I think the only thing i'm worried about is wether the Graphics card will work well with the Mobo? and if you can see any other compatability issues then please tell me. also will the power suply be sufficient enough? can you find a cheaper one than that?

[Edit] also what will happen if i buy a PSU that isnt powerfull enough, because i have just been on (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine) to calculate the voltage required and it said 591 :O should i get a better psu?[/Edit]
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Many Thanks, Dan :)

wow thanks for the quick reply.

the reason i left out the Hard drive is because i already have a spare one with an OS already loaded, so i dont want to have to buy another and then fork out for the OS.

i would like to stick to the AMD processor because it already has 3.0GHZ and can overclock from there if needs be and it seems to be better for gaming. Plus intel seems more expensive for less GHZ :confused:

what psu would you reckon i need because i have been reading 600w is Minimum :eek: 750w is better.

Many Thanks, Dan
 
so every thing is compatible? and sure to work?

what PSU would i need do you think? is that 600w sufficient or do i need a more powerfull one?

thanks, Dan
