As I've mentioned before, I'm building a new PC. The process has been sped up due to the fact my own computer is broke. sadly this means compromise - ive ditched the new case and power supply and ill use my current ones in the meantime - thoroughly stripped and cleaned first. SSD has been dropped, as has a good cooling fan - ill use the stock one for now. processor & 1tb hard drive have arrived, expecting 8gb memory, motherboard & graphics card to arrive later this week.

Motherboard and ram appeared yesterday. Shows how much of a noob I am, I stopped putting it together when I looked at the torx screw at the cpu slot and thought I needed those screwdrivers. At midnight before bed, I realised that it was just to hold the socket clip in place. So threw it together and it's now operating well. Just waiting on the graphics card arriving and i'm golden. I'll post before and after pics, mostly so you can see the dangers of smoking next to a PC and what state it leaves stuff in! Old motherboard has a fine layer of tar... Specs are... ASRock H61M-DGS MotherboardIntel i5-3470 processor Patriot - DDR3 - 8 GB (2 x 4GB)1TB Seagate Barracuda HDDTo come, hopefully tomorrow: Asus GT 630 2GB Graphics card
