what you think, all gonna work ok? cheers
 
Indeed I do.

Going down the list, the RAM is good, the mobo is good if you aren't overclocking. I'm a bit out of date on graphics cards so I don't know if this is good or not, but it might be worth looking at an ATi 3800 Pro for the same price. You might even step up to an 8800 GT with the savings from the CPU. Home Premium is the one to get if you want Vista and the Zen is a good case. Maxtor used to be terrible but they may have improved since Seagate bought them. If it was be buying I'd get a 7200.11 anyway. :p
 
yer i used most of those parts before, just need imput on psu really. used that case not long ago, was good. i thought the 9600's must have been pretty good, on par'ish with 8800gt's...no?

(£138.64) this instead of 9600? im thinking so with the saving from cpu
 
Dude, relax. Bumping your own thread after 5 minutes is considered rather rude.

The 8800 GT takes a single 6-pin PCI-e connector from the PSU.

As for your PSU, there seem to be different revisions of the PSU with different current outputs. Look at your PSU and check the +12 V rail. You want about 20 A.
 
i'm not bumping, purely just adding more info, if i had thought about it at the same time i would have done it in one post.

+12v1 = 18a
+12v2 = 18a
-12v = 0.8a
+12v total = 27a

any good?

cheers
 
Those numbers are a bit curious. +12 V total comes to 324 W. It seems unlikely that +5 V and +3.3 V both come to only 50 W.

At its face value it's powerful enough to do the job. The CPU and graphics card you have selected are relatively light on power consumption, especially when not overclocked.
