New build query

dave2110 · 14 Nov 2013 at 11:24

Any help much appreciated.

Am about to assemble a PC:

i5 4670, gigabyte z87 d3hp, samsung 250ssd, corsair 805 psu, 2x4gb memory, h100i cooler & a DVD RW in a Obsedian 750 D case.

Should I add a GPU prior turning on for first time or can I add once (hopefully) everything is working and windows installed?

It won't matter. There's no reason not to plug in the GPU, just make sure you connect the monitor to that and not the onboard graphics.

thx, havent actually bought a GPU yet so will wait for a bit to see where pricing settles for gtx780 and go ahead and build without one

Dont forget to set your sata drives to AHCI for your SSD before you install an operating system.
