Hi everyone,

Thank you for the help. One question though, what is lucid support?

Ah, thank you dunn2010. Is the spec okay if I was to change the motherboard?

 

[sean6919]

Thank you for your input Stulid and Dunn2010 I will look at the spec that has been made and decide on the final spec. This being said things may change between now and when it is ordered so you may see me again asking for more help. Any more recommendations are appreciated.
