    Think I have it, but presumably all the cables that come with the PSU are the ones you need, to plug into everything that needs power, i.e. hard drive etc

    I think I know what you mean, my current PSU is not modular, so I have to unplug everything from the motherboard and take out the PSU, then with a modular one, I plug in the cables I need in the PSU (assuming I may not need them all ) then install the new RMX PSU, is that correct ? There is...

    Thanks so much for your reply, I did suspect the 850 might be over kill, so will go for the lower one, on the other note, could you please explain what you mean about rewiring all the power leads, you are correct my current PSU is not modular, but I thought it was just a matter of taking out the...

    Hi Again I have now replaced the graphics card with the ASUS GT710-4H-SL-2GD5 GeForce GT 710 2 GB GDRR5 with 4 x HDMI Ports that I linked too, and now have 32gb DDR3 memory installed and a 1TB SSD and 2 TB SSD and it seems all ok, I also changed the fan over the in the motherboard over the GPU...

    Mmm food for thought I guess, I wouldn't want the CPU slowed down, although it does say because of contention of memory, and I've just increased it to 32gb, so their should be plenty now, I suppose I could just give it a go and see what happens, although I'm hovering over that graphics card with...

    Ok thanks for your input, so what about the other 3 ports I mentioned on my PC that are not connected to the graphics card, I'm guessing they have been disabled, could I enable one of them to run the the display ? my thinking is that I obviously won't be using the display tablet all of the time...

    Ah ok, incidentally I noticed recently I also have 3 ports at the back above the graphics card, which have little rubber covers over them, I've never took notice of them before, I guess as I never needed too, but I took the covers off, and am I right in thinking these are the VGA, DVI and HDMI...

    Hi again Just taking a look at my installed 1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 520 graphics card, I have input ports of a DVI, VGA, and HDMI, I thought with these I would be able to connect 3 displays, I have 2 Monitors, one connected to the HDMI, and one to the VGA, so I tried putting a display tablet into...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New Parts needed for an 8 year old PC

    Thanks again, yes I did think that as I only seen one HDMI port in the one you linked too. If I were to put in the card with the 4 HDMI ports would I have to take the existing graphics card out, to replace it with the said one, or can I have 2 cards in ?

    Thanks again for your help and time, I ordered 4x8gb DDR3 1600mhz crucial memory (can't seem to get the Samsung DDR3) but like you say crucial is a reputable brand anyway. The graphics card you mentioned I couldn't find, does it have display port inputs, or HDMI ?

    I use photography software i. e. Photoshop. Lightroom. Luminar, etc, sometimes I run 2/3 together, I often find lightroom runs very slow, reading on other photography forums a lot of people seem to have 32gb of memory running these programs or similar, it could be due to the big file size of...

    Thanks again for coming back to me, I'm trying not to send anything through the post at the moment, as the cost of postage and worry of it not getting there in one piece puts me off, also the cost of fitting I'm guessing wouldn't be cheap, I may take another look at it in the new year. On...

    Thanks again for your advice, I don't think I would feel confident fitting that, as I would be worried about cocking it up, the usb port card seems more straightforward, as I said I'm a bit of a technophobe 😁

    Ah ok thanks again, this is something I will have to check, I thought the only fan was the only one in the power supply. If you could please look at the specs of my PC above do you think it's possible to add HDMI slots to my PC along with the PCIe USB hub I linked too, I was looking at this one...

    Thanks for the reply. The fan I refer to is the one in the power supply I guess, I have heard a noise now and again coming from the tower so assumed it was the fan, it could be the Sata hard drive I guess, but I am going to replace that anyway, so it shouldn't be an issue, I am thinking because...

    Hi I have a PC which was built by PC Specialist in 2012, I think I may need a new fan for this so would like some advice on what sort I would need to change it, as I am guessing the particular fan is no longer available. I would also like to put in a 5 port USB 3.0 PCI express card, as I only...
