Oh i had no idea that the paste was for the cpu my bad but i think i won't need it they sell special cooling fan for the motherboard that goes on top of the cpu to keep it cool, on the other hand the tower i chose i have no idea what kind of motherboad it would need i can't chose any motherboad for my tower, i think every tower need a specific type of motherboad so the "NZXT Phantom PHAN002GR Steel Performance ATX Full Tower Case" what kind of motherboard would fit in it ?????

You always need the compound, always.

Uh watch the guide it will answer most your Q's it explains a lot for you.

Played it with sound he gives you alot of info and put into simple terms.

To quickly answer the Q it fits all motherboards, ATX is the bigest size, the vid goes into more detail about that also

This will depend on what kind of ports your TV has. If it has VGA (same kind of plug you use for a regular monitor), make sure the video card you get has two of those ports. If your TV supports HDMI then I would highly recommend getting a card that supports that; it transfers both sound and video through one cable and has been a more reliable method for me.

HDMI so that why i don't hear any sound from my tv when i plug my laptop in. As a matter a fact i have both vga and hdmi support so i think i should be good but what is this card i need to make the hdmi work ?????

[MaslowK]

Any video card with an HDMI port should work fine. I don't know any that come with that off the top of my head, but it should say so in the product description.

Well, video cards can vary quite a bit in size & shape, but here's an example;



So something like that, only you'll want one with an HDMI port that looks like this;

Watch the vid HDMI features on the cards in the vid he does cover just about everything for you.

Missing..???

Keyboard, Mouse (Presume your going to use your TV for a monitor but you may need some extra video leads to do that)
Blueray or DVD drive/burner plus some blank media to play with
USB Joypad or USB joypad converter (I like to use a couple of PS2 to USB converters but then again I have a bunch of PSX and PS2 controllers I can use) you may even want an Arcade stick for games like Street Fighter ect, X-Arcade do some nice ones but they are far from cheap

Look at post number 21 i already mention that i have Keyboards, Mouse, and controllers as for the dvd drive burner i can use the one that was on my old desktop computer. Anything else ????

[Zorlon]

Shame no bluray but guess there is no rush for that you can always do that later, but please be aware that new mother boards tend not to support IDE drives any more and only support Serial ATA (SATA) that uses different connections so that old DVD drive may not work with it

Is the Gravis pad USB? the last I admit it was very very old... anyway the last Gravis Game Pad Pro I used, used the olde serial game port, that PC's no longer have, sticking with USB now

I presume the keyboard and mouse still work and use either PS/2 ports or USB, some boards don't have PS/2 either so can only use USB mind.

It depends how old your old desktop was

The first PC I had was a 7086 (pre 286 if you are wondering, if you know what a 286 was even) that I can guarantee nothing from that would work on today's machines but that was one of the first IBM machines

The following image shows IDE on the top and SATA under it, it is shown on a HDD but CD/DVD/BD drives are the same



almost forgot but you will need to buy an OS for that machine
