Ok like the topic suggests, my first PC build went well. Thank you to the people that helped my with my components. Newegg got them to my quickly and they worked no problem.

 

But now onto my only issue. I am using a dell keyboard from one of my old computers. it came with the computer so its a no name keyboard(just has dell written on it.). The issue is when playing my games when i hold a button for an extended period of time it acts like it would in word. Where it registers one push then a second later it keeps registering the push. This causes my game to shudder until i release and press the key again.

 

Ive looked around the dell site for a driver but no luck. Also im not sure if I need a keyboard driver. I would think you do but i cant seem to find one.

 

They only component i can think of that would effect this is the MOBO but i checked the only jumper that would effect the keyboard and it is set properly.

 

The mobo i have is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131289

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
