Hi all

I'm building my wife a PC but not going to be anything mega inside...

She likes to play games like Minecraft, Resident Evil and the Sims. So nothing to major.

I've got her:

1050ti SC 4GB
H110 Motherboard
1tb HDD

Will be purchasing G4560 on payday and some RAM

What sort of RAM Is ideal for this build?

The fastest ram the motherboard supports, remember kabylake cpu in a skylake based motherboard bios update may be required.

Yes but..

The problem your going to have is that you need a skylake cpu inserted in the motherboard so you can update the bios.

RAM was delivered today.. when I've inserted the RAM (tonight) is it ok to power on the PC just to make sure all is running... I don't currently have a Windows USB but will be ordering soon.. I don't want to do anything on PC I just want to make sure all is ok
