I would just get your system up and running first, before thinking about overclocking. Then do a bit of research and get some idea as to how to overclock.

OK thank you for you advise

Any more tips you think i should know before building tomorrow ?

Watch the build videos online.

And don`t forget to use your manuals, you`ll find all you need to know in piecing the parts together.
If you get stuck, Stulid`s usually on 24hr call out.

He doesn't charge by the hour either, like other 'call out services'..

Do you think any fans / Coolers are needed on this build, forgot to ask ?

stulid · 17 Jan 2014 at 21:11

Maybe an aftermarket cooler for the CPU

Check the card is properly seated and do you have the PCIE cables form your Psu plugged into the card?

Good news.

And I believe that AIO cooler you linked to, will fit your case.

Can anybody link me the latest driver for my graphics card ? Can't seem to find it Radeon r9 280x 3072mb GDDR5

Download the catalyst center and then update your driver via that.
