's just using up almost all of my 4 pin plugs. With both adapters, it has 4 molex plugs connected to it. The manual is a generic manual, so it doesn't say if you need to use 1, 2, or...

I bought a new GTX260 video card, but I'm not sure how to install it. I mean, I know how it fits into the mobo, but I'm not sure about the power adapters. It comes with two adapters - one end plugs into the video card, and the other end has two 4 pin molex plugs. Do I need to plug my power...

Would you happen to know if there's room for a bigger HSF? Or if it's even worth getting with that CPU?

:p If that's powerful enough, then I wouldn't upgrade. Other than the HD, I had over 800 GB of stuff on my last PC.

I guess I can give a breakdown of some games I like: Command and Conquer World of Warcraft Starcraft Warcraft That's all I can think of that I've played recently. edit: I thought of some that I want to be able to play when they come out. I want to be able to play Fallout 3, Red...

As far as moderate gaming, I don't really know what I mean. I haven't been playing any games lately since I had a 4 year old system. The monitor have is a 19" LCD, but I can't remember the resolution. It's nothing too high though.

Oh yeah, I should have mentioned the case. The Cooler Master Elite 340 is the exact case I wanted.

I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, so I'm reposting it here. I need help deciding on what parts to get for a new PC build. My house got broken into last week, and my computer was stolen, so I have nothing except a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I'm going to have to build this...

Sorry, I didn't see the general hardware forum. 1) Everything - case, mobo, power supply, CPU, RAM, video card, hard drive, heat sink, fans 2) I don't plan on it 3) It's a 19" LCD monitor 4) Hopefully within a month, as long as my insurance company doesn't take to long to reimburse me 5)...

I don't know if this is the right forum for it, but I need help deciding on what parts to get for a new PC build. My house got broken into last week, and my computer was stolen, so I have nothing except a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. It's been several years since I built my last computer, so...

I haven't decided yet. If I go Intel, it will be this mobo and an E2180. If I go AMD, it will be this and an X2 5000+ Black Edition.

I'm about to build a new system, and it has to be mATX to be able to go where I need it to go. Specifically, I want to use this case. It actually looks like it's pretty roomy inside for being such a small case, so I want to know if a big HSF will fit. The only problem I see would be how close...

As the thread title suggests, I'm looking to build a budget system right now. I'm thinking a P35 mobo and an E2180 w/ a little overclocking. The question I have is about future processor upgrades. Is there something on the horizon that would make the new processors not be compatible with a...

I'm about to build a new PC, but I need a little guidance on the processor. I'm not looking to spend a lot - I haven't been playing games much anymore, so it doesn't need to be cutting edge. I'm trying to keep it at or less than $150. What are the differences between the cores right now (ie...

Yeah, definitely depends on if the power supply got damaged. It's supplying power and the fan runs, but I'll have to see how it works w/ the new stuff.
