First PC Build, How does it look? [WAITING ON PARTS]


Recommended Posts

So heres what my build came down too... Decided to get 8gb as it is my first build and I always want room for upgrading later. But... Here it is. Didnt get the K just because , as I said before, I can buy a new processor if i want to OC.

It looks good man.

I'd add a HDD in the near future. Other than that, I think you're going to enjoy it. :good:

I FORSURE plan to get one. Also, I need an optical drive which does blue ray too. For now tho, I'm going to install the OS via USB (windows 7) than upgrade to 10. The rest of the parts should be here today. Already have the case, processor, and motherboard.

I'll post pictures when they come! It's time to watch how to put together a PC :\ aha thanks!

Putting PC's together is cake. Main things you need to worry about is RAM installing and CPU installation.The RAM because the slots can be deceiving on how much pressure is required to snap a stick into place. If you feel like there too much resistance, a lot of times just a tad more will get it in. Not to much though. Then for CPU, thermal paste. You literally need the amount of a cooked grain of rice. You don't need a lot, and cleaning that shit out of tight spots is a serious BITCH

Two sticks is faster than 4 in dual channel boards if the they're dual rank sticks.. I dont know if they are or not. Not more than 2% difference for the average user though.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

Hammerdown... 1%

The only reason you'd want 2 higher capacity sticks over 4 lower capacity sticks is the memory controller... When you have all 4 DIMM's in use, it maxes out the memory controller and limits overclocking abilities. Otherwise, zero difference at stock speeds.
