So is this everything I am going to need for what I want? I am about to press buy :eek:
 
BOUGHT!!!! Holy crap!! Can a mod change the name of this thread to "how the hell am I going to put this together"

Thank you to everyone's help on this, its been very appreciated
 
Well done dude.

Get some build pictures up and a picture of all the shiny new boxes as they arrive.
 
Yipee!!! It's all here!! Can't put it all together tonight unfortunately but quick question about thermal paste. Neither cpu or motherboard came with any, is this correct?
 
Hay all! On my new PC!! Very happy with it. Before I post pics I have to do a lot of cable management AND I seem to have a hard drive error! My Seagate hard drive cant be found in My Computer, however it can be seen in device manager, any ideas?
 
Try Start > Right-click Computer > Manage > Then go to Disk Management on the left.

If it shows in there it might just need initialising or formatting - right click the drive name in the bottom pane and see what options you have.

Here are the install pics :-)! Ive got to buy some extenders for the wires running across the mother board, but apart from that, i am quite happy with it!

PC is amazing! I have never used anything like this before! Runs FSX with everything on and REX in a built up environment at 30-40 fps which i am very happy with!

Thank you to everyone who helped spec it for me, very appreciated :D

Why get Seagate again when you were having a problem with the External Seagate hard drive ?

Hay all,
I have an external hard drive (Seagate) but its not very good to watch films off as it keeps "seeking" during the film causing the film to stop playing, this is a 1TB. I could do with a hard drive this size that's suitable to watch films off, or a SSD and a smaller hard drive so that film watching over the network isn't an issue.
Cheers Chris

I am just wondering why is all.
 
LOL its a bit late to question that now :-)! It was what was recommended to me to use, and I put the external hard drive failures down to the lack of reading capability of it. I am not sure on the spec of it to tell you what the read/write figures are
