Yes, I've got a bunch of spare led cables in both my PCs - if your mobo doesn't have connectors for them just leave them tied up

Congrats pedantic

Now you've got the biggest task of all ahead of you: reinstalling all your applications & copying all of your music etc files onto the new machine ....

Still haven't really started on mine, 3 weeks after finishing the build

Think I'll join you in that vodka

Re: I'm going to build a PC

Glad all went well for you. I'm sure you have done this already, but if not, maker sure you install your anti virus, firewall, and perform any updates to software you install.

Already done the anti-virus and temporarily using windows firewall until I get sorted out properly. Am behind a router so not too bad until then. Fully up to date with windows updates too.
