Hey people, i have been torturing forum members for advice lately on a new build for around 800.00. After much deliberation and hardware changes based on forum suggestions heres what i have come up with.

Once again if you see any problems or have any advice let me know, but i am pretty sure this is what im going for:

Motherboard:
Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AMD 890GX

CPU:
AMD Phenom II x4 Quad 955 Black Edition (AM3)

RAM:
Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel PC3-12800C9 1600Mhz

Graphics:
ATI HD 5770 Vapor-x

Optical Drive:
Sony optiarc AD-72415

Cooling:
Arctic Cooling freezer 7 PRO REV 2

Case:
Thermaltake VL10001 Element G

PSU:
OCZ ModxStream 600w
8-pin PSU extension cable 25cm

Hard Drive:
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB


Thats it. I read that the motherboard and HDD i have conflict in some way of the HDD clunking? Anyone expand on this?

Thanks for your time and patience with a newcomer! :D
 
Firstly I read about the issue between the mobo and HDD in the reviews for the mobo i think. It says theres a fix but i dont know if i want the trouble of it especially on my first build.
I also considered an ssd but unfortunately its too expensive currently, i may upgrade to one in the future, they sound great. The build above runs in at £758.00, so the ssd is out but i could upgrade to the fenrir and still be in budget if you think it would make a difference.
Thanks, im just concerned that i get all the parts and when i go to build it i am missing something, like a cable, screw or something. Lol. Want it to run smoothly.

Again keep the comments coming if you see something that could benefit me or the build! I have about £40 or so to play around with.
