I found a better case that has the rad top mounted outside the back. I thought about that after reading that case info.

As for the cooler to cpu bracket... thats be on mobo site?

Actuall nvm. I seitched to the h60 which has am4 bracket. The h55 did not.

I thought I better do some rechecking.

This was Your original build > https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vP9JXP

This was the build i thought you settled on > https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yFbXBb

 

this is the build you decided on, (with changed cooler and case) > https://pcpartpicker...16/saved/4HTfHx

 

You downgraded the MB, (are you reading the correct MB Manual?)

You downgraded the CPU.

So the build you posted is OK, everything is compatible. 

 

" may need help installing win7 onto a m.2. But i was reading the mobo info on the site and they give a free program for that. "

Please give a link to the info as it is something I don't know about.

ya guess i did. well i was thinking how i didnt want to spend that much. so i sat down and figured up everything id be doing on the computer and honestly even this build is way overkil. but i think its a good medium for price and preformance.  heres the link from asrock website. https://www.asrock.c...tall/index.html

Thanks, a very useful link.

I would say your ready to go, so good luck.

If you need any help we are hee, and please let us know how the build performs,,  as it helps others who are building their own. 

Thanks.

Np. And i sure will! Though im trying to make a custume win7 boot usb... but its not going well.

[iammykyl]

Where is it going wrong?

 An additional part I see as essential (for hearing POST beep codes.) and  always include in a build,  find similar, > https://store.cwc-group.com/casp.html

with building the win7 boot media the first thing is trying to find a program that will do it. ive went tho 5 programs so far and they were half locked or wouldnt apply changes bc of it being on trail.

 

then other thing i was running into was drivers/services/features... theres way more then i thought and i dont want to remove/disable something and poof i got a nice big pricey paperweight

 

thanks ill check that link out. i wouldnt of thought about the speaker. not use to having one i guess? but would b good to have if the hdd light doesnt flash the code

Have you downloaded the iso file?

Follow the steps in the tutorial, > https://www.lifewire...rom-usb-2626264You will then need to perform extensive windows updates.

 

or, more complicated, this guide, but I would use a larger USB stick, > https://www.raymond....7-install-disc/

 

An alternative is to look for a used DVD burner on ebay, much simpler all round.

Best Answer

updating the topic is much appreciated.   Good to hear you are pleased with it.

The virus removal forum is often very busy, if no one answers in 3 or 4 day, post in the waiting room.

Get back and let us know the outcome please.
