First build

[mart1985]

Hi guys,

Finally getting round to ordering my new pc and it should all be here by the weekend.

As this is my first build, this might be a stupid question, but will all the cables etc I need come with the various components? Is there anything I should buy which I will need during assembly?

Also, should I be doing anything to counter static when assembling?

Hi hon,

Thanks for the advice. I will swap the RAM and optical drive in.

I have a friend who said he will build the pc for me but I am not sure I will be able to wait for him to be free to build it!
