Hi, I'm building my first PC soon, and would like a little bit of advice on the products i've chosen and final build procedure.
I've already got
Lian li PC-7 + case
Zalman VF900-CU
DVD Drive
Floppy Drive
So i basically just need the components. Here is what i've chosen
CP-135-IN Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (CP-135-IN)
£109.95 £109.95
GX-047-CO Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (3056) (GX-047-CO)
£174.95 £174.95
MY-058-GL GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) (MY-058-GL)
£109.95 £109.95
MB-061-GI Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-061-GI)
£89.95 £89.95
CA-017-OC OCZ ModStream 520w ATX2.2 Power Supply (CA-017-OC)
£54.95 £54.95
HD-104-WD Western Digital Caviar RE 250GB 2500YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-104-WD)
£53.95 £53.95
Subtotal £593.70
VAT £103.90
Total £697.60
I don't have a specific budget, but I'm trying to go for value products. I won't be overclocking much, but i've bought things with overclocking in mind should i wish to in the future, so i spent slightly more on a motherboard. Are there any other cheaper boards that are worth checking out?
I'm kinda confused by Conroe coolers, haven't found any that recieve all around good reviews. Can anyone recomend a good CPU cooler for around £20?
I don't know much about RAM, the Geil 2GB kit is nice and cheap but is it a good set?
Lastly is the OCZ modstream a good PSU, or are there others which are better for a simliar price? Is is worth the extra money to get an Enermax Liberty 500w, and will 500W be enough to power the whole system.
Thanks in advance
