Hello Everyone
This is going to be my first computer build and just want some feedback on the parts I chose. I hope they are all compatible with each other. However there was a "compatibility note" at the bottom of the parts list saying:
"Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs." Is something to be concerned about?
My goal is to order all the parts from one place which I chose Newegg. I know some parts might be cheaper if I bought from other sites but I just wanted to keep it simple.
I also want to use the Newegg Special Financing which is 12 month interest free which I think is Awesome. It should help build some credit too haha. I was thinking about signing up for the Newegg Premier 30 Day Free Trial before I place the order. Has anybody signed up for this? Any good?
The build is something that I want to keep around $1000 and preferably a little under after rebates and other special savings. If there are any more Newegg promo codes that you're willing to share I would greatly appreciate it. I've been looking around for some more but haven't been lucky to come across any that are active.
Anyways here are the parts
