Is it possible to get a better power supply from Seasonic? Still 500W, though.

You can get a Win10 key for cheaper on Dealzcube or Kinguin and put the money towards a larger SSD from A-Data (SP550).

Everything looks good, though.

OP can use a USB installer from Microsoft's website.

can you link me a tutorial and can i put it on a flashdrive?

A tutorial? You mean the OS? You buy the key from the site and get the USB install file from Microsoft.

yes a flashdrive will work ive never done it that way but my friend has. i think you need a big enough flashdrive though.

8GB is large and expendable enough.

oh ok thought it would be more complicated, thanks!

oh my friend uses a 64 gb flashdrive so i just assumed you need a big one to be able to do it.

[teagansalter]

The seller provides an USB installer but don't use it. Use the one from Microsoft themselves.

that psu is questionable. the new cx greys are much better quality. kingston v300 ssds were bait and switch, so not great. other than that, you dont need tim since it comes preapplied (and if you were to buy some, mx4 is a much better choice since its non conductive and doesnt have the burn in time).

side note: an aio cooler is not very cost effective. a h60 has about the same cooling capacity as a 212 evo

That's normal. It'll be sent to your email today or tomorrow. Go to this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

Grab a USB that's 4, 8, or 16GB and run the tool after formatting the drive to NTFS.

quite sad to say but im running a mac at the moment is there a workaround for this?

[ARikozuM]

The tool should still work since it formats just to be sure.
