Hey all

This would be my first build so i need some help

I've picked some items to build my first gaming pc
What i would like to know is have i missed anything out for it to run? (i have windows7)

Using these items:
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6850 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Radon 690a AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4100 3.60GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked Bundle (8gig memory)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-364-WD
Antec 300 Three Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case - Black
Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler (Socket Intel LGA 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AMD AM2 / AM3 / AM2+ / AM3+)
OcUK Swift 650W V2 Silent Power Supply
Samsung SH-D163C/BEBE SATA 16x DVD-ROM (Black) - OEM
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound (3.5g)

If i was to build that would it be a good gaming pc? and would everything work together?

I only have £650 to spend and all this comes out at £625

Thank you
Rob

The bundle you selected already has a cooler. So you done need the Antec 620.

But you can do much better with your money if you go Sandybridge.

adding that takes me over my budget

See above.

You can enter the voucher code of CMdouble and get £20 off the case+psu combination - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18347004

Making the total closer to £600

AMD Bulldozer FX chips are awful compared to whats available from Intel.

Please take the good advice given, but whatever, do not buy...OcUK Swift 650W V2 Silent Power Supply

Its even possible to get a GTX560ti in the top range of your budget,

So with the £20 off, its about £640 delivered.
