Hey there, this is my first build so im still a bit noobish, but i figure if i'm gonna get a desktop i may as well shell out a bit and learn in the process. Ive done loads of research but some stuff still confuses me so i just have a couple of questions....
1) Is everything compatible?
Apart from an extra fan and another graphics card in the distant(ish) future, this is pretty much how its gonna be
and
2) Can it be overclocked?
Theres something on the msi website about not being to OC with 1600 ram on this mobo, so.... I dunno.
Thankyouuuuuuuu
