I've put myself something together, and I'd just like someone to check if it would all work/fit/be compatible together or looks alright before I get it... I've read all the stickys and a lot of the help and I'd just like some checking

Thanks

ahh ok sorry, thought that might have been best. Here it is...

There are some other bits but they don't really matter, (speakers etc.)
And I'm not really going to be using this for gaming, so I didn't choose an expensive graphics card or anything, but that won't have any bad effects will it apart from less fancy graphics?

Thanks again helpy helpertons

Thanks BigDom, just had a look and they were all really good recommendations. Changed everything to what you said.

However I'm not really sure what to do about the graphics card. I retreived my shopping list again today and the graphics card has now gone. There's only two of the 5 NVIDIA PCI links working :confused:

The 7900 Series which are all too expensive, and the MX & FX Series, which look a bit pootripe and are quite cheap, I could spend a bit more on one. Would an ATI graphics card be any good? Or do you need a CrossFire board to use one?
