Sorry pasted off mobile, let me know if thats everything and ill order now!

stulid · 7 Jul 2015 at 21:43

Looks fine to me.

9dal39 · 7 Jul 2015 at 23:44

sweet ordering now!

9dal39 · 8 Jul 2015 at 00:06

got declined on the 12 month finance, so just gonna pay it all off at the start, wanted to pay like 1500 off and pay the other 300 off later on but its no biggie ill just pay the lot together it makes it easier anyway as dont have to worry about the extra £29 admin fee!

9dal39 · 8 Jul 2015 at 10:07

stu probably not the right place to ask all this but as i say ive been out of the game a long time.. could you suggest some good programs these days..

Best free antivirus around these days?
best spyware/adware and all that too?
erm monitoring software like im assuming i may aswell download cpu-Z and speedfan maybe? or is there better ones?

9dal39 · 8 Jul 2015 at 10:21

ORDER PLACED!

just to wait for delivery, I was going to get them to build it but cba waiting days for a response to an email so ill just stop being lazy and do it myself!

stulid · 8 Jul 2015 at 10:25

Will be a very fast system.

As for software ask in the windows and other software section, I dont use a software based anti virus.

9dal39 · 8 Jul 2015 at 10:28

ahhh okay thanks mate!

never know i may be back to ask for some build assistance if i get stuck with anything!

9dal39 · 8 Jul 2015 at 21:15

highly unimpressed like hah I should have just ordered the pieces that were in the weekly deal and ordered the rest later, I ordered then like an hour later they put the RAM £10 down in the weekly deal, and the monitor down £20 in the weekly deal bummer.. wonder if maybe they'll let me order something else taking that £30 off the price of it maybe lol..

9dal39 · 8 Jul 2015 at 21:23

Stu if i could get that £30 off something else would it be worth adding another 16GB of ram? and would it just go straight into the other 2 ram slots on this board, even with there already being 2 in and those being dual channel? sorry for the nooby question!

9dal39 · 9 Jul 2015 at 09:57

never mind ill take back those last two statements OCUK refunded me the £30 difference since it was within like 30 minutes of the new weekly deal coming! what a company had no obligation to do it and did it anyway!

9dal39 · 9 Jul 2015 at 11:42

Stulid i know its a bit late now but would these not of been better than the processor mobo and ram i chose? and have more longetivity and better OC potential or am I better off with what I have?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-058-TG

if these are better ide considering sending the parts I purchased in my order back and reordering these for the £100 difference would it be worth doing or should I just stick with what I have as I believe its getting delivered today between 12-1! let me know what you think asap or anybody else here give me an opinion please!

I won't open them until very late on tonight so ill await a reply in the mean time!

stulid · 9 Jul 2015 at 11:50

I did say in post#8 that the cpu is better, but at extra cost that would have meant smaller drives.

But theres nothing at all wrong with an i7 4790K.

9dal39 · 9 Jul 2015 at 13:47

ah sweet ill just stick with this for now be more than good enough, overclock when needed and maybe when its about 2and a half years down the line and that free gigabyte board is nearing the end of being able to be used ill just upgrade it to the latest board with some ddr4 and possibly update the cpu and either resell the old components or put them in a secondary machine, for when my friend comes round

stulid · 9 Jul 2015 at 15:55

The 2for1 offer was for the black edition board, you went for the gaming7 bundle.

9dal39 · 10 Jul 2015 at 09:33

Stu you around I need to paste two images here off my mobo and psu so can ask you if ive made the right connections!

9dal39 · 10 Jul 2015 at 09:42

Below is an image of my motherboard the colour codes are as follows:
Dark Blue - My Mobo + CPU Power Connections
Light Blue - USB 3.0 Front case connection and usb 2.0 front case connection
Red - Obv RAM Slots used these are correct yeah?
Burgundy - Case audio cable (assuming for the front 2 ports)
Purple - GFX Card Slot
Yellow - CPU fan port
Pink - SATA Port used for SSD (is this the correct one to use or should I be using a different one or doesn't it matter?)
Black - these are the cables that were from my case and are plugged in as follows from top left its PLED+ then PLED- then the POWER SW 2pin, then from bottom left, HD+, HD-, then RESET SW 2pin. (are these all correct?)
Green - Sound Card Slot from old pc is it needed or should I use my mobos audio heres the card (Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 PCI-Express Sound Card with built in Headphone Amp)
