So i am planning on building my first computer in the near future and this is what i have come up with here.
It says "Some Intel Z68 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Ivy Bridge CPUs." but from what i have read it should work and if it doesn't to download a firmware off Intel's site.
They didn't have my video card on the site but i have a nvidia gforce 560ti that takes 190W, but requires a minimum of 500W. I've read that you only need a CPU cooler if you are planning on overclocking which i am not at this point or if the CPU doesn't come with a fan. Also could i just take my DVD drive and my 1tb HD from this computer and put it in a new one?
I am very new with the tech of the inside of a computer so i expect mistakes to be made, but if you have any suggestions to better brands or pieces that would be fantastic. And feedback is more than welcome.
