Hello, me again (last time i swear). My video cards (2x MSI GTX 970s) just came in. I was told the motherboard (MSI z97s sli krait) or the cards would come with an sli bridge but it does not appear to be the case. Ive been told i may not need them and that my mb would do bridgeless sli. Dont know if i believe this because ive recieved a lot of conflicting info on the subject. Is this true or do i need to buy a bridge?

Everything is in the case, can't find a jumper for bios on the motherboard (Z97S SLI krait edition). Components are i5-4690k processor, 750w evga supernova, crucial mx100 ssd and a gskill ripjaws 8gb ram stick, no video cards yet (still in transit). Took it to my neighbors house (grounded) and still no dice.

I just assembled my first PC and I can't get it to start. When I try and turn it on the fans start and lights start but then there is a click (breaker in the power supply?) and it goes back off. I can't find anything hooked up wrong. Had a friend look who knows what he's doing and he said the same. Our best guess is its because my apartment isn't grounded. Could this be it, if not anything else I should check?

USD and the whole 1500 can go into the tower.

I've wanted to build a PC for a while and finally have the money to do it this year. I have a budget of $1500 and figured Ide stretch it a lil by buying as much as possible on cyber Monday. I'm thinking a quad core gaming rig but am admittedly intimidated by parts choices, comparability and balancing. Any help or parts suggestions would be much appreciated.
