gaming pc build

Yeah dont worry about bending pins too much (Unless it's your CPU then you should start crying) I have bent the pins on the USB 3.0 header to. Just bend them back and all is good. If it doesn't click on all the way. but its still in fully you should be grand. really no way to tell until you can post it.

will try, though i was practically sitting on it and nothing was happening. Right just checking everything now. God, 8 pages lol, damn i know how to spam. Worst part is no post count :D

 
right, got the ram and turned on but the guy who was giving me windows 8.1 doesn't work, so deciding to use ubuntu until windows 10 comes out....

Oh well, ubuntu looks nice

 
Eh? so you mean you didn't get a copy as expected, or you haven't managed to install it?

no, sadly the copy didn't work, and I have to wait 5 hours if I want the other one :(

 
Shame, be better off with windows 7 anyways! I think pretty much every windows 8 pc i've dealt with i ended up putting a start-menu back on it and disabling the metro crepe

i wouldn't touch 10 until it's been out good 6 months.

 
Ubunto is great, till you want to do anything with it and realise the horror of the command lines. I brought the wrong OS when I built mine and had Ubunto installed as a temporary measure. Installing the OS was easy but past that I did not even bother trying to install anything and just used it as a browser. Get a copy of windows ASAP unless you really want to learn how to use Linux.

yep, downloading it all now, btw how is it for gaming?

 
Ubuntu specifically or Linux in general?

Doesn't matter NODOBY writes games for Linux. Seriously.
yeah, I see you need double the amount of things to run with. I think i will get ready with the linux and then add windows on :P

WWhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????

Unless you're considering a career in developing pissy little apps to run on a Raspberry Pi that you can use to impress both the other people on Facebook that give a crap Linux is POINTLESS. Save yourself the grief of trying to dual boot your machine and just BUY A COPY OF WINDOWS!

 
I have windows downloading, but 10 hours waiting time to download due to internet.... :(

 
Right so, I have decided to just wait for windows to download, and then install it
