Reddit reviews Kingston Digital 8GB Data Traveler 3.0 USB Flash Drive - Yellow (DTIG4/8GB )

Dude, you can get an 8GB flash drive for less than $5. How could you not have one?

In fact I'm pretty sure you can stand on a street corner asking passersby for spare flash drives and get one in less than 10 minutes.

This usb is suppose to have the proper firmware. I have one sitting on my desk let me try tomorrow give you an update. Kingston Digital 8GB Data Traveler 3.0 USB Flash Drive - Yellow (DTIG4/8GB ) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G9WHMHC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kNTMDb1047A97

Those are $4.99 and they're Kingston!

Only catch is you would have to buy 6 but that's kinda the point, no?

slightly over budget, sorry. I can lower the price if needed!
I did how-ever also include a headset!

I did try to avoid Amazon as much as I could. But for the peripherals + PSU Amazon really offers the best value.

  Guides
  

  
  ---
  
  Now before you have a look at all these guides. The best guide in most cases will always be your MANUAL. Some manuals are garbage, but most of them are more than good enough to be able to help figure out most problems.
  
  

• How to build an Intel 115x socket PC? This is my personal favorite because it goes in depth, but still keeps the video relatively short.
  It also got great camera work so you are able to follow all the steps very well.
  I decided to skip the start of the video. The reason being that the video is posted on 17th of May 2013, he gives the rationale of his selected parts at the start. This is a very long time ago, so the parts are very old, so no need to hear this out. But building a PC is still pretty much the same. No drastic changes.
  There are a lot of different build guides on the internet, but I really like this one. It's easy to follow.
  
  
• How to install a 115x CPU? Very simple and easy to follow guide again.
  
• How to install RAM? It's very simple these days. For DDR4 it's pretty much the same.
  
• How to install Windows 8(.1) or 10 from an USB drive? You have to download "media creation tool" which is located at the bottom of the page (blue button). Run that program with a 4GB+ USB flash drive plugged into a PC. Then follow the simple steps and the program will make the USB drive bootable. After that all you have to do is build the PC and boot from that USB drive to install Windows.
  
• How to set up your SSD & HDD? This video is another older video, but it works pretty much the same in Win 8/10. He does talk about a few things that aren't very important, but it's good to know.
  
• How to use Ninite? This video explains it very well, as well as their recommendations. For security I advise to only get Avira (if you don't mind to get an add every day; if you do mind - just use Microsoft Defender) & Malwarebytes. If you want to pay for an anti-virus; Webroot! Light weight; very high detection rate.
