6 to 8 pin PCIe connector

Athena Power CABLE-EPCIE1628 1.33 ft. PCI Express 6-Pin to Dual 8(6+2) Pin Linear Extension Power Converter
Athena Power CABLE-EPCIE1628 1.33 ft. PCI Express 6-Pin to Dual 8(6+2) Pin Linear Extension Power Converter

Pros: It connects to one of your Male 6 pin PCIe connectors and converts it into (2) 8 pin Male conectors (1 long , 1 short). Does the Job !

Cons: Took a few days to get here, cause my Rush Shipping Failed, but NewEgg made it up to me with a refund of the Rush charge....No problems.

Overall Review: Well worth the money. If you need a 8 pin PCIe for your New Game Card, and you have at least 2 PCIe 6 pin connectors...this will convert one of those 6pin connectors into two 8 pins....which should then give you the one 6pin, and one 8 pin that you need...Plus and extra 8pin left over....Can't beat that for the price.

SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE500BW
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE500BW

Pros: Still a decent price for the size, but be aware that all the 840 Evo from Samsung have a problem that requires a firmware update to restore how quickly it works (See Samsung Performance Restoration Firmware Update) See more in Cons !

Cons: Firmware fix from Samsung is now available from Samsung Google "Samdung 840 Evo Performance Restoration Firmware Update" Pretty easy if you have Intel and only 1 partition, but can be a big problem if you have AMD, or Amd with more than one partition, or are using RAID. More than 1 partition and Raid can be a problem for Intel and Amd (Fix won't work). SAMSUNG you need to get a decent fix for people with AMD and People with RAID or more than 1 partition. This is not acceptable to give these people a fix mainly designed for intel, and with poor instructions, or no decent fix for long term "read slow performance". Get the AMD people something that works better ! Not New Eggs Fault. If they don't get on it soon, get something else until they do !

Overall Review: Back up things before you do firmware fix. We should not have to fix these new products in this manner. They did respond to the problem, but poorly for AMD users.

CORSAIR CX Series CX650 650W ATX12V 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply, CP-9020122-NA

Pros: It is a solid, reliable Power Supply. Video card requires minimum of 500 to 550, so I got a Corsair 650, decent price.

Cons: It doesn't have modular plugs so it requires you to pack in the connectors not needed.

Overall Review: I would recommend this product.

Read Samsung 849 Evo Firmware Fix Before Buying !

SAMSUNG 840 EVO  SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE120BW
SAMSUNG 840 EVO SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TE120BW

Pros: Nice size, decent Price But Samsung 840 EVO Restoration Firmware needs to be done, Google it, or youtube it before buying. At least they admitted the problem and are trying to address it. But they need to do more to Help AMD owners !

Cons: Over time speed decreases with read on things that are not often used. Samsung 840 EVO Restoration firmware update (fix) needs to be done. Easy on Intel with only one partition, but won't work on anything with more than one partition, or anything in RAID. AMD fix can easily become a nightmare even with there poor instructions. SAMSUNG: Put out a decent repair for AMD and people with more than one partition !

Overall Review: This is Samsungs problem, not NewEggs. I have nothing but respect for Newegg and their Customer realtions people. I am sure they want you to know about this fix for this fine product. Samsung ...Keep working on a better fix for the AMD owners with this unit.

2nd, a rebuild, or a return, my deathadder mouse is not new.

I contacted New Egg told them this was not new, and that The Glide pads are all scratched up, Protective woven wire insulator for the wire of this mouse is about a little more than an inch short (never makes it to the actual mouse, where it should be attached, and isn't recognized by Windows as a Razer Mouse like my old one was. This mouse is recognized as a Microsoft Windows mouse. One invoice paper calls it a DeathAdder Chroma, another a DeathAdder, and on Ad it was called a DeathAdder 2013. NewEgg said they would contact me within 5 days about this, but instead I got a "rate your experience" email from Corn. Seems like a factory Second, or a Rebuild unit, or someones return. I have had a new DeathAdder before and this is not new. Not Happy with this transaction. Good Luck to you !
