ok, that makes sense. thanks for explaining that. so many things are different than the way they used to when i used to build pc's that i'm running to try to catch up, lol but i have one more question for anybody that would know. i went to look at video cards, the amd rx-480 8gb but their are different brands and i noticed that the best ones are the sapphire nitro, msi, xfx, and asus. which one of these brands would you recommend? i want to get the best one but i want to get one thats quieter as far as the fans go but will get the job done and do it the best graphically.
