Whoa. It's not often someone talks to me from the future.Happy Monday!
As for risers - just make sure if it supports the full PCIE gen 3.0 bandwidth. Also it probably doesn't provide the full power that the motherboard slot can - check if your GPU would be OK with a riser in google.
As for sata to 6pin - yeah, pretty stupid. The usual rule of thumb is if your PSU don't have high power wires coming from it better not risk it. When I was pushing my old PSU to the max with a low power videocard it just refused to start and made beeps so nothing bad came out of it (other than wasted money on the riser). So if you're gonna try that don't get your hopes up.

the 12V pins on SATA power connector should be expecting no more than 4.5A in total. you might want to consider not buying that unless you want to melt the adapter on the connector side ._.
Dang. dodged that bullet huh.
I have a 300w tfx psu without the 6pin conector. its a single rail 12V so I might just mod that then. sacrificing some of the sata conectors for this should be ok.
from what I've gather I could power a rx 570 with 300w. it would be interesting to try it out.
Its a seasonic unit so It should not be garbage but anyway. better safe than sorry.
Thanks y'all
since I dont have the gpu yet, I might just buy a riser to test with another gpu that have similar power draw. worst case I have a riser for another build
I've been running an RX 570 off a modded 240W (200W on the 12V rail; spliced a 6-pin PCIe onto the EPS and SATA cables) Dell Optiplex PSU. I had to reduce the power limit by 20% in afterburner to avoid triggering OCP, but it's been working fine since (alongside an i5-2400 (~75W when fully loaded according to HWmonitor), four sticks of 1.5V DDR3, a USB 3.0 controller card, an SSD and four fans). If your PSU can deliver 300W on the 12V rail alone I'd guess it would work fine unless you have some very power hungry components in there). I'm not happy with the reduced performance though (I also wanted an ambitious modding project!
) so I'm moving to a 350W MeanWell and G-unique setup

good to know! thanks for that!
I have a 95w cpu (4th gen i7) but I did undervolt it. it should be probably around 250w on the 12v rail. I'll check up my specs latter. I dont game that much but I use some cad applications and blender so thats what I want to use it for at least for now
No worries, looking forward to seeing how it turns out. The i5 2400 is also a 95W TDP part, though as it's a conservatively clocked 4c4t part I don't think it ever actually consumes 95W.
Had a follow-up doctor's appointment after my surgery today. It's been two weeks, discharged from the hospital a week ago, and everything seems to be healing properly (though I'm not going to say there's not a decent amount of pain and discomfort involved even with some pretty hefty painkillers). Good news though, as I got test results back from after the surgery saying the removed tissue had "clean edges" (that's a direct translation, no idea about a proper English word for it), i.e. no cancer cells along the edges of the removed tissue. Which means it's almost certain they've gotten rid of it all. I honestly haven't been very worried (the doctors at my local hospital are apparently world-class when it comes to this kind of surgery), but it's still a very nice message to get. Now if only the swelling would subside so I can sit in a damn chair again Investing in a standing desk before surgery has proven to be a very, very good idea though.

@Valantar Clean edges translates well. I hope for a speedy recovery. I just had two uncles die from cancer (plus a scare for me a couple years back) so I'm all too aware of the situation :/
@Valantar hope you have a speedy recovery. that sounds good news
