Great decision, if you don't have the tools to test it properly, it's not worth it. My friend bought a used Gigabyte P-450 b after a week or so he had coil whine and 2 random shutdowns. His GPU and motherboard were fried because I think the 12v rail spiked. It was a old motherboard so don't think it had surge protectionJust bought a brand new one anyways, guess it wasn't worth the headache for me
I have a new problem now though. I've been using this HDMI to VGA adapter for this old monitor of mine and it seemed to mostly work. I used it off the motherboard of the old system, off my laptop's hdmi port, it's worked for everything I've plugged it into so far but when for my gpu, it doesn't. A direct hdmi to hdmi cable works but not when the vga adapter is on there. It's a GTX 1650 if that's importantGreat decision, if you don't have the tools to test it properly, it's not worth it.

I’ve had the same issue, your GPU outputs a digital HDMI signal but your adapter is likely just a passive HDMI to VGA adapter, which can’t convert it. After some trial and error, I learned that using a powered HDMI-to-VGA adapter (one with a conversion chip) is the way to go. Or if possible, just use HDMI-to-HDMI for the best quality. If you really need VGA, try a HDMI to VGA converter instead of just a basic adapter. Hope this helps!I have a new problem now though.

Can you link one down below if possible. My adapter also said it has an active IC chip, is that not the same thing? This is the once I currently have: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0D11PT5V3?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1I’ve had the same issue, your GPU outputs a digital HDMI signal but your adapter is likely just a passive HDMI to VGA adapter, which can’t convert it.
