Once purchased and delivered this will become a build thread(with pics if someone explains to me how to embed them into the thread lol)

A BIGGGGG THANKS for all the help so far everyone, so excited im finally going to build this thing :)
 
Heard great things about both PSU's but im gonna stick with the Corsair :) I just like some brands better than others for no reason at all sometimes :p

EDIT: And yeah single GPU only, dont think ill ever feel the need for SLi in the future so it should be fine.

Looks good. If you upload the pics to an image hosting site, like photobucket or imageshack. Then they will give you the "IMG" code. Just copy and paste it into the message. As easy as that. Will this be your first build?
 
Thanks for all the kind words, im sure I will enjoy it :)

Yes this is my first build, sadly I dont have the space for a desk and monitor so I will be using my TV, LG 42", so would that be 1080p resolution? Never quite understood resolutions :p
 
Okay cool, im told that a monitor would give me a much better gaming experience but sadly theres nothing I can do about it until I move out but it doesnt bother me too much :)

Does anyone know which GPU this is?

Its the one I will be using until I buy a 570. I got it in a pre-built system a few years ago but never found out the name :p

EDIT: Sorry Image was HUGE! ill try sorting that out and re post.

Attempt number 2:

Click to expand...
:rolleyes: Im so stupid some times, always overlook the obvious.. :p Yes there was a label, turns out its a GeForce 7900GS, thanks stulid!

And thanks Buchanan, it worked perfectly, and it was as easy as described. Just never gave it a thought before :)

Not bad at all man! I tried to find out the name once by googling "Galaxy GPU with purple shroud" but to no avail. Had no idea what else to try lol

So glad people on these forums are this helpful otherwise I would never try building a PC :p
 
Hmmm I just realised I was relying on HDMI from the 570 to carry audio to my TV, I dont have speakers atm. Is there a cable I can use to output sound through my TV?
