Well, since I was using my old PSU (presumed working) i decided that before i wire the whole thing in that i bench build it as such.
So, I did that and here are the results:
I was actually very nervous about doing this, as my old computer died a death (wouldn't post). I blamed the motherboard, although I do know that faulty power supplies can cause issues, I figured I was ok in my case.
Last night I took the PSU cover off to give it a clean and dust with compressed air, to find a bit of metal fall out... So after buying a whole new PC, it might have been that my PSU was faulty!! I inspected closely and determined it wasn't important and nothing looked blown/broken.
In the video above (for people who cba to watch it), it posted fine and behaved. So i'm hopeful the PSU is ok. If i do get any weird issues the first thing i'm doing is replacing the PSU.
So, let the build and cabling commence!!
