So, I got a new computer case this christmas from my girlfriend. I moved the cases, it was all dandy, but the graphics card showed no display. I emailed PNY, as there is a year warranty. It came down to this.

I was freaking out and all of that good stuff, and just that. Smh.

haha

Haha! I have been there lol

Hey, I almost did the same thing when I rigged up my GTX760 on my new comp.
But the most awesome thing was that instead of showing blank, I had a text popping on screen "ATTACH ALL POWER CABLES TO GRAPHICS CARD!!".

Its almost 10 years ago I last required to build up a desktop computer from scratch, and I have to say, things have changed!

I re-screwed the motherboard on-off 3 times.
I had installed the power supply upside down
I had installed the CPU cooler the wrong way (No, not upside down! I'm not that stupid It was just blowing the air the wrong way)
I was required to re-cable 2 times everything from power, and I just have to say, I thank god for Modular Powers, the upside down switch went quite smoothly!

But hey, I managed to get it together successfully and its still working! And I can play all games I have available with HIGH resolution graphics with decent fps!

Haha, I didn't build from scratch, I traded a laptop for this "gaming" computer (It had a Celeron dual core processor, a Nvidia graphics card that had like 96 CUDA cores) and I've updated it from there. Now running an i3-3220 and a GTX 650 Ti. I'm gonna update the mobo too ^_^ But all that mess totally sounds worth it for you

Maybe I risk losing my nerd cred here, but I honestly hate working with computer hardware. I can do the basics, but I start getting worried/frustrated when I have a spread of dozens of pieces laying all around me, start hitting my head on the underside of tables, plug in the power and nothing works, etc.

Sounds like me and laptops.
