Graphics card from overclockers doesn't include screws

Who doesn't have spare screws at home... OP time to sell the pc and get yourself an xbox
 
In all seriousness guys, I've been using my stock PSU I got with the case (£26) to power my current fx-4170 and the GTX 970 and have been playing Assassins Creed Unity for the past 4 hours. The PSU has chinese writing all over it. Should this be ok??

EDIT: It says 300w on the PSU. Should be enough I think.

errrmm probably not

The requirement on most 970's is 450 W

Have you found another screw yet?

If not, nick one from your case cover (if they have any) and Buy some more....

Just out of interest what is the spec for your rig?

cant...tell....if...serious???

@OP - Really? If you're trolling you're making a lot of effort and slight convincing.

For the sake of the less knowledgeable here, cheap PSUs are not advisable. They're they heart of the PC and will take it all out if it goes wrong!

I'm trolling with that one. I think you lot have been very harsh with the whole screw incident. I didn't realise that the opposite end of the screw head has like a twisty thing that brings the bracket together and fixes it. Usually a screw hole, if I can call it that has a bit of depth to it where the screw goes into, but the fact that there's nothing on the opposite side of the screw hole confused me.

Easy mistake.

Also, I'm running a CoolerMaster 500w GX-Lite PSU called a which isn't the best but I think it's a bit more than sufficient for the following:

i5 4460
GTX 970
MSI Z97-GD65 motherboard
basic hard drive etc. and basic case fan.
 
I'm trolling with that one.

sigh..... :rolleyes:

Just out of interest.....

How did you remove the case slot covers?

I completely understand that you might not have knowledge that made you confident in placing the card and allowances should be made for all levels of competency, however trolling because you feel that the responses were harsh just reinforces those posts. IMO

It doesn't reinforce those comments such as me being thick, just because I trolled a little bit with my PSU. However I do agree that an eye for an eye would only make the whole world blind.

Yeah I'm an idiot to not fully test the screw.
