PCI-E cable

Odd issue, the tutorial has an objective to connect a PCI-E cable but I cannot find an option to do it. Every other objective so far was reached. The machine is running and mining. I added a second card just in case but neither shows an option. Does the game require a specific GPU card to connect the PCI-E Cable or a pair of identical cards or some other requirement to do it?

In the first steps tasks is telling to buy a Rig not a PC, but if you bought a PC, you can just ignore the task

When you buy a 6x, 8x or 16x rig, you'll be able to complete that task.

I mined a few thousand with the low budget machine I put together, yes it was a PC case since I was trying to limit the budget probably more than I should have. A suggestion though. The store in the game should have some label maybe on the shelf designating what the game considers a rig and a PC...since at least in the older days gamers would refer to their heavy duty PC as a rig versus what the cryptominer today considers a rig. If you want the game to appeal to a wider audience you should try to define for the player what the game means for some terms that may not match with what they know. You cannot expect them to already know cryptominer meanings. A lot of gamers would see this as a new twist on idle gaming but not be knowledgeable of all the details. This would be an ideal point to bring up in the tutorial.

Ok, as a followup...I checked the store and every case there says its is a rig...including the one I used...which was the ultra cheap PCCase Voxel 1. Some of the cases that I looked at would not bring up their name so I could not check if they were a rig or a PC.
