Triple XXX Freebies (games,ssd etc etc) with this 8Pack Z170 6700K ATX Bundle!! xxx Amazing Offer..

Building This Beast
I bought the bundle today so I should get it Saturday. 3 questions
1. Will my SSD with window 10 work or will I have to do a fresh install
2. This is my first build. Is there an easy recommended place / Idiots guide to put it together?
3.How long should this take. I already have a 750w corsair / massive case / GTX980TI / 2 x 2tb drives and 2 x SSD not including this one?
I'll worry about overclocking when its put together. I'm really looking forward to this on my Predator X34 :-)

I'm good mate, still lurk around and OcUK is still my home. Just wished I had the time to play with kit like I used to do.

Nice deal and I need to buy something for a possible upgrade. Tempted to buy this but I not sure its worth the hassle of swapping my 4970K out. I do fancy having a play with X99.

Win 10 will work fine. It's very easy to install no idiots guide but really easy so I am sure you will be fine. If any issues at all just post on here.
 
Bought this and so far very impressed. I've only got around to installing everything and sorting out my OS and all the required backing up etc. Not tried the OC yet. Only niggle is not instructions at all with the cooler and no long screws. Not a problem as it was pretty straight forward and in my case I needed to mod the fitting a bit anyway. I'm only mentioning these niggles as I think this kind of deal is awesome for someone who wants the hassle taken out of choosing right components (and wants a great deal too!) but if someone is after a 'intro' to PC building in this way some links to basic installation of anything without instructions would be helpful.

I'll feed back once I've OC'd it. Only played BF3 so far but going from a 4ghz Q9650 (xeon equivalent) using a GTX580 it definitely feels smoother and I can finally play larger games (more players) properly. I know I'll need to upgrade the GPU soon for recent games
 
The cooler mount I found fairly easy to be honest. Easier than most air coolers but I will maybe post up pics of mounting correctly tomorrow.
 
Here are the instructions for mounting the cooler:
Parts laid out!! (PICS = slight RAG TAG... due to my camera phone and marketing team being at Iseries)

Retention ring hooked in.

and secured with clip.

Place the backplate on the back of the motherboard with the holes through the mounting holes on the board.


Screw the mounting post into the backplate.

Place the CPU block head over the mounting holes on the bracket. The inner holes are for this socket.

Screw down all 4 thumb screws one twist on each screw at a time until finger tight. Attach the pump!!

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any one have any questions about this guide please contact no one..... or moan for no reason!! ;)

Mines up and running but alas the watercooling wouldn't fit in my case. Ive had to by an artic cooler and sell the warecooling with my 3770k chip
 
I bought this bundle but didn't check if the cooler fits my case, a Define R4. No room at the top but I watched a Fractal rep video where she mounted at the front with a bracket. Where can I get this clip in bracket that replaces the fan one?
I was hoping this swap would be straightforward.
