Having a nightmare of a time on my first build and now I can't even install Windows 10. Tried everything and it either gets stuck at 73% installing and the screen freezes or it freezes at the MSI screen. Tried resetting bios to default, tried making a new USB windows 10 install, tried flashing...

Ok thanks for the reply, that makes sense. So I was wondering if I go with option 1 and install my old HDD with Windows 7 on it onto my new rig, will it boot up Win7 instead of booting from USB for Win10? I eventually just want to use the HDD as extra disk space, IDK if I would have to delete...

Hi guys, quick question about migrating Windows 10 between drives. I'm currently on Windows 7 Ultimate (not activated, unable to) in my old rig on an HDD. I just purchased a new PC with a 1TB SDD drive and no OS installed. So I was considering the following options: 1) For the new rig, making...

Cool, going to use that extra cash for more SSD space.

Nice, didn't know there was such a big Nice, didn't know there was such a big difference between them, 1070 seems to be still quite serviceable. Btw, do you recommend I buy the Seagate 2TB for the build? Since I already have a 1.5TB HDD in my old rig I can bring over, but its fairly old but...

Yea I'm fine with 1080p gaming for the time being, will probably upgrade GPU at a later time when prices go down. Going to be fun getting a new build its been a while. will probably go with build sugestions here except ditch the new HDD and use old one and get more SSD storage.

Thanks, its actually a 1070 but thats interesting that I could sell my old system and put that towards a new GPU. Will definitely consider.

Thanks a ton guys, its actually a 1070 so a tiny bit better. I'm going to look over everything and decide from there. I'm guessing I could spend my whole Disk space budget on an SSD since I already have a 1tb HDD in my old rig that I could bring over.

Hey thanks a ton, that really puts me in the right direction. I actually already have a 1tb HDD in my old rig that I will be bringing over, fairly old but serviceable, not sure if I would need a new one unless theres a big speed difference. I will probably try to spend a bit more on SSD space if...

Hi guys, trying to get a new build done with a budget of around $1000 CAD. Already have a 1060 that I'll be using for the rig. Will need everything else though, except mouse. kb and monitor. Also will need Windows 10, how does it work usually do you have to purchase it for a new rig or is it...
