also, he doesn't mention using thermal paste to install the CPU, is that a necessity?
well you should always have the latest drivers for graphics cards and sound cards and such

and thermal paste is a necessity, if your not an overclocker then use the paste that comes with the cpu, if you are an overclocker then buy some mx-2
