you could have got better gpu and psu if you cut down on that cabinet.

Wrong choice of PSU and cabinet.

Please explain why

I didn't had the choice to upgrade cabinet later.

I didn't had the choice to upgrade cabinet later.

> Corsair VS series PSUs aren't really good. Antec VP450P which is available at same price is a much much better option.

> CM Elite 311 is also not a very good cabinet. NZXT Gamma is a much better choice available for ~2.5k

I have a problem, my monitor is very old, it has only vga port.
However, my graphic card has DP, HDMI and DVI(dual link) ports.
"DVI to VGA is not supported" was written on the graphic card (HD 6670) manual.
What can I do?
(I cant buy monitor now)

 

[netchamp.faris]

Please Help

 

[rijinpk1]

tried hdmi to vga converter?

 

[netchamp.faris]

XFX Radeon HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 128-bit
Cannot find link, I bought it from Lamington Road.

Edit:
Got the link : XFX - United States - AMD Radeon? HD 6670

I didnt tried any convertor, my friend had the DVI to VGA convertor but it is clearly specified (on the manual) that it is not supported.
