I've got a gold Corsair RM850 PSU, will it be sufficient enough to run either GPU you posted?

Yeah you'll be good the 480 has a low TDP of 150, that PSU is plenty.
I'd recommend that XFX 8GB version for $229. Excellent deal.

Incoming dumb question:
Graphics cards are just plug an play+installing new video drivers correct? I don't have to reload OS or anything, and I won't lose anything currently on the desktop?

Correct, just plug it in and install the latest drivers.

Not much has changed in the last couple of years, talk to the guys that had to manage jumpers.

Just finished building. That took way longer than expected. Turned it on and, to my relief, the damn thing actually booted up into Bios without any issues and it seems to recognize everything correctly. I was paranoid the whole time that I'd fricked something up.
Putting on the CPU cooler was probably the worst part. I'll keep a close eye on it these first couple days to make sure I got it done right. Now to figure out this bios nonsense and install Windows 10.

If anyone listens to PCPer's podcast they just read my Patreon donation and acknowledged the donor(me). Wasn't expecting a Kentucky fella to correctly pronounce my surname.
Actually caught me off guard. Had it playing in the background and heard someone say my name.

Sold my LG 4K monitor for $40 more than I paid for it.

I'm about a month out from getting a new phone. At this point, I'm just wondering if the OnePlus 3T is really as much of a no-brainer as I think it is.
Posted on 12/1/16 at 11:55 pm to ILikeLSUToo
If it didn't have the ugly physical button and fingerprint scanner on the front I would have considered the 3T.
But still absolutely love my 6P so I'll hold steady until something bests it.

You should of tried doing a build in 1990 when I did my first. It's a snap now. There are so many choices available. We had to track down computer shops that were willing to sell individual components.

I come in peace. Not trolling. Serious question.
I looked up some gaming pc's and my goodness they are so expensive compared to xboxes and playstations. Is the quality of gaming that much better on a pc to justify such a disparity?

I think so. It's also much cheaper to build it yourself.
With PC gaming, you have access to a much wider library, cheaper games overall, more mod support, the ability to modify settings, and upgrading hardware.

This really isn't the case as much as it used to be. Consoles started joining the sales market and retail stores are begging people to buy physical with their gamer programs like best buy and amazon giving 20% off.
Posted on 12/6/16 at 11:21 am to Devious
That does sound better. I don't know a lot about PC gaming, but I am looking to buy a gaming system and I wanted to expand my horizons, but dang some of the pc's are almost $1,200! It made me wonder how awesome the graphics must be in order to justify it.
