I've bought my very first ssd and decided to go for the 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro now,
which is part of "the great upgrade" consisting of :
- Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz
- Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77
- TeamGroup Elite 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel
- Xigmatek Aegir SD 128264 CPU Cooler
- Corsair TX750 PSU
- MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III OC V2 3072MB
- LG BH10LS38 Blue ray burner
Now I currently have win 7 on one of my 3 hd's, but I want a clean install on the ssd.
Do I need to create a partition on it beforehand, or can I just put all new parts together, straight from the boxes and follow these steps, and do it during the win 7 install?
- Connect only new SSD (and blue ray player) - once booted go straight into bios and set storage conroller to AHCI. - reboot, and insert windows 7 dvd - install win 7 from disc.
Any other tips/advice I need to think off with all these new components?
