Hello guys yesterday I bought my new pc parts.
And I am a begineer so dont know much about pc assembling.
My components are as follows.
Intel core i3-4130
Gigabyte ga-b85m-d3h
Seagate barracuda 64mb cache 7200 rpm 1tb
Corsair vengeance 4gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
Corsair vs550
Cooler master n200 advanced

Parts from old build I am using lg optical drive.
2.5inch sseagate barracuda 250gb HDD

I am,going to install windows8.1 embedded industry pro 64bit
My concern is can I install 2hdd basically I wanna use my old hdd as c drive and new hdd as basic drive for storing stuff.
And psu mounting is downside and it have filter
So I should install psu in such way that psu fan should be up or down.
I came across many threads and videos on internet in which some suggest up and some suggest down so can anyone help me on this.

I personally like the Linus Tech Tips video's since they contain so much information and are well explained.

In this video he explains everything on how to build it and why he did it the way he did.

- Ofcourse you can ran 2 HDD's just with the installation of windows you need to check it installs to the right drive. Check if you plugged it into the first SATA port (RTM). Might also be an option to first just plugin 1 drive, install windows and then plug in the 2nd HDD.
- PSU should only be mounted with fan upwards when your case has heat problems. This will make your PSU hotter but cools your case. If you want to make sure your PSU doesn't take a hit from the heat just mount it with the fan...

Okay bro.
btw case came with one rear and one front 120mm fan should I install 1 or 2 more fans so that there is proper air circulation.
as front and top each have space for 1 each 120mm fan.

Yest I saw linus tech tips video only he told to mount psu fan upwards.
there were other videos also in which they told to mount psu fan downwards if we have filter at bottom so I was confused.
I will mount psu fan downwards and install one top fan so that I dont have any heat problems

Well it's just basicly this. But you made a good choice. You don't need the PSU as a exhaust if your Case allready has good ventilation. :)
