Hey guys, I wanted to play it safe and make sure I've got everything straight before I dive in. I currently own a HI-Fi A70U3P motherboard and a A4-7300 CPU. I am getting an Athlon 880k. I understand I need a GPU and I got a 960. So, what I want to make sure of is that all of that is compatible. I know the cpu and mobo is, but the fan that comes with the cpu is bothering me. It is surprisingly good. But I don't seem to have the fan hookup on my mobo. Is it ok to plug it in to my PSU? I have a EVGA 500W gold 80+. I'm sorry that my question is all over the place. thanks in advance.
