Looks like a good spec, have you ever installed components before? My advice would be to take your time and install the CPU, heatsink and memory in the motherboard whilst it is outside of the case.

Read the instructions for your motherboard carefully.

[steve210]

yes i have installed components and OS before about 5 years ago but ive actually read some of the motherboard manual

[steve210]

would it be better if i download the drivers straight from gigabyte instead of use the cd driver my motherboard came with

[DannyM]

Generally speaking yes, the drivers from the manufacture website should mostly be up to date.
