Hi all,
Got some new parts coming today, will be my first build.
coming are... i7 860, asus P7P55D, 4GB CORSAIR XMS3, 1TB Samsung F3
I will be using some stuff from my existing pc... corsair VX450, 8800GT, dvd drive, case and possibly a WD caviar 320GB 7200rpm thats nearly a couple of years old.
I'll be using windows 7 RC until the student version is released.
So... a few questions...
1)What would you guys recommend I do with regards to hard drives/installing os?
use WD 320GB as boot drive and F3 as storage?
use F3 as boot drive and storage? (partitioned)
2) whats the best way to format a hard drive if I do use it? never done this before!
3) any way of getting all my programs to the new PC without having to reinstall them? same goes for steam games etc...
I have an external drive should i need to use it for anything...
Cheers,
Stu
