Hi , i have recently spent around $3000+ on parts to build a new pc for gaming and general stuff
Main parts i have are
AMD 64Bit 3.8 (939) - may goto fx55
Asus motherboard (heard its 1 of the best for 64bit)
Big 550 watt powerbox
1 but will be 2 next week geforce 6600GT cards (2nd may be a 6800GT , is it posible to link 6600 and 6800 gt cards and will they run ok being different models)
17 inch widescreen TFT monitor
Thats the main bits then there the hardrive which is the highest spec 300gig and the other parts to the pc
Any tips on fitting all this , the guy where i got most of the parts said connect the power supply first but dont turn it on , not sure if he ment before i put all the hardware in or after , would it be ok building all the system first then plugging it in ?
Any tips will be appreciated , Cheers guys (ive wanted to build a pc in ages so im really looking forward to building it , must wait a few days before a few more parts come but would like to put some in first for a head start)
