Popped over to OC shop at Newcastle today with mate - My aim was to get a case and PSU. -- I had a list of 8 cases which have been reccommended on post's I have read on nearly all forums on here.

First thing-I was bit dissapointed to find not one case on my list was on display - so helped by a very nice young lady ;) on desk we went through my list and finally narrowed it down to two - Both had the inside's I was looking for and size but I liked out side of one and mate the other so I tossed a coin and came home with InWin 666 - I lost by way - not keen on front- and now I can't even remember what the other case was.

Second item was a no brainer - Corsair CX500 Modular and bonus it was on offer.

So now more intense reading on here for MB - GFX - CPU - I am not a gamer so PC is for web use and video and photo's but do want future proof.

I thought my old PC was future proof with Intel Q6600 quad and Asus P5k and 6800 GTX but seems I can't find a motherboard for socket 775 that will support USB3 - So given myself a £600 budget give or take for a fast PC.

Don't anyone dare come up with 775 motherboard :eek:
 
Potty.

Yes playback so far- I am getting 28gig of video off my car cam a week - take's 30-40 min to download it by USB -

Doomedspeed.

case is fine for my needs -- At shop I could buy a case - pay for it - open it and if didn't like it they would take it back and refund money - I could do that a few times but each time it would take two day's for refund came back ??? Odd really but there you go. I can understand them not wanting loads of open box's.

Also I feel I need a new PC as bored with this one after 6 yrs so this will be my winter project - probably just to prove to myself I can still do things at my age.

For your needs I can't really see you needing to go any higher than this to be honest:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Toshiba (7K3000.D) 3TB SATA 6GB/s 64MB Cache - OEM (DT01ACA300) HDD £89.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £86.99
1 x AMD A8-5600K Black Edition 3.60GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Quad Core Processor **FREE SIMCITY PC GAME** (AD560KWOHJBOX) £71.99
1 x Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PV38G160C9K) £53.99
1 x ASRock FM2A75M-DGS AMD A75 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £52.99
1 x LG GH24NSB0 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £16.99
Total : £384.34 (includes shipping : £9.50).



Large 3TB HDD, I'm assuming you need a lot of storage. Could go to a 256GB SSD if you felt it was required.

Thank's Potty

I will snip and save the Intel one as not AMD fan - no idea why but there you go.

Will double check again when ready to buy.
