Your board is savage looking.

No recommendation but most of the build guides on youtube are fine, it's not a complex set up anyways.

This is the video I watched when I built my PC last year. Easy enough.

so im wondering could you guys tell me which ones i need

In general, you'll need a usb stick to install windows from and that's all. Generic drivers are generally supported by windows nowadays so you won't need to worry about specific ones just to get the PC to work. Once windows is up and running, you can download whatever graphics/motherboard/audio/etc drivers you think you need from the internet, which is generally a better idea than from disk as the online versions are always the most up to date.

No.

You can activate at a later date. There will be a watermark in the bottom-right corner but apart from that works fine.

Yes it will install windows 10 and no you won't have to pay for it later.

EDIT: You may need to change boot priority in BIOS

No you don't just put the iso on the usb stick you have to create a bootable usb stick first.

Skerries · 14-01-2017 12:05am

you will have to make the USB key bootable first so use Rufus

actually I didn't realise until the other day that Win 10 will mount ISO's by default now instead of having to unpack

ah right...missed that post sorry

TerrorFirmer · 14-01-2017 12:38am

By far the easiest way is the Win10 media creation tool. So much more straight forward than Rufus. It does all the work for you, all you have to do is plug in a USB stick.

*Looks at parts*

I. Hate. You. So. Much!! :mad:

Look up your model on Youtube for a build run through, it's what I did and worked out very handy. And don't worry, I built my first one a few months ago and it's a hell of a lot less scary than it looks!
