My nephew is building a new PC, and one little detail is holding it up: the 6+2 PCIe connector bumps out too much and hits a small lip on the back plate So, the connector can't sit tight and flush nor lock-in

Does anyone know of good quality compatible cables that have a straight 8-pin connector or no long locking seam for the 6+2
One option would be to snip out the little bit that's holding up on that lip

I have a question for my computer friends. Is it possible to manually upgrade a laptop's GPU ram? I know its possible for desktop computers thanks to @rook and @Leonianuniverse, but if there's a way to do it peacemeal with laptops, I would love to know. Please boost.

I would love to put together a new desktop computer (the current one I have is a bit old). The only problem is that I don't have $2,000 to spend. #ComputerBuilding
