It is what it is, try your bank for a loan?

Why get the 2100 when the 2120 is £5 more and better....

New rig: Decided I should re-model my plan, the last one was too expensive and crappy:

MSI 760GM-E51 (FX) AMD 760G (Socket AM3+) Motherboard

AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4100 Black Edition 3.60Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor

500W PSU

1GB GeForce GT 520

500GB SATA HDD

mATX case

4GB Corsair RAM (1333MHz)

Samsung S222BB 22x DVD+/-RW SATA Black - OEM.

This is my list, what cables do I need? If there is anything I'm missing, let me know, so I can get it on the list.

Thanks

 

[beejjacobs]

So, is this to be used for gaming itself? Or just as a server?

Most people would argue that Intel are better than AMD at pretty much every price range....

Also 500W PSU? Which one? Don't get a cheap one, not worth the money.

All the cables you need should come with it.

 

[The__Dragon]

ok. Its like 15 quid, but if it goes its cheap enough to replace cheaply.

 

[The__Dragon]

gaming

 

[The__Dragon]

The server isn't big, its a Minecraft Server, and I possibly may only run it privately.

At 15 quid, if it goes, it almost certainly won't be cheap to replace

1) Why are you looking at a FX-4 That will perform about the same as a Pentium 1155.

2) Also the M/B you have picked is not a *True* AM3+ it is a AM3 with a bios update, So if the bios is outdated you will need to update it which will be tricky without a working PC.

Also The_Dragon Stop posting just edit your post.

Don't get a cheap PSU... it'll go bang and take other parts with it.

And don't get a Bulldozer, because they're slow and poor value for money.
