Hi, A few months ago I posted a thread asking for suggestions for GPUs that would be compatible with my current PC, someone suggested the R9 270x so I have eventually gone out and bought one.
Here's my current specs if you're interested:
AMD A8 6600K Quad Core Processor / CPU running at 3.9GHz (With 4.2GHz Turbo Mode!)
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM
LATEST AMD RADEON HD8570D Graphics!
1TB Hard Drive
SAMSUNG 24X DVD / CD - RW Dual Layer Optical Disc Drive
MSI A78M-E35 uATX Motherboard (Full specifications of this board can be found here)
500W Quiet Power Supply with 120mm Cooling Fan
----------------------------------------------------------
The r9 270x fits my pc dimensions physically, the problem I am encountering is that when I try to fit the GPU into the slot the width of the GPU means I have to unplug 2 other smaller cables to get it to fit properly, the cables are the SDD one and another one (not sure).
Also the r9 270x has 2 6pin connectors which I need to plug into my pc somewhere I believe, I dont have a clue where they might go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, here's some pics of my pc insides! Sorry if my terminology isn't great btw, Im not too pc savvy
