The wattage doesnt matter if you dont need that many. The one you ordered isnt even 80+ certified and uses cheap parts. It may work for awhile, but it will fail much, much sooner than other PSU's.


how would I go about canceling 1 item of an order?

and I was a dummy and listened to a friend who I thought was somewhat smart with computers and said I should get upwards up 600 watt psu and the one I picked was fine

if there isn't an option to just cancel 1 piece then you might have to call them. a lot of places dont have an option to cancel just 1 item.

that's why there's some 1000w PSU's for really cheap, that arent certified at all, so ur really getting like 400w and lower as time goes by with high fail chance
psu is more about quality than just watts

u would have to give them a call to cancel, or return it once you get it?

so should I get this? I'd prefer getting 600w psu, can you find me one that would be better? I'll just buy it and return the other one

You'll be fine with 500w. There's no reason to get a 600w for nothing.

Ok so I got it all together and it turns out I only have one vga port on my computer which means buying both monitors was a stupid thing to do Since they can't be connected. Least that's what Google says.

Any solutions to this guy's?

Your vid card has plenty of ports.



/e 3 Display port, 1 HDMI and one DVI.




If none came with the card just get and HDMI cable and either the vid card or the monitor should have come with a DVI cable.

Your monitors, both take HDMI, or DVI

Connectors D-Sub, DVI, HDMI


Btw, D-sub = VGA

Connect HDMI from vid card to one monitor, and connect DVI from vid card to the other monitor.

The VGA connector is on the motherboard, NOT the vid card.


/e Just get these:
