Hardware Compatibility Queries

[davidbarry101]

From brief browsing I can see that computer spec question threads are all the rage, so if you'll permit me to ask about mine I shall be on my way.

I'm slamming together components for a gaming PC that'll stay on my desktop for a good few years, with a bit (a lot) of help from a techie friend, and I considered getting an expert opinion on whether my mobo's compatible with my cpu, ram, gpu, psu, etc.

My Basket:


AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition 3.2GHz -£159.00

ATI Radeon HD 6850 1GB Gigabyte -£146.39

Kingston 4GB 1600MHz DDR3 -£42.00

Asus Crosshair IV AMD AM3 DDR3 Mobo -£158.54

CiT 600W Black PSU -£25.52

Plus a Seagate 1TB SATA II HD, plus a Sony SATA II optical drive, plus a Corsair 40GB SATA II SSD, plus 64-bit Windows 7.


Main question is are they stable together, and will they work fine? Will the PSU provide enough wattage, and does it have enough outputs (Molex, SATA, etc)?

I've checked that the Mobo has the right sockets at least, and I'm probably not looking to OC until a year or two down the line, but I have the AMD Black for that.

Cheers.

Duly noted, and thanks for the info. I'll definitely get a better PSU, and I'll take a look at alternative CPUs and GPUs.

I'm looking to spend around £500-600, hard limit on £700. The SSD is just for OS and most frequent games/programs to be honest, I could probably do without.
