How dare you post that filth in here!?!?!
At least you bought some upgrades right away though...

Motherboard shouldn't affect FPS. It's likely just an ATX/mATX one.
shouldn't cheap out on the foundation of your rig since if the motherboard doesn't work then nothing will, it is up to you if you would rather build your house on sand or stone.
Oh god.It's okay. I bought a Nvidia GTX 980 to hopefully beef it up. lol. Hopefully it all works out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes.Oh god.
You bought a prebuilt thats worth like 300 bucks for 600
Now your buying a 980 in 2016?
Yes.
What GPU would you get for $300? It's not too late to return it. haha. But i didn't see anything better for the same cost. Could spend a little more money for an R9 Fury, but that only seems a hair better
Lel, please explain the benefit of a more expensive motherboard in a pre-built without an overclockable cpu.
Which is why you should never ever buy a pre-build PC. EVER. Everything in it is ****. If you were too lazy to build it yourself, you could've simply paid someone to build it for you or something... smhYeah, i'm returning it. Lol.
Motherboard has a 4 pin cpu power connector and my new psu wont work with it. Everything in it is sooo cheap

gives you room to expand your rig
as you said "Motherboard shouldn't affect FPS" well all the data has to move around somehow so having a bad motherboard would slow that down.
Expand what?
SLI and Crossfire? Performance doesn't scale too well in majority of games.
Storage? Fine if he has 4/6 Sata Ports.
PCIe cards? Unless he has mITX, should have space or might not need it at all.
That's not how a motherboard works lol.
Unless it's using like Gen 1 PCIe/SATA 1 which is likely not the case since it's for new CPU, a 'bad' motherboard 'will not stop data moving around'.
Already looked into that. There are like four 8 pin connectors that split into 6+2, and not a single 4+4Just saying but CPU power plug on PSU is likely 4+4 pins meaning you can unclip it and use it on 4 pin cpu power.

I'll check again. Just looked up the cable listing and it definitely is suppose to come with a 4+4. I went through my cables one by one and didn't see it though. Maybe it just didn't split as easily as the others.Lel, those are for your GPU.
Check your PSU cables properly, you 1000000000000% should have atleast 1 of the ones for CPU, likely even 2 if you brought it new, with nothing missing.

Should be the 2nd one, right?
