Hey peepz,
As mentioned in the title, like many others here - I'm a first time builder and looking for tips & any bit of advice I can get for setting up my pc.
I'm going to list my choice of components, sadly it's too late to change anything, but any important/relevant information as to my choices will be taken into account!
Partlist :
-CPU : Ryzen 1600
(Using stock cooler, upgrade later)
- Mobo : Asus Prime B350 plus
- RAM : Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 2 x 4 Go 2666 MHz CAS 16 SR
- SSD/bootdrive : Samsung 960 evo NVME m.2
- GPU : EVGA SSC gtx 1060 6b
- Power sup. : EVGA white 600w
- HDD : Barracuda 1to
- Case : Fractal focus G
First of all, i'll kick off with asking if there's anything worth notice during the build with theese components?
I've heard it's important to update the BIOS, this Mobo has native Nvme/m.2 compatibility, will it still need the update in order to install windows to the ssd? USB uefi is ready. How important is the BIOS update?
Staying on the NVME (I know it's overkill for this rig) - Are there any 'expected' issues to know about? -I have been reading up on afew issues an reading through some guides in order to do the first install, and it kind of has me worried.
During the proces of installing windows, I've heard left and right that there is a 'fastboot' or something in that order ( Going into f11 instead of the regular f2), could someone clarify this? I haven't been able to find any relative information to my case.
What are your thoughts on 'Safe' value OC'ing - I haven't OC'd before, i'm just looking for some free performance, nothing that'll put my components at risk.
Feel free to add any advice, answer unasked questions and so on.
Looking forward to building this baby!
