The machine is primarily for gaming and I already have my 22" monitor which is 1680 x 1050. I also have a mouse and keyboard and speakers.

Would you guys change anything?

 

[sketch145]

I would change the CPU to the 720 for £10 more as this gives you a slightly higher speed stock, and more overclocking headroom thanks to the unlocked multiplier.

 

[reflux]

You've listed DDR2 RAM for a DDR3 motherboard.

All edited. Just over my £800 budget.

Anything else before I click buy?

 

[hawker1986]

I would consider some 120mm fans for the case if you dont have any spares around.

Hmmm, triple channel isn't supported by AM3, what about this stuff?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-116-OC&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1387

 

[ro55o]

I'm not so sure that the AM3 motherboards support triple channel memory, I think it's only i7.

^^Go with what reflux said.

 

[Wiggins]

Yup, AM3 only support dual channel like their previous boards.

Give the Corsair XMS3 a look or the OCZ Platinum

The final check???

Should I click go to checkout?

 

[icey_haj]

NOooooo, that PSU is waaaaaaaay overkill. 500W is more than enough (unless your're planning on a dual card setup)

 

[icey_haj]

Get the BeQuiet! 550W and it'll knock £36.99 off your bill!

 

[danielmp007]

NOooooo, that PSU is waaaaaaaay overkill. 500W is more than enough (unless your're planning on a dual card setup)

Will that mobo take 2 4870's?

 

[icey_haj]

Yes.

 

[danielmp007]

Yes.

I will think about another 4870 in the future in that case then

dP

 

[karl01]

yeah icey haj got a good point get the be quiet 550 wts then that looks like a good set up. let us no how you get on with your build.
