My First Custom Gaming PC
So yesterday i build my first gaming pc. I was trying to make a small (micro ATX), quiet but fast pc for around 1000 eruo’s, so i started looking for the components.

(i know it is a dutch website, but its just to look at the parts)
When the parts finally arrived i started assembling.
I started with taking the case apart so i had some room to work. Then i installed my fans (which are really quiet! A good buy) and my optical bays.
Then i installed the cpu to the motherboard and inserted the motherboard in the case, i inserted all the other parts and it was time to do some cable management!
And now it’s time to do my first start up
All went well, except that I couldn’t get into bios as the screen was not displaying correctly. I fixed this later by trying a different dvi output and it worked
Set my BIOS to AHCI and installed my windows, after this I only needed to put on some software.
After installing the proper drivers and updating windows I ran into a problem. I couldn’t install service pack 1, and I still can’t. I gave up after trying a few solutions and having to reinstall windows twice. So SP1 is still waiting for me to install.
Then I found out there is no proper BIOS for the x6 1100T on my motherboard. I don’t know if this is a problem or not, so I need you guys to help me. As this is my first custom computer I like to hear some tips to tweak/update/overclock my pc. I also think I need to overclock my mobo to support my 1600ghz RAM.
So any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
