    help with first build

    It's all good. :) And I watched newegg's part 3 of how to build a computer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxaVBsXEiok&feature=plcp) so I think I got it as far as that goes. So I guess my only question would be if I need to buy thermal compound or not? Edit: actually, seems like newer intel...

    Wasn't sure if I needed to answer the questions since the build is already done, but I'll update OP.

    help with first build

    I got all the parts and just finished putting everything together. I'll be getting win 7 64 bit home premium later today. I just need help with how to set everything up. Like drivers, setting up the BIOS, etc. Basically just what's the next step after putting it together physically? This is my...

    first build, need help w/ bare drive and mobo

    My case has a 2.5" drive bay, as well as a 2.5 to 3.5" converter, so that's not an issue. I just meant what wires would I need. Could you possibly link the cable/s I need? Edit: Also not sure if it matters, but this my psu...

    first build, need help w/ bare drive and mobo

    Right now newegg has a 500g solid state hybrid for $50, but it's a bare drive. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL111512DE&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL111512DE-_-EMC-111512-Latest-_-LaptopHardDrives-_-22148591-L0A And they also have free 8 gigs 1600 mhz ddr3...

    need help with first build

    alright, so since I'm probably going to end up getting win 7, should I still go with the 660, or just go for the 7850?

    need help with first build

    Sorry, the $500-650 is after tax. And yeah, I generally avoid frys like the plague on bf, but if I could score any good deals, I think it's worth the chaos. I was going to try out linux, then if I don't like it, buy win 7. I've never used linux before though, no. So also never used Wine. And...

    need help with first build

    @Danny Bui: I think the IB is worth the extra money. it's only $10 more, so yeah. I'm still going to wait a little longer though for fry's and newegg's black friday ads to come out before I buy anything. A few weeks ago frys had an i5 3570k + 8gigs 1600mhz ddr3 for $180, but I missed the sale...

    need help with first build

    Hi, I've never actually built my own computer, but I've always wanted to. I figured since mine's getting a bit dated, it was about time to upgrade. And with black friday around the corner, what better time than now? 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc...
