Hm, have asked Amazon how long its been used for and if theirs still a waranty in place.

That's a dang good idea :)
Used stuff is cheap for a reason.

They said they dont have that type of information and unless it states that it has the manufacturers warrant, it doesn't. Ill just buy the new one for £5 more.

Yea considering much more expensive stuff connects to the psu
Getting a new one is best :)

Hello again, Im back.

Right, considering ive got more money and have a stable income ive upgraded to a i5 6600K cooling it with the hyper 212 evo. Ive changed my board to Asus Z170 Gaming Pro and have a few questions to ask:

With my motherboard how many fans can i power through it as my case has 5?
Im wondering if i can have a 3 monitor set up when I get my GTX 980 or GTX 970?
I will also probably have to change my 600W Corsair PSU to something more reliable
Im considering getting this PSU

Hi,
I'd probably go for a 750 or 850 but at least it's a evga G2 series :)

980's are good for 4 displays or at least that is what they say in spec's
970's ?
Probably are good for at least 3 ?
You have to link use to the exact cards to really know.

Is that the PSU?
And what about the other questions?

Dimerz · 04 May 2016

Ill get the 850W, it will cost a bit more but i will save having to buy another PSU when i need more power.

Hi,
Fans wise I don't know you just have to look at the spec's for the board as to how many fans it will have separate ports for
You can always use a fan hub/ splitter if you need a couple more connections.

I'd make sure the cpu cooler specifies z170/ skylake compatible.

I've read and there have been some issues with the cpu's being made with thinner covers so they are easily bent = that does not sound good :)
