Yes I am using windows 10. I am sure my optical drive is connected to my SATA ports. The DVD is new.

I just built a new computer and i am using my optical drive to set up my computer with my printer but my optical drive cant read the dvd.

The only reason i got a Z97 motherboard because it was $10 more than a mATX h97 and I did not want a mATX board.

I was wondering if this is a good build for my gaming pc.

How many sata cables come with this motherboard and is it a good motherboard? I couldn't find much about the motherboard.

Umm doesnt a computer need a hard drive so you can put your OS on it?

Can someone help me with a $500 gaming rig? He need windows but He doesn't need a Monitor or Mouse or Keyboard. The only game my friend would like to play is League.

Would a i5 4590 with a 370/270x be better than a FX6300 with a 380?

What about a 6300 and a 380?

Will the FX 6300 bottleneck the R9 390? If so is it a huge bottleneck?

So I can take out my SSD out of my build to replace my 380 with a 390 or I could keep my SSD and just buy a 380. Which one should I pick? The SSD is a PNY CS1211 240GB. T

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8qRLmG So this is my build I was wondering if I should change something to put in a 380 with 4gb of ram then 2gbs of ram because the 4gb of ram increases my cost. Will there be a difference between the 4gbs of ram than the 2gbs of ram? I also won't be buying windows off of reddit nor G2A so dont put buy windows off of something else.

Should I buy http://www.microcenter.com/product/429556/Radeon_R9_270X_Overclocked_Gaming_4GB_PCI-E_30_Video_Card?ob=1 or http://www.microcenter.com/product/450881/Radeon_R9_380_Overclocked_2GB_GDDR5_PCI-e_Video_Card for my new gaming pc. I dont have enough moeny to go up to a 380 4gb so I was wondering whicn one would be better.
