    Have to go out to watch the footie in a bit, might just leave the assembly for tomorrow. Probably won't have the motivation for it later when I get home after we get hammered by the Pool :pac:

    Yeah it came in that bag, plus a generous wrapping of bubble wrap. PSU too came without a box, again with just some bubblewrap.

    I've assembled it outside the case just to see if everything's working, and thankfully everything seems to be.

    Had a fright, when it wouldn't POST at first. All the fans would turn on but nothing showed up on the screen. Turns out I just forgot to plug in the 4 pin/8 pin CPU power connector :pac:

    Processor, mobo, RAM, GPU, SSD, and PSU seem to be all working great. Only one I haven't plugged in to test is the HDD. I'll probably leave the rest till tomorrow though. Would it be fine just to leave it as it is sitting in the open until I have the time to put everything together in the case tomorrow ?

    Have it in the case now and setup in my room. It's whisper quiet when not gaming, sometimes I think the PC has gone to sleep because of it. Played a bit of Shadow of Mordor on Ultra and it's still barely audible. Don't think the GPU fans go up past 30% even when gaming. My old PC was starting to sound like a plane taking off when gaming :pac:

    Defo very pleased with it, thanks for the help lads :)
