Windows installed and activated with no problems, thank god! xD 

Were you afraid it wouldn't work for some reason?

(That's good it worked.)

 

What graphics card are you using again?  When is it coming?  Where did you get it from?

An R7 260X, performs similarly or better than a 750Ti, I got it from ebay and it should be here later today or tomorrow.

 

I used an OEM code from an old desktop so I didn't know if it would work.

Cool.  Is that good enough for what your brother needs?

 

What version of Windows are you using?

Did you have to do anything special to activate it?  Or just used the activation link in the system info?

The LEDs are, most of the cases that are physically blue are off brand.

$100-$200 isn't what I'd consider value.

 

in USD at least.

Some PNY DDR3 1866 memory, it was on sale for $35 at Microcenter.

 

His motherboard can't take advantage of the 1866 speeds though only 1600 :P

Is that going to work to mismatch RAM?  

(I assume what's in it already isn't the same model.)

 

Does higher RAM speed matter much?  I've heard conflicting opinions.  ?

 

 

 

Sorry little off topic but: What about the wifi card?

I'm not mismatching, I'm taking my ram back and putting the new ones in.

 

The WiFi card is a TPlink thing, I've decided I'm giving it to him because he'll be using wifi more than I will so I'm just going to keep using my USB one.

 

RAM speed doesn't matter too much.

Ah.  That works.

 

Is TPlink is a good brand for that?

 

I assume that means you mostly use Ethernet cables?

Firstly, Wi-Fi Cards are not Routers.


Secondly, Asus makes decent Wi-Fi cards.

But TPlink is better?

 

Is there anything in particular that makes TPlink better?
