Question.

Sorry if it's in the wrong section.

My question is, is the stock thats shown on the website the stock thats actually available to pick up from the Newcastle Under Lyme store? I don't want to order online and would prefer to just go down there myself.

Thanks.

Far as I am aware yes, you can order online and select collect at store if you wanted to.

Do they class a 'citizen card' as photo ID? It's all I have.

What do you need ID for?

For when you order it online and collect it in shop, it says they need the card you paid for the order with and some photo ID, driving license. passport etc, but the only photo ID I have is this citizen card.

I would have thought, if you are paying online, then a copy of the invoice would have been sufficient.
Best to ask in Customer Services.

Just take your time and follow the guide in your mobo manual. Any problems, just post.

Just reformatted hardrive and am now proceeding to strip out all old parts of my case, as I need it, lol. Luckily I have another comp to use in case I get stuck, will update as I go along.

Thanks

I can't find the right connection to plug my new psu into my cpu, does the CPU even have a power cable? All I see is a 4 pin slot and my PSU wire that says 'CPU' on is 6 pin....

Only wire I have attached is the mainboard. The huge 24 pin one.

Help

Yes, either 4pin or 8pin. What Psu have you got, can`t remember.

Which PSU did you get? And a 6 pin sounds more like a PCI than a CPU one.
There should be a 8 or 4 pin one, if its 8 pin then it splits in half.

It was 8 pin I'm a plonker, didnt realize I could split it, although the other 4 that isn't plugged in is almost touching the mobo.

Now I just dont know how to plug the dvd and hardrive into the psu.

SATA devices use Molex cables. They'll be the ones that you have the msot of

There are 4 types of cables in a pc.

24 pin mobo
8/4 pin cpu
6/8 pin PCI
Molex
