Hi.
My Packard Bell iMedia is dead and I can finally build a new pc! Nervous about getting it wrong, so help would be appreciated. I do a bit of gaming but nothing high end. I would just like something a bit better than the old pc, with a mobo good enough for future upgrades, should I get more into gaming, oh and for photoshop etc.
There is a wd 640gb 7200rpm caviar blue hdd, a casecom 500w psu and a radeon ati x1950 xtx graphics card I wanna take from the old rig...
Other components I have chosen as follows...
Intel core i3 2120 processor
Asus p8h67m mobo
Kingston hyper x genesis grey 4gb ddr3 ram
Gelid tranquillo cpu cooler
and I thought id put it all in the sharkoon t9 black n green case... but it has a window in the side and im not sure if the grey fan and ram will look a bit rubbish in there, as a lot of the mobo is blue and so is the light on the psu fan, I might look for blue/green/black parts instead (as i cant find a psu,ram or cpu fan in green, but please let me know if you know of equivalent price/quality products in green)
Would all of this go together okay? Are all the parts worth getting? Im on a bit of a budget 'cause i'm buying my first big motorbike soon, so if im buying more expensive parts than I need to please let me know, though I could go up to 350 at a stretch...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out
