Hi All,
Attached are the specs for my new PC I will be attempting to build this weekend.
https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=11217946
I was coming to you guys for any tips + pointers you can give me starting from square one.
I have never ever ever ever built a PC before and I'm scared that I will miss a wire or two while connecting everything to my motherboard...
Some generals questions would be case specific, in my case the antec 1200.
Which direction should I face my heatsink, do I only apply arctic 5 on the actual chip portion on the MOBO and not the heat sink (some directions I had read on the arctic silver 5 site said only to put a grain of rice size on the mobo piece, and to put my heatsink on top of that and rotate it a lilttle)
Any general pointers would be much appreciated.
The last piece of the puzzle, my video card, will arrive on wed... so I will be eagerly checking this site for updates throughout the week.
Thanks in advance!
