Hey, I've just ordered some replacement innards for my PC, I probably should have asked before ordering but oh well

I'm looking to play newish games on the cheap and maybe overclock the CPU a bit if it'll let me but its no biggy if it won't go any faster as it'll be a big improvement from my P4, will these components get on with eachother?


Gigabyte GeForce 8800 GT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GV-NX88T256H
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)
Intel Core 2 Duo E2200 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.20GHz (800FSB) - Retail
OcUK Value IP35-S Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK)

Oh and, will the hard drive come with a cable?

the sata cables should come with the MB

did you check that your current PSU is up to the job?

you should have really got a 512mb 8800GT as 512 mb is like the recommended now days on these forums.

Hey man, congrats on the new stuff. I just ordered some myself. can't wait till monday when it all arrives.

The hard drive won't some with a sata cable but the Mobo might. The last 2 computers i have built in the last month both came with 1 sata cable.

Take care mate

Sounds good I've got a new 460W Gigabyte PSU already, should be ok I guess, and I went for the 256MB card as I'm on a budget. As far as I know video memory doesn't make much difference but I'm sure someone on here could prove me wrong

Anyway wish me luck building it !
