    Hi, i'm building a computer and its my first time so i'm not sure if I got everything right. I'm here to ask a few questions like if the parts are compatible or if i need to change anything or get anything else.
    i know how to build it because of YouTube videos i have watched. And i also amen't sure how to install an OS and get the right drivers and stuff if someone can help greatly appreciated
    :-)

    Part List(not using pcpartpicker i'm just using it cause its easier):

    All the drivers can be installed from your motherboard and GPU manufacturers websites, that's pretty straightforward.

    For installing the OS, you'll need to burn an ISO to a USB drive, boot off it and install, its not hard either. Use Rufus to write it to the USB.

    The PC itself is 100%, if you can push the budget any higher, I'd go for a better GPU, like a 290 or 390, even if second hand. I'd also try to add an SSD

    Thanks, i will do what you said about the OS but sadly my budget cant go much higher for the GPU, i can always upgrade in future.

    could the OS be transferred from another computer? or would it have to be bought again?

    Depends, if its from an OEM machine like a Dell, no.

    So probably not, W10 is fine without a key though.

    You're probably better off posting Q's here or starting a new thread for them, mods aren't the greatest fans of old threads being dug up.
