    Advice for New Build

    Advice for New Build

    I got the patriot ones listed above. I am guessing that should be fine right? I also realized I need an IDE connector for my DVD drives (not exactly positive, just always connected it as IDE or does it have both?). Guessing will have to switch to an SATA DVD drive. Suggestions welcome!

    Advice for New Build

    Well, I actually don't mind paying a slight premium for overclocking. But I'm 80% sure I won't be overclocking. If it doesn't require any additional cooling, etc, I won't mind messing around with it. For the CPU, would it be better to get an i7 to stay up to date so I don't have to upgrade...

    Advice for New Build

    Thanks Danny for the quick turnaround in terms of providing advice. For overclocking - it is not something I feel comfortable doing and I am fine just leaving the computer stock. Any from here worth it? MB+CPUs For ram - it seems standard nowadays to go 6 gb - 8 gb at least from the...
