Going to build my own computer, heres what i bought yesterday from OCUK,
AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition "125W Edition" 3.20GHz (Socket AM3) - Retail £90.24 1 £90.24
Asus GeForce GTX 460 Direct CU TOP 768MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £89.74
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) £37.99
Corsair CX 500W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-500CXUK) £36.38
Zalman Z7 Plus Midi Tower Case - Black £34.76 1 £34.76
VAT: £50.59
Order Total: £339.70
Now what i would love the people of OCUK to help me with
is to help me find a motherboard, HDD and disk drive.
Also i have a question, do all parts from OCUK come with required connections/screws? e.g. a HDD and SATA Cables, because someone told me they didnt so im not sure what to buy..
and lastly what default outputs does a computer have ? Before i eventually buy a monitor i would like to hook my computer up to my 32" tv (tempoary), and it has outputs Scart, HDMI, VGA, and those red, white and blue cables you use for console/dvd video and audio
what ones would be most practical ? I think VGA but does the GPU i have bought have these outputs ?
Thank You
EDIT : Budget is 550 MAX, with the parts already bought, i need motherboard, HDD, disk drive and windows (or if i cant use my tv, a monitor)
EDIT 2:The GTX 460 i purchased has a mini hdmi output, im feeling that the "mini"part means its a bit smaller than the connector on my tv
Last edit i swear: /watch?v=3Ku2zRjsSMM (not sure if i can post youtube links?) anyway thats my case, im just wondering, are all mobos built the same so that they fit into most cases? Im just worried mine wont fit -.-
