Hey,

I want to build my own PC and I have a budget of £600-£700 for the Tower only.

I'm not sure what stuff I'll need.
I'd like to be able to play games on in it.

Stuff I have;

Corsair - 8GB (2x4GB) - XMS3
Vantage Gamers Case - Angel (White, X11)
DVD Drive

I'd like to keep it close to £600 as possible, but would push higher to get the better performace. If what I've already got, sucks then I don't mind replacing any either.

Thank you,

Luke

Found this in another thread, posted by Armageus.

If I removed the Case, and ram and used the 8GB (Corsair - 2x4GB - XMS3) I already own. Would it connect to the motherboard? and still run well?​
 
Hey,

I ordered everyting and the PSU suggested. Going with this:

[*] 1 x Intel Core i5-6500 3.20GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail= £188.99

[*] 1 x Asus H110-Plus Intel H110 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard= £59.99

[*] 1 x Team Group Elite 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-19200C16 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (TPKD416GM2400HC16D= £59.99

[*] 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Nitro+ OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express RGB Graphics Card= £185.99

[*] 1 x = £79.99

[*] 1 x [url=https://www.overclockers.co.uk/samsung-250gb-750-evo-ssd-2.5-sata-6gbps-solid-state-drive-hd-224-sa.html]Samsung 250GB 750 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive= £59.99

[*] 1 x WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD - OEM (WD10EZEX)= £42.95

I'm stuck with the build itself, It's the first time I've tried putting one together.

I've connected everything up, and went to test it. Everything lights up and seems to work except the motherboard and the fan above the intel chip.

All fans on the case work, the Graphics card lights up, theres an orange light on the lower part of the motherboard but not towards the top.

Any help would be really appreciated.
 
Ah, yeah. Thank you! That worked. The fan spins now!

I have two other questions as well.

I have some spare connections from the PSU, I may have missed where they go in the tutorials I've watched. Does the CP wire connect next to where I've just connected the CPU Fan?

And my Hard Drive only has a SATA connection. I cant find any other wires that will fit next to it to link it with the Motherboard. Will it still work with just the SATA from the PSU I have?

I assumed I'd have spare wires from the PSU, I poured the 4 pin CP one into the motherboard.

Went to test the system and I can't get a display onto either my monitor or a tv through a HDMI cable to the graphics card.

Any help, would be appreciated. I'm stressing! Thank you.
 
I have all that connected. I am getting beeps in a pattern

1 beep followed by 2 beeps, first beep is slightly longer than the others, over and over again.
 
I've figured out that the beep was for the ram not being in correctly.
It turned on and the only beep I heard was kinda like a turning on beep. I see ASUS on my monitor and then it goes after 2 seconds and says 'HDMI is not available'
