In the next week or so, I'm going to be building my first computer. I was wondering about some steps following the actual physical completion of the build.
My board requires me to purchase a seperate video card and I'll be adding a CD/DVD burner, as well. Once I plug everything up (hard drive, video card, CD drive, etc.) will it be recognized by the board automatically? My main question is, will I be able to use my Windows installation CD to install the OS or will I need to load it on to the hard drive before dropping it into my new computer?
Like I said, it's my first build!
Thanks.
