Building a computer for a first time need help

[dhw200]

Games will never require SLI. SLI is a technology that enables 2 vid cards to run together, boosting the performance. Games wont be made to run on SLI. the RAM quality is quite nice, but i think u should get a gig of that stuff. ull want it.

I ment to say wont most games be SLI compatable in the future. Sorry

I can't really answer the SLI question, this really depends if companies continue with this whole doubling up nonsense.

I really don't think you need to overclock that, you won't notice any lag whatsoever with those parts.

And as I've said, if you aren't overclocking, you don't need low latency RAM, it's a waste of money. Anyone wanna tell me why he should buy low latency RAM, apart from the fact that "the timings are lower so it must be better logic." I'm just telling you now there will be no difference between 4-4-4-8 and 2-2-2-5 timing RAM at stock speeds.

there isnt ATM, but in a few years when the comp is obsolete and u do wanna OC...just thinking for the future.

Forgot to ask this sorry....

What do i do for windows and bios? I dont know this is my first time.

 

[gaara]

What do you mean by what do you do?

 

[Bogadox]

A friend said i should ask about bios. Like how do i install it.

 

[gaara]

You don't, the BIOS is a chip built into the motherboard, it's always there. The computer wouldn't fuction without a BIOS.

Here my new comp after everything i fixed is it all compadable?

and will you be overclocking?

do you have a copy of windows?

also, get this card instead of that sound blaster 4

there's no point in getting a very expensive audio card imo (sure, i'm gonna get blasted by someone for saying this)
