Do I need all these components?

[impala123]

Hi everyone,

Basically, I'm customizing a pc on cyberpower but there are a few parts that I'm not too sure whether I need them for the pc to work? Here they are:

Intel Smart response technology
Internal USB/SATA Expansion module
Dongles
Data Hard drive
Wireless 802.11N network card
External wireless Network adaptor
Cables(or are they with case?)

With the network stuff, if I don't have them will I not be able to connect to internet?

Thanks,

1. Are you going to connect your computer to WiFi or are you using a DSL cable (Is it a laptop?)
2. personally I wouldn't pay for intel smart response
3. What are Dongles?

Yes wifi is definitely needed and no it is a desktop. And I have no idea what dongles are either! ahaa here's an example of one, dunno if this helps: DVI TO HDMI DONGLE

Wifi is the devils work on a gaming box

Okay then WiFi is a must.
Are you connecting your computer to a Monitor/Tv screen that has a HDMI port?
Cause a dongle is actually a converter, so you are using a DVI cable and convert it to fit a HDMI port

Okay so I assume the network card and network adaptor are a must if I want to connect to wifi? Well probably not so dongles are out of the way but what about data hard drive and internal expansion module?

Build your own.
It would be cheaper and you would learn a lot about the machine your manipulating to do your bidding.
What do you already have? Such as monitor, keyboard etc.

 

[Alain123]

Are you going to add maore then 1 harddrive later on?

And yes the network card and the network adaptor are a must for wifi.

Yes that was one possibility and I have a monitor, don't know name but its nothing special just a bog standard dell and I need new mouse and keyboard

 

[impala123]

No probably not, I'll just keep the 1TB hard drive

 

[Alain123]

Then that also needs to be unchecked.
Is that all?

Ok thanks, also do I need to buy more cables or will there be some included with case or motherboard? Lastly is there much difference between the AMD FX-4350 4.20 GHz quad-core and the intel core i5-3570 quad-core 3.4 GHz?

 

[Alain123]

What kind of cables?
And the I5 beats the FX4350 here is a benchmark.

Thanks, uurm they're called like Cat5e network cable, and the rest I think are for like printers and AM TO AM, HDMI TO HDMI mini, I assume these are probably a no.

 

[Alain123]

No so far I know not.
I hope this solved all your problems.
