Hey guys i wanna build a new pc, what u think of these parts ? r they all compatable ? would you change anything ?

and i have this case its all going into

i think the case comes with a 450w psu, i think should be enough to run what i need.

Also i was planning on waiting for the new AMD CPU but it seems its going to be awhile before that comes out, will this motherboard be futureproof ?

No hotlinking.

Thanks for the info guys, i have changed the HDD now thanks for that

as for the case, the place i was buying it from is out of stock so cant get that no more :S everywhere i phone doesnt seem to have it, so im going to have to pick another one, i would much rather buy one from overclockers, but they dont come with a PSU and my budget is rather limited i have £50 to spend on a case + PSU

whats the difference with these PSU's compared to the ones that come with a case, i bought a PC from pcworld many moons ago and im still actualy useing the case and PSU now lol it has served me realy realy well

i would much prefair to order all my parts from the one place, currently lookin what OC offers on this

just because i dont have those things listed, doesnt mean i dont have them lol i cant afford to upgrade everything in one go, so im doing it in stages, i have gfx card not that good HD3650 but it will do me untill i have enough to get a new one, as for sound lol well onboard has served me well for years so i see no reason why i should break that

Ok after some adjustments i think i have found something that suits me price wise, how does this look ?

i cant reuse my case, giving it to family member along with some parts i dont need anymore, only thing im taking out of it is my gfx card and HDD oh and dvd drive

The RAM will only run in single channel but you can always add another similar DIMM at a later date if required when you have more funds available.

yea im still not sure if i should leave the HDD for now and just get 4gig memory

linwelin · 24 Feb 2010 at 17:12

You could always get a cheaper motherboard and get 4gb ram?

considering getting an AM2+ board and useing the memory that i have, ram seems to be realy exspesive atm so i might look to that option

my only concern would be how future proof is an AM2+ board going to be ? does anyone know ?

What RAM do you have??

I would think that AM3 would have a better upgrade path IMHO.

Geil 8500 4X

I think going for an AM2+ board will be better, can anyone recomend one for me ? with the parts im getting.
