Building a rig for a friend and wanted to check this is all compatable?

The computer will not be used dominantly for gaming more for design work but mainly 3ds max.

spec:

AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1055T 2.80GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail

LG Flatron W2261V 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Patriot Viper 4GB (2x2GB) PC3-10666 1333MHz Dual Channel (PVS34G1333ELK)

Logitech S96 PS/2 Optical Wheel Mouse Black - OEM (953688-1600)

Total Price: £791.83 inc postage.


Few concerns:

1) is it all compatable? i am not sure what mobo to use and if the PSU is enough power

2) how overclockable are the new 6 core amd chips?

3) what kindof performance should i expect to see using that GPU in the list?


Can anyone do better for the price but alsowhat can people make with a £700 budget?


many thanks.
 
ok, i have been out of the loop for a while so is there some issues with the new AMD processors?
 
anyone care to help with an entire £700 built please? looking to order parts either this or next week.
