Hi i am new to these forums so forgive me if there is any error in my forum etiquette.

I went out of town for a little bit and i had bought some parts for my comp and my friend offered to set it up while i was gone so i let him since he set up his own.

My problems that i am having with my mobo (MSI 990FXA-GD80v2) and my case antec gx500 is that he said i need a specific connector to connect the fans to the motherboard as he said i didnt have enough. I have 5 fans total. 3 that came with case and 2 that i had bought from before hand. I also have cm hyper212evo that is set up and working fine along with the case fans but the 2 other fans he says have no where to plug in.

Basically i dont know what parts i need to connect those other 2 fans which would be pulling air in the front into the case with the 3 exhaust fans pulling out on top and out back. If anyone can help me out with this with what i may need i would be most appreciative.

Also my other question is i have an old processor an AMD phenom 2x2 550 black edition and i was looking to upgrade without seriously breaking the bank and also i am running a nvidia 550gtx ti and was also looking to upgrade that without breaking the bank. I plan on getting these at separate times but i really dont want to spend more than 200 if at all possible or 250 if its a really good deal. So please again forgive me for any forum offenses and all help would be appreciated.

I haven't built a pc in a long time but I believe the cable you are looking for is a "molex to 3 pin" which goes directly from your fan to your power supply (not motherboard). Like I said I haven't built a pc in a long time so I don't exactly remember. But I hope it helps out a little.

Hi thanks for posting I was wondering if you could post a link to this connector. I'm still a bit confused either he is explaining it weirdly or I am just not understanding him.
