Got PC and ran into problems but nothing too severe but like always nothing works first time.

Need to swap the motherboard to a new case so I change the PSU as the existing case has a weird small power supply and I'd lose 2 drive bays if I fit gfx card in this machine. Have old mini tower pc's kicking round so not a biggie just hassle.

The other problem my 700w power supply I bought the other day only has 1 6pin pci connector and the card needs 1 6pin and 1 8pin so had to order a dual molex to 8pin adapter which will take a day or 2 to come and that's annoying.

Nothing's ever easy when you're budgeting lol.

The original 300w power supply is one of these

which I believe are very good quality power supplies so will keep for some future project or maybe just flog it it is 80 plus certified.

Often when you are to budget focused it actually gets more expensive because you need to modify ;) I go there all the time

[Desertboy]

If anyone else needs there PC case modifying I can help ;)

that's some beautiful workmanship, you are a true artist.

And like all artists I have my own custom signature this time I signed the internals of the case in my blood ;)

[Desertboy]

It works ;) a lot faster than my old PC lol not hard was an early quad core.

Got fusion installed so at weekend will spend some time going through the getting started tutorials.
