Help! first build £500

burzy · 12 Feb 2011 at 17:52

Hello, After thinking long and hard i have decided my next pc will not be a pre built. I'm going to take the plunge and built it myself.

My budget will be £500-550max with this i need a copy of windows7. Its mainly going to be used for playing games and the other half's photo editing. The amd+ati route seems to get me more bang for my buck.

If someone could spend the time to list me a full package that would be great.
thanks in advance.

Will that mobo do the job?? or is it worth throwing a bit extra cash at it for a better one??

It will do the job.

Do you want SATA and USB 3.0? or Crossfire?

If Crossfire - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-025-FC

If SATA and USB3.0 and no Crossfire - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-134-MS&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=1782

I'm not too fussed on crossfire mate. This pc is mainly for WoW (diablo3 when its out) and for the other half to use for photo editing and facebook!

Ty for fast replies.

Good spec there. Remember the HDD and RAM are on offer until Monday 9am at that price.
