I just heard from Micro Center. They said they will assemble the parts I buy from them, test the system, update drivers, install Win 10 pro with a 30 day warranty on labor and parts are the manufacturer's warranty. They return the media to me. I guess I would only have to install my Office 2010 if possible and update my printer drivers. Cost is $ 140.
What do you think?
Peter.

Hi Peter,
I had a number of more like $200 in mind, so I think that $140 a good deal, and I would take them up on it! :)

@maranna, That sounds like a good price to me. The work involved is well worth that.

After building my house, wiring plumbing and over hauling engines I wanted to get into this but age and health are in the way and undermine my confidence. Acceptance.

I think it's a good decision for you, and you'll be very happy! :)

!!Where is the component that has legacy and hyper threading, the processor or the mobo?

Peter

The CPU has Hyperthreading. I am not sure what you mean about Legacy unless you mean a Legacy or UEFI BIOS. If that is what you mean it is the Motherboard.

I believe in your list you have the i7-6600K as socket 1150 but it is a socket 1151. The socket on the CPU and Motherboard have to be the same, which I believe you have.

6600K and LGA1151

Thank you for the correction and I made the adjustment in both my notes an the post.
I am off to PCPartsPicker to check the rest for compatibility as I chose these from Micro center.

>It was pointed out that my CPU cooler would not fit in the case and that with my RAM the door would not close.


I found the Corsair Obsidian 750 D Airflow Edition Full for $ 139.00. Would this be OK with my current CPU cooler and the RAM I have.
