hi,
I am currently in the process of building myself a new computer but im slightly unsure about compatibility of components, This is my first time building a computer completely from scratch and due to my budget I cant afford to purchase incorrect components. I know what I want im just unsure of compatibility, below is a list of what im hopping to put together, me and my dad have had a look and it looks ok to us but if anyone have the time could they give this a quick look to confirm that it will all work nicely together.
CPU - Intel Pentium 4 650 (3.4 GHZ)
MOBO - Abit AW8 Intel 955x
CPU cooler - Thermaltake Blue Orb II
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 200GB 2000JS
Graphics - Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 GTO (GX-118-SP)
RAM - (Advise needed)
Ok, that's all of the main components im hoping to use, but I am unsure of what type of RAM is needed. I would like 1GB and I don't mind if its a 1GB stick or 2 512 sticks. I have around £70 to spend but I can probably spend a little more if needed. I am pretty comfortable with all the other stuff needed, I have already got the case and PSU and I have a few other things such as CD drives lying around the house.
Any useful feedback would be great appreciated
Thanks -Magnumwolf-
