Gaming Keyboard

idk. i like the one on my laptop a lot. like the way it feels. its easy to push, and i know like where all the keys are. i dont press some by accident.

The obvious reminder: Please watch videos about how to apply thermal paste, it's nothing special but most greens forget it their first build, and then when they power up the beast they fry their CPU. If you didn't buy it already, buy some thermal paste. No, peanut butter looks similar but won't do.

Any brand should be fine, since you are using the stock cooler anyway. I have a ridicolous amount of MX-2 (i think), that so far never let me down. It's rather old-ish though.

Video about applying thermal paste.

Also, let your system settle for a while before you even start thinking about overclocking. You should not really need it.

i know how to put thermal paste on lol. and anyways, it comes on the heatsink already. no need to put any on.

also not going to be OCing for a while. not at least until i need it.

no, i know, i meant the spacing between keys. i have small hands, so i use small keyboard.

i got a logitech k360

best pic i can find but i dont have that mouse.

need help finding a optical drive.

Newegg.com - ASUS Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E818AAT

that one will allow me to install games to my HDD rite?

Dude said:

Any dvd rom drive will allow you to install, if you are not looking for top burn speeds etc....yes that will work

ok kool. yea i dont really care for that. the ONLY reason im getting it is to install games lol

anyone know where i can get a Sata to Pata adapter for an optical drive? i need the data connector. NOT the power connector
