Well i'll go take a look and see what it has and if it has the connectors you said

xTeekz · 12 Jun 2015 at 22:36

Ive also been told to get myself an SSD could you recommend a good 1?

xTeekz · 13 Jun 2015 at 16:16

Oh so i wouldnt need a new PSU? and just use the adapter instead? Also do the Radeon Graphics cards have a recording software? Like Nvidia has Shadowplay?

Ive got a question that id forgot to ask about the build ExRayTed Suggested.. Dont i need a sound board also or am i just being stupid ?

Also does OcUK offer any services where they build the pc instead of having the parts sent seperatly?
