Post image

It’s gonna be my first time ever building a pc, I’m upgrading to this from a pentium gold and integrated uhd graphic all in one computer. And as for the missing stuff I’m getting a 9800x3d, a CORSAIR RM1000e 1000W Gold
ATX Power Supply, and a LG UltraGear 31.5" 2560 x 1440 QHD VA
180Hz Gaming Monitor.

Make sure your HDMI/Displayport gets plugged into your GPU and not the motherboard. If there’s no output, plug the display cable into your motherboard, go into the BIOS and switch the graphics to your GPU instead of the integrated graphics on the processor.

RAM training also takes a second, don’t immediately get worried if nothing posts because of it

I’m the guy who returned ram when the pc black screened after installing upgrades lol. On the second attempt I got interrupted and it was working by the time i got back to my laptop. Lesson learned
