Computer Build

[Quadrider10]

Go directly to nvidia.com to get the latest video drivers for the 650.

done and done. anything else i have to worry about installing?

You can just run windows update and see what happens. Good job, alot of people don`t get the drivers before hand.

figured id better do that before my laptop crashes now and then it takes 30mins to download 10mb on my moms computer lol

I am way late on this, but why not a FX4350 for the extra $10?

Double the L3 Cache....

I would have went all the way to the FX8350 though for $80 more.

How's it doing?

He won`t have the parts til next week.

Next Thursday and Idk. I guess I didn't see it. I was looking into cores vs speed vs price. What dies CPU cache do anyway? I know more is better but what uses it?

The most important is the network/ethernet driver, but it should be on the cd that comes with the motherboard.

want latest up-to-date ones. also im not going to be connecting through Ethernet. sololy using the pci wifi adapter. but anyways i got that one lol

i think i got the mobo all done as far as drivers, but idk about the rest of the computer

i downloaded MSI's live update 5 which does all the latest updates for you including bios. so as far as the mobo goes, im good

Quad, Dont use live update for drivers or bios. Always download them from the motherboard website. If you need to update your bios let me know, I will PM a link for a tool to use.

feeling really confident about this build. i know how to connect everything and really confident on getting it built. the only thing im worried about is cable management since the case i got has NO management at all. guess im going to be using a LOT of zip-ties haha.

im really kicking my self on the CPU and RAM rite now too. i should have gotten the FX-4350 clocked at 4.2GHZ and 8mb cache for $10 more, and i was looking into Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4GB 1600mhz 9ms RAM for $70...... more kicking my self on the CPU..... owell just gonna have to deal with it anyways. ive read on google that the 4300 is clockable to 4.8GHZ Stable. so i see OC-ing in my future! lol

already shipped and in next state over. otherwise i would. also i still dont have the money lol

I would call newegg to see what your options were.

Maybe you could refuse delivery.

id rather just keep everything. if i refuse it, it will take like 4x as long to start building it. and my laptop which im currently using needs a clean install. so i need a computer.

OK then,
Enjoy the build and post some pic's

lol idk what i want! haha quite honestly i dident even want a computer. but the freaking lag caused by pci 1.1 x1 speeds drove me insane! i really should be saving my money for a truck and a quad to get back to racing! but owell. at least i will have something to do this summer besides work.... yay! lol

will do! and will do a lot!

which PCI slot is the best to put the GPU in? the one closes to the CPU or furthest? watching ncix, he said closest

Alright! Lol heat won't bother it too much?

 

[DocBrown]

Usually the 1st PCI-E next to the CPU is the best for the 1st GPU installed

Here is my FX-8350 Build

 

[Quadrider10]

Alright. Looks good. Thanks!
