Made an overview of my build in progress

Computer Forum New Build / Upgrade Advice
1

I made a video with me talking in it(you’ll find that a video with me talking in it is RARE, so enjoy lol) about my new computer build. I may not sound like it in the video, but I am super excited about this! Here’s the link to the video:

I have already bought the motherboard, case, and already had one spare DVD/RW drive and 3 HDDs; one 1TB and two 80GB drives. I also had a friends’ laptop die on him, he gave it to me and I decided to take the 320GB hard drive out of it and try to mount it in my build, but it is too small to mount, I talk more about that in the video at the beginning.

Here is a list of everything I’m about to get, in order, on my website:

I hope you guys will have some advice and/or suggestions! Thanks for reading,

For the 2.5" HD you can use this converter Amazon.com: SilverStone SDP08 3.5" to 2.5" Bay Converter, Nickel-coated finish, SST-SDP08 : Everything Else

I’d be surprised if too many people watch that video, but you never know :slight_smile: plus people are lazy best to provide links etc upfront.

Thanks, Sniper! I found a similar converter to the one you listed for only $3.50, think I should go with that? I’m running pretty low on “money reserves”, lol.

Converter is a converter, I’ve used £0.99 ones in the past without issues :slight_smile:

Cool, just got it ordered then! :smiley:

Could anyone else help me with the rest of the parts?

Status update! I now only need 2 more major computer parts for my new build to boot: The cpu and the ram! I’m going with the Intel Quad-Core i5 and 2x4GB 1600 mHz PC3 RAM(the Kingston ram just keeps getting more and more expensive, and 8 gigs is plenty for now for what I need)! I’m so excited, I can hardly wait! :slight_smile:
