Wifey gave the "go ahead". Need to solidify build

I'm planing on running on integrated graphics until we can afford a nice graphics card. How is this build? It's exactly our budget we're looking at. Anything more expensive we couldn't really do (taking a new monitor into account). Since I'm still newbie, I'm wondering if I click "Check Out" that everything that gets shipped to me will be compatible and what I need (am I missing anything major?) You guys are all so crazy tech savy! I don't know as much as you lol.

I would really go with a different power supply, Corsair is always good

I know its a different site but rosewill are pretty much unknown in the UK

seems to be a good test of the unit, its your choice at the end of the day bud, Corsair, Seasonic all good but looks like you have picked a good'un in the rosewill too

 

[seumasbeathan]

Yeah but you have to remember - ocz psu's get pretty good reviews to but we all know there is a chance that after a month or so it will blow up :L

 

[AverageNinja]

Change the PSU. And try to aim for a MSI z77a-Gd45

The rosewill is a solid unit, nothing to worry about there.

 

[seumasbeathan]

Just looked at some reviews of this pus and they all say that the problem is that Rosewill psu's have a tendency of being DOA, Just stick to corsair mate

 

[OcSurfer]

Rosewill, like any company at the beginning, will have a learning curve, they will make a good few average units, look back at what broke and slowly start to right the wrongs, they have been getting better and the unit that KanthonyJR has chosen looks to be one of the better ones

Can I run off integrated graphics with this build or do i need a motherboard w/ onboard video?

 

[Raawmeat]

It is totally depending on what you are supposed to do with your pc, just using it on internet or ordinary programs sure you can but it wont play the new games if it's what you are looking for

Wifey gave the "go ahead".

.. oh dear ..

You got a 3570K but a G43, which doesn't allow a lot of overclocking. Get atleast a G45. Also, I have that case... Not worth it. 0 cable management options, cheap build quality, and there's no room behind the motherboard for cables. I'd think about getting a more expensive case, you won't regret it. (After buying that same case for my first build I looked at it, realized you need a good case for a good build, then bought a 650D.)

.. oh dear ..

That made me lol

 

[Kanthonyjr]

That made me lol

hehe...(I'm aiming for happiness in the home lol)

Ok, So I went ahead and got everything, assembled it for a test boot, put it all in the case, turned it on and!...no image

I've got a Zotac gtx560 ti AMP!

I got some text during the test, but nothing now! What happened between then and now?

 

[PapaSmurf6768]

Did you put the side panel on before you booted it for the first time? Because then it won't work.

Try using just the iGPU and see if it works, and if so you can narrow it down to a motherboard or graphics card problem.

I have a way newbie question...

how do i do that? Should I just plug the hdmi into the motherboard? Do I need to take out the gpu?

 

[Kanthonyjr]

Wait! YAY!
So I justreplugged in all of the cable and it totally worked

(If I could little girl scream right now i would....)

 

[PapaSmurf6768]

Glad you got it all sorted out dude, enjoy the build! Oh and pics please!

 

[Kanthonyjr]

Hazaaa!

I bought this case knowing full well that many of the complaints in the reviews involved space for cables. I did the best I could (zip tied and hid most of the front panel cables. I spent a little time layering the cables so they would look decent and this is the best I could come up with.

Wish I could do something about that supplemental supply, but that's the only route it'll take on with it's length. Next build I'll go modular and get a larger case.
But the fact that it turns on makes me happy no matter what it looks like!

Thanks for everyone's help! I'm sure I'll be in the software forums starting tomorrow!
