Upgrading My PC* | EDIT: Building PC - Help with parts.

[Aaron]

I haven't dropped anything on my parts yet and its still on the table, this is a pretty old picture since I got a new motherboard and PSU now but I just can't be bothered putting in the case atm.

And... how can you not know what you've bought

I must say,that is some ghetto shit right there man,but also a nice idea to keep it much cooler

Awhile back,someone mentioned making a topic just about computers.Maybe we could get a official "computer topic" put together here,For people that need help to,just talking about different components on the market

[Hitman]

I wouldnt say its much cooler there. Because if all components are open "air", there cant be the cool airflow by CPU/Case/Videocard-Coolers and Fans. So i think it just has about the same temperature like in the case.

This may seem stupid but,

How when you've got the computer parts all together actually turn it on, lol.
I meen, there isn't the button on the front of the case to press?

ROFL

There's a few different ways,but i prefer just putting a jumper pin on the motherboard to start You might as well try to get a case,or use your current case..It would suck ass if you or someone were to spill something on the hardware!

Yeah,depending on room temperature to though..Since i just built my new rig,my room temp is 80-90+F from the airflow within my case.Now planning to get a I7 rig put together to see whats good with the new i7's

I'm back

I'm sorry for like stopping this, but I've gotten some money and now I'm seriously looking for one build.

Firstly, I've got 2 x 2gb RAM.

It sais: 2GB. 2Rx8. PC2. 6400U. 666. 13. E1. 800.
I only wrote that because I want to see if it is compatible with this rig im going to show you.

And I got a Intel Core TM2 / Duo SlapB Costa Rica 2.66GHz / 3M / 1066 / 063848A477
That's what it sais on the CPU

Now, I've been thinking about getting this rig.

GFX Card ($197.00): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=33359
Mobo ($107.00): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=37779
PSU ($119.90): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod..._id=30877B
Hard Drive ($71.00): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=37086
Case ($53.90): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=37884

Total : $548.80

Now, that is without the DVD Drive.
I don't know what to do, like what cabels you need to make sure the DVD drive works, their is one cable that comes out of the PSU, right? And another that looks like this >http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=73&products_id=345 <

I have one of them, but would I need another? Like anything else to connect anything else together?

That's what I need to know from now, I'll ask more later.

[FarePak]

No need to buy the cables some come with the motherboard and they should come with the DVD Drive/HDD ect anyway.

Edit: All the parts look ok to me

[[W]TR1pin]

Now, is heatsink or w/e that goo on the processor. Because I got this CPU out of another PC so I took of the goo thing, lol.

Would I need to buy it again?

[FarePak]

That was the thermal paste, you're gonna need to buy some thermal paste for when you put the heatsink + cpu back on the motherboard when you get it.

Edit: Also when you put the thermal paste on the CPU, only put a little splodge in the middle then put the heatsink back on and it will spread out on its own, but don't put too much on otherwise the thermal paste will squirt out the sides of the CPU.

[[W]TR1pin]

Well, I'll buy that, but what does it actually do? Then what's the heatsink.
