Recommend a Western Digital Black instead of a Seagate.

[masterspy16]

thanks but do u think the build will work?

[ryuk999]

Are you going to overclock? If so your probably gonna want a ATX board not mATX

[masterspy16]

what is overclock?

[shadowpr]

Overclock refers to pushing the cpu beyond its specs, which could cause damage.

It's not recommended for first time builders.

[masterspy16]

thanks but i don't know if it will work if i put it togher. and if everything will fit in the the case or like the video card can work with the mother board or the cpu some thing like that

[glc]

It will all work, but you don't need 1066 speed ram. 800 speed is the best match, and no need to get expensive ram.

You picked a Blue, not a Black.

[masterspy16]

ok sorry i thought i pick blue and thanks for that info about ram

what about this one is it better and witch case should i use the one in this post or the one i first posted

[glc]

Only thing I'd quibble about is your brand choices on the DVD drive and the video card. I prefer LG, Lite-On, Asus, or Sony opticals, and Asus, Diamond, or HIS for ATI video cards. Cases are personal preference.

[masterspy16]

can u tell me a peronal like of your like u fav. video card and your fav. drive. try to keep as video card up $200 and drive up to $60 less is better but that is the max. and also they should be able to be used for games like cod6, bioshock, boarder lands, gta thanks again

more question

how do i instale windows 7?

and do i get the latest drivers for the mother board, video card, etc. before or after windows 7 or do i just use the disk that they give u?

[masterspy16]

and should i use 35 bit or 65 bit

[orbrit]

? do you mean 32 or 64?
I'd go for 64 bit - mainly for memory handling and max RAM.

To install, just stick the CD in - and choose boot to CD from the boot menu. Your BIOS may be set to boot to CD before the SATA drive but incase it's not, the BIOS should have an option for the boot menu.

Once you've booted to CD the Install will proceed.

Once you've installed Windows 7, you can then install the drivers for the Motherboard (which should include the sound, network and chipset drivers) and then install the add on video card drivers.

I typically start with the CD version (in case I don't have connectivity) then download the latest versions from the manufacturer websites and install those.

[glc]

Install Windows 7 by booting with the DVD. I doubt the DVD that the motherboard comes with has Windows 7 drivers, so you will need to download needed drivers from the Asus support site beforehand and put them on a USB flash drive.

[orbrit]

Here is the link for your motherboard.
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=c19zNYHCAXhCqBPq

Click on Downloads and choose the right OS.
You'll need:
Chipset
LAN
Audio

at a minimum.
You probably won't need the Intel Storage Matrix unless you're using AHCI instead of IDE for your SATA drives.
BIOS updates and other utilities as needed.

[masterspy16]

thank you so boot from the cd and once booted instal the drives and everything from a flash drive.

thanks

[glc]

Once Windows is fully installed, then you install the drivers.

[masterspy16]

and the video card u chose is it good enough to play wow and cod6 max out? and what about the v2 one?

[masterspy16]

also should i use Corsair ram or g.skill ram?
