Hi people

 

I am building a PC and i have got most of the parts but i was wondering what components you would need for a first boot up so that i can get into the BIOS. I have got a AMD A10 7850K Black Edition but i haven't got hold of some RAM yet. Could some help me in what i need to start up and get into the BIOS. I want to know if my APU's temps are stable.

The others missed out GP. You need some sort of graphics processor for start-up so you can actually see something on a display. You don't need one to start up but without one you're not going to see anything.  Obviously this isn't a problem for you as you're using an APU.
