June 23, 201214 yr Hello. New user, been lurking the site for about 2 months. I have worked on computers, replaced components, but never built one from scratch. Please bear with me Great info on here. I have read the hardware compatibility page and picked a motherboard that is still current. Main use will be movie back-ups, and a ton of pictures.
