Yep, personally, i would choose manual and set the colour yourself (my own personal preference though).
You could always change it - very simple - if you wanted to play in the future...

Make a mental note we need to set up your memory to 3200MHz (but you can remind me now if i forget).
We need to set up your HDD - partition and run a quick format.
We also need to check you temps/stability with some software - do you have a steam account/games?

We'll need to setup your HDD (can wait) - but it would be good to give the system a run around the block.
Quickly run 'Device Manager':
Quickly run 'Device Manager':
- Start typing Device Manager in the start menu (there won't be text box until you start typing)
- After you've pressed 'De' - select device manage that pops up
- Once loaded tell me if you see any warning/yellow exclamation next to any devices
Wahey!
Ok, install the game of your choice -keeping in mind it's going on your SDD. You will eventually have to have another steam folder for games as you fill your SDD (for another time).
I tend to keep the games i play most or need fast load times (BF1, ARMA 3) on one of my SSDs - and the rest on my conventional drive.
PUBG may benefit from the SSD (no idea - but banished wouldn't) - and it push your hardware. Go for it...
Run HWMonitor in the background, while playing - as soon as you log out look at temps. Or use Windows key/CTRL, ALT, Delete - to look at temps while playing - then go back to game...
ok, ill give it a blast and post back, excited
Shall i run msi afterburner and hw monitor too?

I don't trust Afterburner with early access games (mainly the game) - especially for a first test. We'll stick to HWMonitor first - you'll soon know if you have a serious GFX card problem
Once you've had a few successful runs we'll run afterburner too.
Enjoy - take as long as you like - have a proper play...
Afternoon @Plec, hope youre well.

Games ran fine. Apart from aoe 3 crashing mid game. cpu temp during gaming is 55-60, gpu temp whilst gaming 70-75. Everything seems to be running smoothly as far as i can tell.
when aoe3 crashed, it popped up an error box saying something about memory, cant remember exactly what it said though as i accidently clicked off it.
temps are lower playing banished and aoe3
ive deleted the annoying cotana too haha
