So how do I actually 'set up' my new PC?

Dante2013 · Oct 18, 2013

I know where to place everything and stuff, just making it all work now. I'm only waiting on my cpu and motherboard to be delivered now and I can set this up. I got my graphics card today and corsair vengeance ram and decided to put it in my old computer which uses amd, just to see the difference but I got blue screen on start up which I'm guessing has something to do with my bios settings being completely different. And I'm selling this PC soon anyway so cant be bothered to uninstall all drivers etc.

So when my new computer comes how should I go about it? because the motherboard I bought it don't come with drivers disk.

By set up do you mean how to put it together? Or how to make sure you can use it once it`s built?

For the first, look for a tutorial with your motherboard to make it easier.
For the latter, the most important thing is to have the network driver at hand for your mobo (as I found out last night when I did my build).

Well, you willneed to install windows for the first time, and as I said, try to have the network driver when the indows install is done.
If you`ll use an SSD, make sure to set it to AHCI (I think, or ASCI) mode in BIOS, before installing windows, and after that you can use this link to optimise: http://www.thessdreview.com/ssd-guides/optimization-guides/the-ssd-optimization-guide-ultimate-windows-8-edition/

Once you install windows and the network driver, first thing would be to install the anti-virus of your choice (I use Avast atm as it`s free), and then the rest the software you want to have.
