Ok so I have worked pretty hard to find out what parts I should get and stuff and I have come up with 2!! An AMD and an Intel Build. What I really need to know is will all these parts work, out of the box, without needing to mess around with bios or whatever? And would I need any additional fans the current case i have chosen already comes with 2? For internet I will just be using a ethernet cable straight into my PC, is that ok? Sorry for all the questions it is my first build and I would like to make sure I am doing everything ok. Also if there is anything else I may need or should consider changing or adjusting please let me know! I won't be needing an OS or a DVD drive. With the ram I know it is only 4GB so what i would like to know is should I spend the extra $45 and upgrade my ram to a 8GB? And would you recommend upgrading the PSU to a more reliable brand? Other than that I think I did ok, what build is better? My absolute maximum budget is $625 I can't go over that whatsoever. And please do let me know if I posted this in the wrong spot or something it is my first post!
