Need feedback on build before buying.

Gone way above my original budget here. Somone told me trying to stick to a intended budget is an art, as you will alway want more in most departments. Well, for me, it was the graphics.

Anyway, before I buy, I just need some reassurance that the build I've chosen will all be compatible and work well. Also, I need a recommendation on 4GB DDR3 memory which won't break the bank.

Thanks in advance.

Already have AMD Phenom II x3 720 CPU

I'm taking it that you already have a CPU then, and if so what CPU do you have????

CBJ · 18 Dec 2009 at 15:23

Won't you be needing a CPU in there somewhere?

Thanks. Any recommendations for 4gb of RAM for under 80 quid?

G.Skill Ripjaw looks like your best bet.

They the red ones or blue

Oh and thanks Icysniper for HDD recommendation.

The blue should be marginally faster but if £7 is going to make a difference to you then get the red ones.

gizzaciggy · 18 Dec 2009 at 17:30

Thanks. I did get the blue.
