The only other problem was when I was installing the graphics card. I was using the discrete card to get the OS installed, then popped it in the GPU. It wouldn't boot up, scratched my head, removed it, played around with some things, then just worked.

 

Yeah Don, I was much the same. My old dev PC was about 8~ years old since it was built so a little rusty.

You may not have seated the card properly the first time, Neo. It's way too easy to leave one side just high enough that all of the contacts don't meet properly. The first rule of card installment is to take it out and plug it back in if it doesn't work the first time for that very reason; same thing with RAM.

 

I agree with Don, there is a great feeling when you put together a computer for the first time and it boots up without a hitch. I get an even greater feeling when I upgrade and it does the same. ;)
