Spare parts...

Hey there guys, today my computer has finally arrived by mail and holy snits! She's a huge beast! (Hehe, my first time owning a gaming rig.)

Here are my specs:

NZXT Tempest EVO Gaming Tower Case

Intel® Core™ i7 920 Processor

CoolerMaster V8 CPU Cooling Fan System

12 GB DDR3-1333 Triple Memory Module - Corsair or Major Brand

ATI Radeon HD 5850 - 1GB

MSI X58 PRO-E -- Intel X58 CrossFire Chipset w/7.1 Sound, Gb LAN, Triple-Channel DDR3, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, Triple PCI-E MB

500 Watt PSU (Now it's a 700 watt from ZEON)

1.5 TB HARD DRIVE

LG BLU-RAY Re-Writer, DVD±R/±RW Burner Combo Drive

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

One change I noticed is the PSU. I still have the receipt and it says 500 watts. I guess they must've changed it to make me happy or something. Yea I got this rig from iBuypower.

But I also have other parts to go with, like connectors and some other things to go with. I know this may sound like a silly question but are they important too? Should I also install those too with my new rig?

And lastly, with the fallowing specs I listed, would it be possible to OC my rig? And if so, how high can I go? It's customed so I know it works, but would these do?

Yea I'm a little noobie. :P

I am not sure what parts you are talking about. I am sure they are just additional cables and extras.millerlight89

I wish I could take a picture to show you, but my camera has run out of juice. And yes they're cables and spare extras.
I'm sorry, I'm just askin just to be sure.

Rule of thumb: If it boots and makes it into Windows, you don't need to plug in anything else :)

Thank you guys. :)
That's all I needed to know. Now I better get back to my set-up. Feel free to make yourselves at home. Lol!

Alright, now the next thing is the setup. I turned on my computer, I can see the bios and Windows, but after that, the screen goes black. I can see the mouse and it's movable, but what now?
Everything is running, but I can't see what else is there to do. A little help here? :|
