thanks for the welcome and i will do once i've built it, fairly new to building own system did one once, never overclocked before so that's why the shop is doing it. the fan looks fairly big does anyone know how quiet/loud it is.

yesterday finally got round to setting up my new system but i have a problem already, got a western digital cavair black 500gb hard drive that will not show up in the standard cmos no matter what setting under sata that i put it at including auto detect, i also enabled sata under integrated peripherals. i have also tried different cables, just haven't got a clue what the problem is or if the hard drive is even working. the problem with me is that i am used to using ide hard drive where you just bung it in and bob's your uncle, any help or ideas on how i can proceed would be appreciated. details of my motherboard is at the top. forgot to mention that the hard drive is brand new straight out the box.
