Never saw the other comments, thanks guys. No overclocking and I dont think the mobo can anyway (could be wrong lol). As long as it can run Dying Light on playable settings, he'll be happy. Mark, you basically answer my question on the CX, and as long as it'll run for now that's good enough...

Thanks Zarugal, I had thought that myself about the PSU. Originally, the build was just for low-end games that would run fine on the Integrated graphics on the i5-4440, and some Minecraft and such, so I may have skimped on the PSU a little. The problem is he can't afford to buy both right now...

Hey guys, I'm planning on adding a graphics card to this build of a friends http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/WFZjK8 His price range is around £120 - £130, and originally I was going to get an R9 270x 2gb, but I noticed there is a R9 280 3gb for £132 and was going to get that instead. The extra...

Was hoping for a few more suggestions, but knowing tomshardware, the posts tend to dry up if people see a thread already has replies. So I'll leave it open for a bit and then i'll pick if no one else is forthcoming with ideas. And i'll be sure to tell him that if we choose to go down that...

Yeah like littlesackninja pointed out, it's in pounds not dollars so not as bad. As for needing a screen/keyboard ect. he already uses a USB keyboard on his laptop because he spilled wine over it and his built in one bit the dust, and he did have a monitor too, but he gave that to me for my...

Hey guys. So recently I built my very first computer which went well and I'm really enjoying using and now i'm trying convince my friend to do the same. His old Toshiba laptop is on the brink and and he was planning on buying a new one, but I've been trying to convince him to build a computer...

Ah well, that's what I thought. Tbh, after sitting with it for most of the day, I'm pretty damn tired, so the idea of waiting doesn't sound so bad anymore. Cheers anyway guys.

Probably a shot in the dark, but would there be anyway to somehow boot a new build without using a keyboard ? Finally finished putting together my first ever build, only to find out the keyboard I was planning to use doesn't work. I will be buying one tomorrow, but I'm impatient and after...

Yeah, I think I get it now. I have 4 x 6 pin slots on my PSU but due to the text which says "Peripheral - IDE/SATA" underneath them I sorta thought only one of those (the end one) was for Sata connectors. Now I realise any of these can be used for Sata connectors, or at least the last two can...

Hey all, I have a XFX Pro Series 650w semi-modular power supply and I need to run Sata power connectors to hook up to my Optical Drive, HDD and SSD. I'm a first time builder so i'm not sure what I might be missing, but it seems like I can only plug one Sata power cable into my PSU. The cable...

Turns out I was using the wrong screws lol, thanks man.

Turns out I was using the wrong screws lol. Thanks for the help, appreciate it.

Thanks, but that's basically just some dude talking about the case, he doesn't install anything :/

Yeah, they installed basically everything in that video but the HDD lol. The fact I cant seem to find any info seems to tell me it's just me that struggles so what the hell am I doing wrong.

Can someone tell me how the hell you install a HDD in a Zalman z11 plus case please ? I know it's probably something simple i'm missing but for the life of me I can't work it out. The manual is basically just like 3 pictures and i'm expected to work it out from that. Do i slide in to the HDD...
