Hi
Been wanting to build a pc for a while now to replace my dwindling 8 year old one.

I've been trying to research the parts and this is what i have come up with.

Also is it all compatible so a novice can install with minimal hassle

How would i install the windows disk with out it?

Also stu are those amd cpu's good i never really read anything posotive about them other than they're living in intels shadow?

stulid · 18 Dec 2014 at 20:22

They are OK, good for when you want to hit a certain budget, plus the GFX card is significantly faster than a 270.

You could copy the disk contents on to a USb stick and install from that.
