I was on a roll....up to 1.....
 

The 10 pin connection on the PS is for a proprietary motherboard main power connection.  MB makers do this so you have to buy "their" stuff.  Dell is bad about this. That being said don't use it unless your MOBO calls for it. For your "12" pin connection on the gpu you will use 2 cables.  They will be the "6+2" cables but just use the 6 part of each cable to connect to the gpu.  The other end having "8" connectors plug in to any of the "CPU/PCI-E" connections of your PS.  Hope this helps.
Knowing what MOBO you are using would help us a lot.

Dang near dinged a young German sailor at Nordholz Naval Airbase, Germany back in the late 70's with the main rotor of my OH-58A.  I landed to refuel and he got really close to the rotor disk as I was shutting down. Once I stopped rotating I showed him that he no clearance at all as the blades flap at slow speed a lot.

Some of you are silly.  The only thing the vaccine does is instruct your body to produce the antigen/protein/marker that is found on the surface of the actual virus.  There is no virus in the shot.  It does not splice itself into your dna or anything.  If you feel unwell, that is merely your immune system's B memory cells & helper T cells making note of the protein.  Which shot you get doesn't determine how strongly your immune system reacts.  How badly you feel isn't an indication of how robustly your immune system responds.  Many people who caught a 'mild case' of COVID is because their immune system didn't mount a strong reaction, & contrary to getting over it easily, they actually carried it around for several weeks as opposed to those who felt really sickly and got over it.  As a result of having what they thought was a mild case & actually carrying it around for many weeks, it resulted in most of the mutations, & worse, put them at 60% greater chance of dying within six months after contracting the virus compared to people who felt really horrible & recovered.  That's because of the long-term damage that the virus did to several of their systems over the long-term infection they carried.  Strokes, neurological damage, heart damage, kidney damage, etc...  Ironic that the people who haven't... or didn't get a shot because they thought they wouldn't get really sick or thought they had a mild case are the ones 60% more likely to die from it.  And among those that did survive their 'mild case' of the virus, a surprising number are going to be living with long-term or permanent damage to various systems of their body.  The chances of contracting COVID & it fucking you up are WAAAY higher than any danger the vaccine presents.  But do what makes you happy.... & remember... I told you so.
 

Neither have covid in it unlike the flu shots which have the dead virus in it. mRNA supposedly activates your immune system to fight covid, then turns you into a zombie. The other one has a covid protein in it, but not actually the virus... and then well.. turns you into a zombie. 
In any case, you can apply to be a zombie on the cod4 zombie server. 

Been there, done that, got a patch...

Almost 24 hrs after the second shot.  Arm is just a bit sore, not much.  Hurts about the same as when Sally knifes my ass in FT1.

My thoughts also Ronnie.... Here's your tag Fly, don't misplace it....

Hey there,
 
I was itching to replace my old faithful Intel i7 4770K OC'd t0 4.0GHz (mild), 16GB of DDR3 1600mhz and GTX1070. It has not been passed on to my wife.
I finally managed to find an Asus RTX 3070 Tuf OC in a local shop on the West coast. If you follow the hardware scene, you know that its been super hard to find the Nvidia RTX 3000-series cards since launch. Scalpers have jumped on them, re-selling on E-bay for twice the card's worth. And/or miners cut deals with manufacturers to buy bulk and availability for the gamers have been very problematic.
 
Because shops dont want to say no and want to keep customers happy, they dont want to sell all their cards to crypto miners, they want to sell to peeps that order other parts from them, aka a pre-built. I like to build my own, but this time, its was a little bit different.
This is what i got, had good prices for what it is. I splurged too much on the motherboard, but its both a beauty and a beast. Beautiful beast lol. I probably won't push it to its limits right now, but its got room for overclocking in the future.
10700K, closed-loop 240mm Lian Li water cooler, 32 GB of Kingston Fury 3200mhz CL16, RTX 3070, MSI Z490 ACE motherboard, coolermaster H500 case with a good Corsair RM850x power supply. SSD is a 1TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS NVME drive.
 
Can't complain! There is always something new around the corner (aka z590 and Intel 11th gen, or ryzen 5000 (unavailable)), so yes I could have waited for something new, but with covid, its hard to find parts at launch without being price-gouged or suffer from early adopter fallouts.
The picture doesn't look too nice, and the protective film on the case window is still on. I will remove it once I move into my new home.
 
Your thoughts?
 
 

Normally happens around 6pm my time... So I bail to eat.  Some things are more important than getting frozen by you idiots.

Best thing to have is a good backup that can be restored from a recovery disk.  Windows 10 has a backup built in but never used it as I find it a bit lacking in features.  I use Acronis, but there are free backup programs out there.  The down side is that you need enough HD space to hold your backup, but with a 5TB usb external drive running at about $100-125 these days it's well worth having.  Just make sure that the backup is some what recent if you don't have it running on a scheduled time. 

Good find Weed.  I've moved Steam and Origin games before, but your link covers just about all the sites.

Two questions.  1. Are these Steam games? Steam games can be transferred to any drive.  2. Are the pictures just things that you collected over the years?  Pictures can be moved to just about anywhere and can still be accessed.  A 5tb USB 3 portable drive can be had on Amazon for $100-110 or so.  Transferring the pics to USB drive means that you could take all 54,963 pics of your Grandkids to the next XI Fest.
