New Lumos

So, I bought a Lumos PC from Digitalstorm and this will be my first gaming PC ever, i'm on stage 6 and the anticipation is gnawing at me. How long does stage 6&7 usually take?

Yes thats exactly why my orders been delayed, which is understandable, but thats good to hear. I'm trying! Haha

Originally posted by Cretae You really want to know NOW about what you bought? AFIK, you can't go back at stage six. No tragedies to report, but you totally wasted money on the 1000W power supply, and you failed to get an NVMe M.2 SSD for your primary drive. The DS one is SATA. Like I said, not a tragedy, but the NVMes are 5 times faster. Right now, while you are thinking of it, order an M.2 NVMe SSD online. Get a Firecuda, get a Samsung, get whatever flavor and size you want, but get one. Your board, which is excellent by the way, has another M.2 slot for one of those. Very easy to install yourself. The drive plugs into an M.2 slot on the front of your board, and you're done! No cables, no wires. Google. Windows should see the drive as soon as it's in there, or you may have to format it first, IDK. The instructions with the drive will tell you. Clone every thing on the DS SSD to your NVMe drive and re-name it C: and you will never be sorry. 5 times faster is a total game changer. You can wait as long as you want to do this, but it's easiest if you do it right away.

Yea I figured I overdid it with the power supply, no turning back now haha. I'll definetely look into that, thank you for the feedback!
