Hi Guys,

Looking to get the above componants for a new build. Just wondering if you guys have any recomendations for better stuff which isnt too much expensive. Really only have a budget of £600.

Cheers

Not sure if 500w will be enough. If you think it will be I'll do that if it's cheaper. Want room to expand to 2*6870s if I decide in the future.

Cheers =]

That is the Case + 500w Coolermaster PSU. It's a better case and branded PSU however it's only 500w.

I'm proberly only going to run 1 card on this PC and if I do want to run 2*GFX cards I guess I could upgrade the PSU in the future.

Also I can't find the specs of the PSU. I ideally need 2*PCI-e 6pin connections

Ordered it this afternoon. Should arrive sometime tomorrow. It best do as I won't be able to sleep till it does.

I'll let yas know how it goes tomorrow

I take it the CPU comes with some thermal paste pre applied to the heatsink or pads or somthing? Or will I need to go out and purchase some more? I'd rather just get it working before I go out and do that.
