Building my rig!

Danny25555 · 24 Feb 2011 at 14:11

I have purchased a new rig from overclockers and all my parts have arrived ( Great service aswell, very impressed!

)
I Am going to be putting the system together myself but my knowledge of computer building isn't too good, I have a good understanding of all the parts ect iv'e just never built a system before and want to get it right first time without ruining my new components, Goes without saying really

i was wondering if there is any guides any of you guys could direct me too, or any hints/tips that you could give me that will come in handy. Bearing in mind i do not even know where to start! Below i will link my components.

Case: Antec 1200
PSU: Corsair TX850 ( Non-Modular )
MOBO: Gigabyte P67A-UD5
Processor/CPU: I7-2600K (1155)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H70
GFX Card: Asus GTX 580
Memory: 8GB Ripjaws @ 1600
SSD: OCZ Vertex Bigfoot 90GB
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
Soundcard: Asus Xonar D1 7.1

Many thanks, Danny.

Thinking about it i should've bought a Modular PSU but at the time, i decided to spend the money to put it towards my G35 Headset fund, For my first proper build i'm quite happy with the cable management

Cheers pal,
And yeah, i have had 4 or 5 PC's before ( And a Short lived Sony Viao) but all came prebuilt and had nothing on this, This time round i saved up my money and wen't all out! (Took quite some time, i am only 15, nor do i have a job) And very glad i did, only had it a few days and can say it is well worth it!

I Have never overclocked a system before but i understand the basic's of how it works ect ect, Would you recommend giving the processor a tweaking too? Graphics & Memory wise i think i shall be fine without OC'ing just yet
