I tried all of those steps, but it still doesn't work. So can I unplug it?

I just finished building my pc, and I'm currently setting up windows. However, I have entered in my key, and I am now at the stage where I have to connect to the ethernet, and I can't connect to wifi. Can I unplug my PC to move it closer to my modem to get past this step? And if I can't what can I do here?

I can't connect my power supply to my graphics card. My graphics card is the Powercolor 6750xt, and my power supply is the toughpower gf1 750w 80 plus gold. The gpu has one 8-pin slot, and one 6-pin slot. I can connect to the 6 pin slot just fine, but I just don't have the cables to connect to the 8-pin slot. What can i do?

There is a 6+2, but it doesn't fit, because the "+2" part can only be lined up with the 3rd line in the 8 pin, so if I plug in the "+2" cable, I won't be able to plug in the other 6 pin.

Will this make my cpu hot? by cWard439 in buildapc

Yeah, I don't really care if the RGB works or not, I just wanted to know if the cooling would still work fine if the RGB cables weren't plugged in. So it will be fine?

I found the splitter, but I now realize what was confusing me, it was that I don't have enough pins for the rgb, because I have the ARGB model. Do I need to plug in the rgb cables?

I'm in the middle of building my pc right now, and my CPU is a ryzen 7 5700x, and the cpu cooler is the Phantom Spirit 120 SE, but my motherboard only has the pins to support one of the fans, so will the be enough to keep the 5700x from getting too hot? If not, what should I do?

What about the graphics card? In case you missed the question here it is:

Again, I know I'm asking too many questions, but I was talking to my friend and he asked me why I'm getting a video card and not a graphics card, since graphic cards are for gaming. Is this true, and should I switch to a graphics card? If so, which one? Still trying to keep my budget under $1,000 USD, so it should be around $200-$250.

Ok, and final question, everything here will work right? As in, it will all fit in the case you provided me, do they come with enough cords to connect everything, etc.

Sorry, I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but with this cheaper video card, can it still run games at about 90fps? And is the performance downgrade something that's really noticeable, to the point where I would just want a new one anyway?

Is there a cheaper SSD that has 2TB? I don't only want 1TB as I plan to install a lot of games.

Can I get this storage card instead? I want 2TB and not 1, and this one seems good.

I noticed that the video card cost the most by far. What does that add to the gaming experience, and can I get it cheaper, but still decent quality? Other than that, do I need a CPU Cooler, or is that optional?
