This is my first custom PC. I have all the parts, just waiting on the graphics card.

I have no f'in idea what do in Bios when it first starts up. Can someone shed some light on this subject for me? There is tutorials on the net, but nothing that deals with my specific PC parts. Will my PC recognize the hardware immediately, or do I have manually tell it everything?

Here is my list...

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor

Power Supply:

Memory:

Speakers:

Monitor: (22" Widescreen HDMI)
SCEPTRE x22wg-Gamer Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor

Sound Card:
