Looking at getting another desktop

If you're gaming on a 1080p monitor and want High to Max gaming with some of the
latest, graphically intense games, I would spend a bit more and get the gtx 1060, if not the 1070.   The 1060 is a big jump over the 1050ti, the 1070 another big jump over the 1060.

You'll need to add a Wireless card in the config to get wireless.  Or add your own after delivery.

To get sound you'll need speakers or a monitor with speakers.  HDMI will carry the video and audio to your screen with speakers.

Good Luck.

Looks good.  The gtx 1070 is a strong card.    You'll be glad you picked it. 

Couple of smaller details.......I would select the CD option under Recovery.  If your drive dies then the partition for restore dies with it.  Good to have a backup CD to boot to.

The Corridium is a real nice case.  If you want , add the internal lighting for a little bling. 

Congrats !!

you are going to be so happy

I'm sure you will be able to add your drive with no issues


enjoy the wait...
   
     

Adding the hdd should be no issue. The pc should recognize when it starts.
I use MS Security Essentials.
You should get it soon.

I got my new computer but now I have issues with my monitor. It won't recognize either computer now. It's the first time I've had that issue I believe. Please help me. I'm using an Asus vs228h-p.

The monitor says vga no signal. I'm going to order another adapter and HDMI cable. The monitor and pc are plugged in a power strip. The adapter didn't quite fit on the new pc.

The motherboard is where I plug in the USB for the mouse and keyboard right?

if i could interject here?

if you're trying to connect over VGA (the blue cable connector) that is an analog only signal. 

you monitor specs indicate VGA (also known as D-sub), DVI-D (digital only) and HDMI (digital only) capabilities.  if your monitor (check selector button ) is set to receive a digital signal (via HDMI or DVI) then you will not receive a picture while using the blue VGA cable connections. 

and just my opinion, there is no reason to favor using VGA over HDMI or DVI.

The monitor is set to VGA right now and is in standby mode.

I did have another HDMI cable (thanks Wii u). I only got cables for plugging in the PC and setting up a wireless connection with the system.
I'm going to check if I have any other cables that came with the monitor.
