New system for my lad

[Gray2233]

Yeah , I’m sure he will clutter it up a bit so may end getting another drive probably the 2tb , that way I may set up installations to the larger drive and run the opsys on the smaller drive , if that would still work rather than partitioning , if that can still be done .

Also how do you get games onto a pc these days is it all download , or use steam et al .

I run my O/S on a 200gb partition of a 1tb NvME, it's still doable and tbh I'd recommend it. Windows is pretty good now compared to how it was in the past, but sometimes a fresh installation is necessary/easier when troubleshooting and it keeps the rest of your data intact.

Games are mostly installed digitally now, via platforms such as Steam, Epic, and a few others like GoG.

Aye always a good way to do it I found . Do it with my Mac now , and a partition for windows boot camp .

Always happy to help mate, as are many on here.

Looking forward to seeing the end result, it's one hell of a rig you're building!

just when you thought you had got rid of me,

I ordered everything here last night, then called today , and found out they would hold order until everything in stock, but case originally listed is not available

so found this

Also ordered a Thermalright PS120 from ebay seller, not cheap 57 , but guess it is ok , then panicked , thinking as it never said phantom spirit (did say PS120) it was wrong , is this the right thing

I will be calling OC again this evening to cancel those two items of the list you kindly helped with here !

But just checking ..

I'm not sure why you went to that particular outlet, but just to forewarn you're not allowed to link competitors on here as the forum is owned by the OCUK shop.

The Phantom Spirit 120 is absolutely available for £30-35 elsewhere, despite not being in stock on OCUK.

I'm not sure how much the case is as the link doesn't work, but it is available from other outlets than those you linked for the same price as OCUK.
