Hello, Did initial boot with Gigabyte Z97XX-SLI motherboard (shortcirciut). The GPU fans turned on, but the CPU fans didn't. The system went to the BIOS after telling me there was no boot drive (did external test) and I wanted to know if I did something wrong. Processor: i5-4690K RAM: 16GB...

Paranoid as it may seem, I have a load of concerns about a PC build that I'm doing. This is my first time, and I've googled so many things that my head is ready to explode! I've shown my build twice already via the forums to see if my build is okay or not, but I've come back and it's been fixed...

Hello! I'm a total noob when it comes to PC building, but I'm slowly learning more and more. I have a budget build that I've been working on recently and I'd really appreciate an opinion from someone who's been in this area of expertise longer than I have (hardly 1/2 of a year). I'd like my...
