2 Years ago I had a 1TB HDD, I upgraded to two NEW 1TB HDD's in Raid 0, copied OS using some partition manager tool, made a mess of partitions didn't know what I was doing, but it worked so I lived with it. Fastforward 2 years today. All the components for my NEW PC are coming from NCIX...

you can try magnifying glass and a pin prick to bend it inplace but there is over 1000 pins looking at them gives a headache, you can also try using a mechanical pencil with NO lead in it and get the pin in the hole and bend it that way, but if you want to use the motherboard I would send it off...

Upgrading a motherboard isnt worth it just for just a ram upgrade, Specially if you already have 16GB. Unless you want to SLI/Crossfire I wouldn't bother

I assume you have iolo anti virus and its asking if you want to download the mechanic thing to clear caches defrag disks ect. its up to you. But Im assuming its being pushy and whenever software does it,,, just no

Yes,that is fine is the Old HDD Sata? Because if its 7 years old there is a chance it could be PATA and then you would need an adapter

I would say the HD 3450 by just a hair

1. Look at the mounting, If it uses standard mouting than maybe, But keep in mind the power button connectors are almost always not standard and the IO sheild could be welded in. 2. Yes if your buying a GPU 300w of a crappy OEM PSU will not cut it 3. All those parts (mobo,cpu,ram) are compatable...

That computer is older so you will be limited to Sata REV II speeds cutting the SSD's speed in half almost, but still would be a noticibal boost in speed if it still only has the 2GB of ram I would upgrade that to 4gb probably the maximum

You dont have to use the same RAM but its reccomended

Would you mind recording the noise?

That cooler is extremely low end. What thermal paste did you use

Depends on the CPU, Normally the motherboard's bios will underclock the ram to 1333mhz if the processor doesnt support. Please consider memory clock speed has no impact on gaming performance if a dedicated graphics are used
