Hello ROG members,
Firstly,let me tell you that this is the first time i have built a desktop system and i choose an ROG motherboard(good reviews about it every where 🙂 ).
I was absolutely thrilled when i set up my rig and the Republic of Gamers flashed on my TV !!!

But i am getting a slight problem now,I have not yet installed an operating system.Wanted to clear a few things before i proceed.

Here are my system specs :

CPU: Intel 3.4 GHz LGA1150 4670K i5
Motherboard: Maximus V1 Hero
RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB @1333 MHz
HDD: WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB Internal HDD
SSD: Samsung 840 Series 120 GB
CD/DVD-Drive: HP DVD1260i-UH07D DVD Burner
PSU : iBall Marathon 500w

Firstly,the 7-segment display on the motherboard displays "AE".(Legacy Boot Event).I have no idea what that means!!.If some body could explain it to me that would be great.

Secondly,When i enter the bios,in the BOOT tab,where i can choose the booting priority I do not see my samsung SSD in the drive options.I only see the 1 TB HDD.
I removed the HDD SATA connections and only left the SDD SATA connections plugged in,now i see the SSD as one of the booting options in the bios.But when i connect both the SSD and HDD,the SSD does not appear as a boot option.What could be the issue here??

Thirdly,
I am using my TV(Sony Bravia as a monitor) via the HDMI port.Would i experience any kind of lag(video and audio) when gaming compared to a regular VGA port?
