Im making my first build sometime next month, planning everything now so im ready, I have a budget total of around £700 i have decided upon the following parts:
All Prices Inc. VAT
Processor: Amd Phenom II Quad Core 955 3.2ghz BE (AM3) - £181.87
Motherboard: Asus M4A79-T Deluxe 790FX DDR3 SATA (AM3) - £131.04
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Two Gaming Tower Case (Black) - £94.55
Power Supply: Coolermaster Silent Pro Modular 700W Power Supply - £90.99
Cooler: Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler (AM3) - £34.99
Fan Cooler: Noctua NF-P12 Vortex-Control 120mm - £17.24
Memory: Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 10666C9 1333MHz - £53.99
Hard Drive: Seagate BARRACUDA 7200.11 1TB 32MB SATA/300 - £74.08
Operating System: Windows 7 Release Candidate (64 bit)
However im wondering if the wattage on my psu is suitable, with it being my first build i know very little of in depth specs, hopefully that will change overtime. I will be adding a 4870 X2 gfx card about a month after that, until then im sticking with my old 4850, and probably another couple of months later a second 4870 X2. I definately want a modular PSU im just wondering if i have made the right choice with the Coolermaster and whether it will power my hardware efficiently, and whether or not there is a better option out there for me.
Just out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in build pictures, or shall i not bother, i'd probably need abit of help from you guys as its my first build. I have got MOUNTING SCREWS written on my fridge just so i remember that.
