Help needed in making sure all components go...

Hey all,

The components below are the components im going to be using in my new PC build that I'll be building next week.

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+

Mobo - Asus M2N-E Socket AM2

RAM - OCZ 2x1GB PC 5300 Dual Channel GX XTC

GFX Card - XFX GeForce 7800 GTX 512Mb PCI-E

PSU - 580W Hiper Type-R Blue

HD - 300GB Maxtor D/Max +10 SATA [16MB]

Optical Drive - NEC ND-4570 DVD-RW/RAM

Case - Aspire X-Cruiser Blue

OS - Windows XP Pro (x64 Edition)

---

I've already purchased the case, PSU and HD.
What I'd like to know is if I purchase all these items, will they all work in sync with each other and come with the correct cables that I need etc.

PLUS, will the CPU come with a Heatsink? AND I heard you should use thermal paste when putting the heatsink on? Will that come with it?

Thanks,

Marky

CPU will be AM2

Plus just a reminder guys I've already purchased the case, PSU and HD - unfortunatly no going back on these babies. But It's just a start, after i'll be able to upgrade it further possibly with a second HD

Whats your budget, not including having the PSU, Case HD (so take tht from budget) i'd say the guys from OcUK can come up with a spec that will be more suited for you.

What monitor you going for?

s-

I got myself the neccesities such as Mouse, keyboard, monitor etc.
Im just building the PC - for now

I've calculated at having a budget of around £780 left to spend. I play games a lot and use the internet in web design and coding etc.

EDIT: I do also have to buy XP Pro 64 Version - thats all in the budget above

So that leaves £780 to get RAM, CPU, Mobo, GFX etc?

I only wants XP Pro 64 because of the X2 processor.

Thanks for all the specs you've all given me. Could anyone point me to any good ATI 1900 XT Reviews? I've really been a AMD for CPU and Nvidia for GFX kind of guy

So I need to explore the outer regions ^^
