What is the budget and main use for this build?

Plus in future this:

is really handy to post setups direct from the overclockers uk website.

Other than what sandycheeks has pointed out Id suggest you need some hard drives. 250gb is easily filled these days.

Or better yet get 2x128gb ones one for OS and the other for games/whatever.

I am buying the parts all on overclockers I just put it that way for people to look up..

dreadknot · 22 Mar 2015 at 08:07

That why I asked would overclockers build it for me.. Why would I buy pc parts from Amazon then give them to overclockers to build...

If you give us a budget and purpose I'm sure someone will come up with a good spec

Sandycheeks · 22 Mar 2015 at 15:35

Fair enough. Yeah it's most likely that the bios is out of date.

Only need to if you encounter instability, or the CPU is hotter than it should be. I always do it with new builds though.

Is there a beginners guide you could recommend to flash the bios to make the PC POST ?
