Intel or AMD?

Ok. Seriously kudos to everyone on here for the help.


Plodd you saved me money and time! Will do windows 10 now. I'm sure the big bugs are disappeared.

If you're worried about privacy or the NSA finding your strange pron there are options to remove that don't really present themselves.

Don?t ?Use Express settings?

[Cassius]

You will if you plan to play any DX12 games.

And I'm pretty sure there is some performance improvement in games from Win 7 to Win 10.

They are holding back on DX again like they did to get people unto windows 7? Thats messed up!!

No it isn't. DX10 was the great savior that really began moving systems off the POS known as XP.

Question... is it safe to install windows os with usb?


My new case doesn't have a DVD drive. (Don't need one)

[DesmoLocke]

Yes. My last three builds have not had a DVD drive.

@desmo
Thanks. My friend was telling me it's risky as hell. Cause it might not work.


I am preventing my self from spending like 50 on a usb disk drive just to install an OS.

But what about my bios updates on mobo? Can those be installed without disk drive?

Soo easy. Get Win 10 USB and done.

Alrighty! Seriously I'll have to kiss y'all virtually for the help.

Anyone ever have issues with amazon shipping? I did a "combo" packaging with my Case and RAM. I got only the case and ordered the 2 things December 5th. Estimated date: 12/8-12/10. The status is the same thing. "Shipping now" since the 6th.

I ordered a SSD today... Will it actually improve my fps on games like arma 3 and squad?

Nope, but it'll make you love using computers all over again

[matty1053]

Nope, but it'll make you love using computers all over again

I always loved using computers though!

Well, hopefully it's worth the $85....

[PLODDITHANLEY]

Just for switch on/start up it's worth it.

To anyone that could help,

How do I install my Samsung 250gb EVO SSD? I am not going to transfer anything to it, I just want to use it as a "fresh" SSD. I'm putting OS and probably Squad on it. My case does NOT have a DVD drive, nor do I really want to use one. Do I just plug the SSD in and go? or do I need to buy a USB DVD Reader and install like that.


And, will it be ok to install the OS and everything, and set up the PC if I don't have my GPU in it? I'm just going to set it all up, not play anything.. The processor has a GPU already (intel 4000 hd or something). I'm going to get a 960ti (it will be here after christmas.... gahh). So, I'm just curious. Would it hurt if I put my GPU in AFTER setting everything up? or should I just wait?

[PLODDITHANLEY]

I plugged mine into SATA3 on the mobo, just plug it in to any of the faster SATA plugs available, you may have to go into bios to set a Boot order.

I don't see any problem with using the iGPU now and adding a card later.

[matty1053]

Well, I am officially part of the PCMasterRace I guess! Build's finished (as it seems), I get great FPS on High @900p on Arma 2: OA! (For some reason it seems the game locked the FPS at 75).

Case was a pain in the butt to get everything inside and fit. But, hell hard work hopefully will pay off!

Thanks for the help everyone, and hope to see ya'll on the battlefield!
