Also should my HDD be free floating and not tight screwed down?
Did I fuck up by not getting a disc drive? I didn't even think about it though it would be somewhere in that list of things I just paid 900 bucks for.
of course you dont need a disc drive, optical storage is dead.
the driver disc is crap, it's old drivers and often a bunch of opt-out third party shit and control panels/utilities you don't need like oc guru and bing. you'll want to get the newest drivers online.
and no it doesnt really matter if your hard drive is screwed in or not, as long as the case isn't moving around. My case is old and didn't have anywhere to put an SSD so I just taped it to the inside of the case. I've also had hard drives running at various angles for years before with no difference in performance or longevity so I don't think it affects them if the platters aren't parallel to the ground if that's your concern
