Well this was a learning experience if I say so myself.

Didn't help that I had shyt going on yesterday when I did my build. Was going well til I hit the snag with installing the mobo into the case while I was at work. Wanted to finish before the hoop session with the fellas, but didn't make it. Then one of my college boy from Cali was in town, so I went downtown to kick it with him and some other friends last night.

Got home at like 2 and hooked everything up and didn't get to the BIOS screen. Didn't get to bed til 5 something. Woke up and realized that I didn't try using the HDMI through the video card the last time I tried. I rewired some of the connections in to the power supply, plugged it in through the video card via HDMI, and finally got something on the screen.

Then the damn CPU fan wasn't spinning

:aicmon:

Did a quick google search and found out it was because I didn't unravel the wiring on the CPU fan

:snoop:

So now I'm ready to go finally. One question about installing an OS... I have a Windows 8 key that's legit. I also grabbed a Windows 7 ISO and I plan on booting it up from my flash drive... I then plan on activating the upgrade to Windows 8 right after I do that. Will I run into any issues doing it that way?

I'm not worried about losing settings because this is a fresh install and I figure (or hope) that doing the upgrade to 8 will just be a smooth transition.

Downloaded Far Cry 3, these pirating groups got their own installers now without any need for a crack :laugh:

yep, a lot of the 'repacks' are like that

the crack is still there, they just install it all for you

I'm about to check that link out.

But the key that I have is for Windows 8 Pro.
