    Need help with meh first system build :)

    Hellooooooooooo people.

    Looking into my first system build, I want something that would be an excellent office build, (you know, web browsing and the like) and then something I can upgrade to a super duper gaming machine gradually

    Such as luck be it, on scan today only have a Scan 3XS '2015' Combo.

    Can someone check out the specage for me please. It all looks nice and good price. Oh yeah, and apart from everything in that bundle, what else would I need, like thermal paste or heatsink cabling all will that all be included?

    Cheers, and any easy peasy pc building guide links would be appreciative

    It will already have the stock AMD heatsink so you won't need hsf/thermal paste.
    I don't see a hard disc in the list so you need that and an IDE/sata cable for it.

    Other than that it looks ok.........though you may wish to double up the ram at a later date.
    Not a rig for overclocking but I would assume that isn't on the agenda anyway for your first build.

    Just follow the component installation instructions and you'll be fine.
    No idea about these rigs.........wether they come assembled or just as a package of components.

    Oh, and you'll need a copy of Windows/Linux too.
    (Would be a good idea to order that at same time)

    Good luck with whatever you decide on for your first build
