Hi all,
looking to do my first build, it will mainly be for office work and general home use, i.e. internet, photos, music etc
Below are the components i've decided upon after reading through the guide on this forum, (which btw was extremely helpfull)
I am still yet to decide upon a case and a monitor - so any suggestions as far as they are concerned would be greatly appreciated. In regards to the monitor, sleek/stylish would be ideal. I'm trying to keeep cost down as much as possible so bear that in mind
And as for the monitor, flatscreen and 19'' would probably suffice.
As far as internet connectivity goes I want it to be wireless, now networks are not my strong point so any help there would be appreciated
Now for the current specs -
- Asus DRW-2014L1T 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (Black/Silver) - Retail
- Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM
- Crucial 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2 PC2-4200C4 Dual Channel Kit (CT2KIT6464AA53E)
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+ 2.40GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail
- Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 AMD 770 (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
- OcUK Huntkey 550W PSU
- Keysonic Wireless Keyboard/Touchpad ACK-540RF
I believe i've chosen parts that are all compatible, but hey, its my first time and i may be wrong
Feel free to add/change/recommend different parts
Also, this may sound a stupid question, but do I need to buy any cables etc?
