New build need help

Do i need purchase any extra cables or thermal paste as parts due tomorrow?

Nope - all cables supplied with motherboard/PSU, screws with case and heatsink comes pre-applied with paste.

Oh, and monitor should come with power and HDMI/DP lead.

That's what I thought, preparation is key :p..

Also one more question I've got a 4K tv with game mode. What would be affected if i use that FPS?

Also monitor could go buy one tomorrow but at some point i would like two when get desk sorted. Much difference in performance if i go for 144hz 1920x1080p 27 inch for temporary?

generic quote said:
Essentially, this setting eliminates some of the video processing to do things such as smooth the picture. The idea is that Game mode will reduce the input lag, which is the amount of time it takes the TV to process an image from a source such as a gaming console and get the image to the screen.

Basically, removes some of the non essential TV crap to help speed up image processing/reduce input lag. It should help considerably from a token read.

Do you mean - 'if I use that resolution/4k'?

At 4K, your FPS will take a massive hit compared to 1080p - but worth a play depending on game (play with settings - reduce textures, no AA etc). But for competitive first person games i would drop to 1080p.

Over the 1440p?

You'll get higher more consistent FPS - but the picture wont be as sharp, especially when using the monitor at desktop/work station (you'll see the pixels) - or even on some slower paced games (strategy). This isn't such an issue in games (in fact you wouldn't notice in frenetic gameplay) - but would, personally, irritate me for work - but then i don't game much.

That said - you've built a system that's primed for 1440p - and will still keep a steady, high FPS at that resolution, with a crisp resolution better suited to a 27" panel (personally).

Recommend you look in store at samples...

just wondering the ARCTIC COOLING P14 BLACK FAN where should i install this at top or front on the case?
Click to expand...
Looking at pics - where is the case fan fitted?

Ideally one fan extracting/venting at the back (behind CPU - this too orientated/venting towards rear of case stock cooler) and your other fan in-taking air from the front.

e.g. look at below pic for example - front and rear fan (ignore the top fans):

Sorry only seeing your reply. The pre installed fan is at the front, so install it at the rear then?

Hey, is there anything i need to do or to wear to prevent static?

Don't wear nylon socks and shuffle around the carpet rubbing balloons all over your body and occasionally touch an exposed bit of radiator (not painted) - every once and a while to discharge yourself.

I've linked this video loads of times, but it always makes me laugh. Don't take any of it seriously.

Yep, that's the best parody of that 'car-crash' of a tutorial. Watched a few times myself for repeated LOLs - the Swiss army knife has always been my favoured tool and you can never have too much TIM (<----Joke OP).

It was good to see the Hardware/YouTube community come out and defend him too when The Verge got him a strike (****s).

Plus the tweezers haha.

Pity The Verge seemed to have been able to maintain their subscriber base despite their horrible treatment of Bitwit Kyle.
