New Gaming Rig Advice..

Yes, Flash to the F6 BIOS straight away.

USB - FAT 32 Format - BIOS on stick - q-Flash hold <END> key - direct to drive - follow on screen prompts.

EDIT: Would still like full spec - and reused parts if any.

Stupid question in coming. Can I just use the stick that I did it with last time that already has F6 on? I don't need to re format it do I?
 
Spec is...

Case: Corsair 200R
CPU: Ryzen 5 1500x
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz Hyper X
GPU: I believe it's a GTX 760, he is borrowing his friends for now until he can afford a better one, will have to double check that though.
PSU: Corsair VS550 550w.
Motherboard: GIGABYTE AB350 Gaming 3.
SSD: Drevo 60gb
HDD: 1TB
 
AHCI (probably set by default) and with that memory you could set the XMP?

And boot order for install

Did he get the memory from same place as you - if so cost?
Time and date are wrong, do I need to change them now? Do I need to load optimised defaults? Think I remember you telling me to do that last time.

His memory is only 2133mhz and different to mine, I have Corsair vengeance 3200. Was 64 quid I believe.
 
Thanks very much for noticing that Plec. He doesn't have the money in his account so being the great big cousin that I am, I've purchased them for him and he can transfer me the money once he's refunded the money from the hyper x set!
 
Windows installed. Well I'm getting quicker mate, that wasn't to bad was it! Took me about 2.5 hours with some breaks. Will do windows updates and stuff tomorrow. Will then need to look at getting him an activation key when he can afford it.
 
A sata cable! Bloody hell that must have been infuriating. The problem I had with my motherboard was enough for me, that nearly drove me over the edge.

Forgot to ask you, don't think I've ever updated my Samsung Evo SSD's firmware of install the magician software, is there any benefit of doing either?
