I've only ever built PC's with ASUS mobo's and their manuals basically cover everything you need to know about it.
In my experience building a PC is easier than following Lego instructions. Also when you are installing RAM, don't be afraid to push harder than you think because the first 2 times I installed RAM I didn't seat the RAM properly. |
Ahhh yes, its been a while but I remember when I first upgraded the ram in my old PC i thought I broke it cuz it seated so hard. It really didnt wanna go in, but didn't look right sticking out so I gave her a good push and it kinda went "crunch" and then looked like it was in place. I was sure I had buggered it until it actually booted.
How bout cooling fans? That case has an intake and an exhaust fan, I think they're both 12cm. That should be good enough unless I start overclocking or add more Hard disks or video cards right?

I've had real hit or miss with most cases, but I will blame myself for originally thinking $80-120 for a case with no/PSU was ridiculous. Ever since getting past that stupid oversight I've never had cooling issues in a good case. If you really start overclocking, you will find initially better results in RAM heatspreaders and aftermarket heatsinks. If you are still having cooling issues the case fans could add a little more cooling.

Good to know, sounds like I shouldn't have an issue. I'm gettin pretty excited to actually be able to build this thing, it should be pretty fast. You guys were totally right about building your own, I like knowing that my PC will be made of quality stuff, and you get more for your $ as well.

You'll also find that the warranties offered are better than a pre-built.
