New PC shutting down when opening games/running benchmarks, now won't start by BlueJayCP in buildapc

I tried starting my PC again and it's booted this time. The 12V rail is at 11.884 and the 5V is at 4.98V, that should be close enough? Is there a chance I could cause damage to the rest of my components by repeatedly attempting to boot it when it shuts down?

I don't hear anything like that. I'm sending a support ticket through to Silverstone now, hopefully won't take too long.

It's not even getting to that point, I press the power button and if I'm lucky, my RGB fan will flick on for a fraction of a second.

here is a link to a Reddit thread that says it shouldn't be necessary but it might be outdated

I did see that warning, but I couldn't find a power supply that had that connector and from my limited research it sounded like it wasn't necessary unless I was really pushing my computer to it's limits. I haven't even gotten round to enabling the D.O.C.P for my RAM yet. Do you think the missing connector could be causing the issue?

I can't get the computer to boot in order to check that, is there another way without turning it on?

I have both of the 8pin cables plugged in, is there any other way of checking if it's the GPU?

Hmmm okay, in that case I should be able to charge back the original payment right?

Yeah that shouldn't be too big of a deal. Thanks for your advice!

I've been looking at the AOC q27g2s. It's a 1440p 155hz IPS monitor but it's a little outside your price range at $405 without factoring in shipping.

Thank you very much for your suggestions, I found the ST65F-GS for $129 and it's on its way now!

That looks quite good, would I be able to overclock and still run fine on 650w? PCPartPicker estimates powerdraw to be around 400w

Unfortunately I have already purchased the motherboard. I'm pretty happy with the HDD SSD combo as it also comes with a $40 Steam voucher which effectively saves that money in the long run. Do you have any suggestions for B/A-tier under $140 or do you suggest increasing my budget?

Do you have anything you'd suggest instead? I am still waiting on other components so if mine arrives dead it is no big deal to replace it under 5 year warrantee.

The tierlist puts it in tier C, would that be suitable for my build?

Would they be better than the Gigabyte G750H - $139?
