Yeah, but I meant If the BIOS Isnt right :P

If the bios isn't right it'll probably just have problems posting. Chance of that though are very slim... Just remember to not build on carpets :P

So this post Is kind of a repost but my old post didnt get alot of attention and the guy who was helping me randomly stopped :P So I need some PC parts. Ive got a CPU (4460) and a GPU (MSI Geforce GTX 970 OC (not the gaming version Its the refrence 970 from MSI). I need:

 

Case: Preferably with a window, PSU, MOBO & Ram (8GB) WOULD BE A NICE BONUS IF I DIDNT NEED A BIOS UPDATE ON THE MOBO

 

Budget 400$

 

The other guy who was helping me suggested the ASRock Fatal1ty H97 & an EVGA SuperNOVA G2 550W, but I couldnt find any of these that were acutally In stock. If the case lights up or something that would be a bonus but not a necessity, I can just add a ligthstrip later :)

 

(IF ANY MODS SEE THIS FEEL FREE TO DELETE MY PREVIOUS POST)

What country are you in? I guess I should've asked in the previous thread... my bad.

EDIT- Ive been able to find:

 

Case: NZXT S340

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750

I know the PSU Isnt the same but Is this one also compatible and good?

No luck on the MOBO.

I can't fit a case in that budget though... maybe if you went 8GB RAM only? Like https://www.komplett.no/product/812857/datautstyr/minnebrikker/hyperx-fury-ddr3-1866mhz-8gb-red and then you should be able to fit that in well. (Btw I'm half Norwegian :D but I can't speak/read norwegian... yet)

 

EDIT: With 8GB budget over by 100~ NOK, is that too much?

Also, shouldnt the PSU be 80+ Gold atleast? I found one here:

You can go with an 80+ Gold PSU if you want but all it means is less heat and wattage pulled from the wall. Also, for your system 550W is just fine :P

Arent 80+ Gold PSU's more efficient? Also are all these parts compatible? And which ram should I get?

Oh sorry about not answering the other questions... Yes they are more efficient but in the end they still deliver the amount of wattage specified to your components. The parts you listed are compatible, yes. RAM? The ones that look the best to you whilst being DDR3 (It doesn't matter about the clock speeds but above 1333 is good :P)

Also, will I need a BIOS update on my MOBO or anything?

All of those will work together just fine and you most probably likely will not need a BIOS update c:
