This is my spec, I don't really overclock and given I'm going from an old athlon and a 9800pro I hope I wont need to
Asrock ConroeXFire-eSATA2 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £49.99 (£58.74)
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - Retail £105.99 (£124.54)
Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C5 Dual Channel Kit (CT2KIT12864AA667) £139.99 (£164.49)
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK) £59.99 (£70.49)
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1950 XT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £139.99 (£164.49)
Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM £42.99 (£50.51)
Total £633.25 + p&p
I already have a case, OS and optical drives but I need the rest
Is anything on here known to be incompatible or just not very good?
I'm also kind of unsure about the HDD, I'm tempted by the quiet Samsung ones for the same price but WD have the reputation. Would it be a risk to go for Samsung?
