Tomorrow I'll post pics of the parts and the case. I was told it would power on so i might get something useful out of it.
The listed video cards are not the same visually but should have the same specs.
Concerns
-
Can I swap the older PSU for my backup corsair GS700 for testing?
-
Are the parts worth selling? If so, how much would they be worth in CAD
-
Where can I get drivers for this MOBO?
-
What HDD would be compatible for a full build?
