They didn't charge me tax! $590 spent on the CPU, MB, GPU, and PSU. I still have to order the RAM.

Waterfox Favourite Manga Soul Eater	It's not a big deal at all, just something I noticed; usually the OEM heatsinks have it pre-applied. But yeah, Walmart's a pretty decent bet. I know Best Buy carries it too. Won't cost more than a few bucks. All you have to do is dab a dot of it in the middle of CPU die before putting the cooler on.

Waterfox Favourite Manga Soul Eater	The link you sent me shows that it costs about twice as much for the same capacity. It might be slightly faster, but I'd stick with the 2400 kit.

No broken parts or anything like that.

The remainder of the parts should be arriving within the next couple of hours. One package is through DHL and the other through UPS. I'll take pictures when the remainder of the items arrive and whatnot. Until then, I'm backing up my SSD now. What else do I need to do to get everything configured? IIRC, BIOS and whatnot gets set up automatically.

Waterfox Favourite Manga Soul Eater	I don't think there's anything you need to do right now. I'd just put the new CPU and board in, see what happens. Windows may prompt you to do a repair, you may have to reinstall Windows entirely, if you're really lucky, you might not have to do anything, just make sure your data and product keys are safe as a precaution, as you may have to format the drive you're reinstalling Windows on. It looks like you're already doing that, so that's great.

I'll upload pictures in a little bit. I'm going to start to take the tower apart shortly and dust it out.

Google Chrome Favourite Manga DragonBall [Z, S], Legend of Zelda	So... I think the PSU just took a s*..... It died mid BIOS set up and now I can't get the computer to turn back on... -Nevermind. Not sure what happened, but it was a fluke. I'm going to have to wipe the SSD and reinstall windows. -I can't get the damn thing to boot from the DVD drive. I have all the settings to boot from it, yet it gets overlooked every time. What do I do now? System restore from the BIOS doesn't work as a way to reinstall. How do I get the DVD drive to load up?
