AreWeThereYet wrote So who's coming to put it together???

Or send YouTube videos so I can watch!!??


But seriously .... does everything work together?

Is it overkill? I studied for days!

This cost me a fortune .... Can I cut corners anywhere ...or just stop worrying and be the coolest mom ev-va.


I was confused between SSD & HAD .... and partitioning HD ???

and Pentium 4560 vs i(whatever) !!??!!!

I ordered a static wristband thing but no other tools ... or thermal toothpaste ... OR, OR, OR

and do I have to have windows 10 in order for it to work? I'm assuming yes.


I should've just bought a ready-made.
Looks good to me you can use any windows version
but if you wanted Windows 10 id recommend getting like an 8 GB USB and Using roufus on it and You dont need a key for windows and can use the free trial thats basically the same without certain features and has a watermark in the corner.

Everything will work, it's not overkill. You can build pc's for thousands of dollars... I'm one of them people that do it

Imagine an SSD as a faster HDD [Hard Drive]. The PC will still work with an SSD but Windows will just feel a bit quicker with an SSD. But don't worry if you don't have one, which I noticed you dont. You can always add one in the future.

Yes, you'll have to obtain windows 10. You can either burn it onto a CD or a USB via [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

The I3 CPU you have will be just fine. Some people prefer to go the Pentium route but an I3 is fine.

The I3 CPU will have thermal paste already on the cooler that's included in the box.

If you've not already purchased, you can definitely save money in some places. As it sits, it's a pretty reasonable mid ranged system with plenty of upgrade potential.
