That's correct. In Microsoft Word, you are looking for Line Spacing and Paragraph Spacing, whereas in Google Docs, those settings are labeled as Paragraph Spacing Above and Paragraph Spacing Below.

As for the first letter, isn't that what we call Indentation?

Should you add space before or space after when adjusting paragraph settings?

I was browsing a site where the 1050 Ti wasn't listed as "much stronger" than the MSI RX 560, but rather just "slightly better." However, upon further inspection, it seems the performance gap is actually a bit wider than just "slight." I will go with the 1050 Ti. Thank you for the assistance.

I could use some expert advice here. From what I’ve been reading online, these two cards are roughly in the same performance bracket: the EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and the MSI RX 560 Gaming. However, the second option is significantly cheaper. I was already leaning toward purchasing the first one. Should I reconsider?

Since I’ve decided to pass on the GTX 960 and wait for those upcoming RX cards instead, I have a couple of questions. First, if I'm looking to stay under a $250 budget, would it be worth my while to look for deals over in Germany? Second—and this might sound like a rookie question to some of you—what exactly is a "benchmark" card? Which model should I be targeting, and how can I identify one?

Adam Moore3 said:If you can be absolutely certain that the EVGA unit is reliable—meaning no bulging capacitors or similar defects—then it’s a solid choice. You don't even need to go out and buy a brand-new one. However, if you decide to purchase something new, I would definitely recommend the EVGA 500 W1 over anything from Corsair. Why bother with that series? Just stay away from it.

The EVGA unit is brand new, purchased from the exact same retailer as the graphics card. Surely they aren't lying about the stock?
Is anyone else looking at this listing? I came across an offer for a Corsair RM550x on a local marketplace site here in Canada. It seems like a decent find if you need a reliable power supply for a quick build. Is it worth picking up?

I can't seem to track down an EVGA 400 here in Canada. I did manage to find an EVGA 500 W1 and a Corsair RM600, both priced at roughly $65. Which one should I go with?

The power supply is brand new, unless it’s been sitting on the retailer's shelf for far too long.

This might be a bit off-topic, but I certainly didn't anticipate running into these kinds of power supply issues. Will a Corsair RM550x be sufficient here? Just as a quick reminder, I am working with an i5 650 build where I plan to install a GeForce GTX 960.

Yes, that confirms it. Does knowing the specific manufacturer change anything for us?

I found this tucked away in my garage. Up until now, I haven't really had any need for a gaming rig. Does that mean none of this is worth keeping? Also, what kind of power supply would actually fit this setup, and what kind of price range should I expect to pay?

Here I am again. I have no idea how much longer I should be waiting on this RX 460, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. With an eye on eventually picking up a GTX 960, I went ahead and swapped out my old power supply for a 480W unit. It has all the necessary connectors, yet I find myself facing another dilemma. This new unit provides 20 A on the 12V rail, but I have read somewhere that this might be insufficient. My original 300W power supply only provided 15 A on the 12V rail. Will this setup actually work?

Thanks everyone. From what I can see, it definitely makes sense to wait for this RX 460 in any case.

wiredotter14 said:A setup like that probably won't have the right PCIe connectors, if you ask me. I'd say there's a 95% chance of that being the case.

The PC features a PCIe x16 slot. Is that what you are referring to?

Timothy Kim60 said:The main issue is that the first retailer is overpriced. 😬
Plus, they offer an inferior cooler and a shorter warranty period.

If you aren't in a massive rush this week, wouldn't it be wiser to wait for the next generation of cards? For that same budget, you could likely pick up an RX 470 instead.

Thanks, but now I have a technical question.
The computer I am looking to upgrade is a basic office PC featuring an i5 650 processor, 2 cores, 4 MB cache, 4 GB of RAM, and a 300W Power Supply. Is this feasible? Is the processor powerful enough? I noticed somewhere that a GTX 960 recommends a 400W Power Supply, though some systems apparently run fine on lower wattage.

Could an expert please explain the difference between this and that card? There is a massive price gap here. The first one is way out of my budget, while the second fits perfectly—but honestly, it feels almost too cheap. What am I missing?
