Thanks Iggy
Thanks ignatzatsonic that's ging to come in real handy - gonna print it off and use it as my little Bible when the time comes - because I wouldn't have had a clue.
I'll follow it to the letter as I said I would have just put it all togeher and switched on and watched - probably it self destruct lol!!
Now I have decided on the Coolermaster Centurion as it does have the big fans and therefore theoretically quieter due to the slower speed required.
My PSU after a fair bit of researching is going to be the Corsair HX 650 which most seem to like and there is plenty of output for what I shall need I reckon.
RAM is G.Skill Ripjaws F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH (2x2GB) DDR3 someone told me they were using 1600MHz cards on the Gigabyte H67 U3DH but I didn't want to take the chance of getting it altogether and then nothing happening
Now the drivers you mention from NEC and Intel again I had no idea this had to be done as it was not mentioned in Scott Mellers video and i ama ssuming I put these onto a USB stick then download to the build .
Well this has ben a real eye opener and I cannot thank you enough because I would have ended up having to sort a lot of things out to get it to start.
Tools mate don't worry I have 55years worth of tools laying around - I used to dabble in audio stuff - vacuum tubes, dedicated trannies and components etc just have not done much with IC's as such.
Anyway I'll let you know how it goes and if it doesn't blow up maybe a pic or two lol!!.
Oh and johnnywillyums look mate that's a nice piece of equipment but a fair bit out of my price range at the moment ($279) - perhaps next build if I don't electrocute myself doing this one eh?? I must say the features are something else especially the roll out motherboard feature and the left panel removal which I was after.
and the small window in the left side i take is for a small fan forthe bottom side of the CPU.
Anyway thanks to everyone for for taking the time to help me out.
