hello all CF people
I am attemting to rebuild my first computer and it quite frankly scares the hell out of me. I am familiar with swapping componets, soldering, and i have taken a few laptops apart and fixed the charging ports. I just have a little $$$ wrapped up in this build and don't want to smoke any componets. I use the computer primarily for surfing the internet, and i do have the computer tied to my TV via an HDMI cable. I just want a fast stable computer that can DL files fast and watch videos on you tube without freezing all the time. I'm still waiting on a few more componets and probably won't start tearing it apart until this weekend. listed below are the componets i bought.
AMD phenom II X6 black edition processor clocked @ 3.3GHz
Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 Motherboard
Freezer pro 7 rev.2 processor fan
G.Skill DDR3-2000 RAM (4GBx2)
Viotech 850W modular power supply 20/24 pin
9 pin serial port card with 10 pin head cable
I am using my old seagate 500 gig SATA drive and my old LG DVD burner.
First off I'm hoping i bought compatible componets and that it is sufficent for what I'm trying to accomplish. I have JUST the operating system (windows 7 pro) on the HD right now, and I do plan on OC ing the processor to around 4 GHz.
I'm sure it's not going to be as easy as bolting all the parts together and violia i have a new computer. I'm not sure what other issues I'm going to encounter so I humbly ask for any advice on what to do next (Ie jumpers switches...etc)to make this little project go as smooth as possible. I did get a bios disk with the mobo.
Thanks in advance for any information.
