Help needed for desktop upgrade

[helpaboyineed]

As the rma for EVGA is quite good (base on one of the hwz user over here.) and if u have any issues, email to EVGA and see if they can transfer ur card to their taiwan side, so u can just send it over to EVGA taiwan and wait for it to come back. (at least your waiting time wont be longer than u send to usa.)

if u have the budget get FTW or SC (cant rmb which is better.)

Hi, was just looking at my current PSU's specs, and realised it only has one 6 pin connector and a 6+2pin connector, while the GTX 1070 FTW requires 2 8-pin connectors, that means I cant get the GTX 1070 FTW or I need to change a PSU ah?

whats your psu? (sorry forgotten )

anyway u can still buy those molex to 8pin connector. unless ur psu really have no molex den get a sata cable.

* but i rmb someone saying it does provide such cable (molex/sata to 8pin)

whereas if u need to buy a new psu can go for SF or corsair and FSP.

er my psu is the Seasonic S12ii 520W, does the GPU come with an adapter? If it does then I can just plug one of my PSU 6pin into the adapter then plug the adapter into the GPU ah?

well actually your psu already have 2 x 8 pin connector so u dun need to get any adapter. check the links i have shown u that u have that. and yes u definitely wont have any issues with using that gpu.

well i still cant say much of this issues myself cos so far cos a lot of them were saying that it also affects the rest of the GTX 1070 some have such questions but seems unanswered or wasn't clear end up what they did to get it working again...other than that ppl hwz did mentioned that they have such issues. so right now if u dun mind, can consider zotac as the 2nd choice.

alright, will keep the Zotac GTX 1070 AMP as a viable option. Is the AMP Extreme worth the ~$80 more?

Don't think I will go into SLI anytime in the near future anyways, would u recommend that I get some extra CPU fans? I believe my current desktop inside only got 1? fan eh.

Wow your case only have 1 fan? Did u put it in the front or at the back? If can try install another 3 more. 2 at the front, 1 at back and 1 at the top. So that at least your system airflow should be balanced.

Not sure cos your case secs indicate so many different size of case fan. But u can look into cybermind pricelist for those 2 fans. (Since u have 1 pre-installed.
