WILL THESE COMPONENTS WORK TOGETHER?!?!
Here is my component list:

AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 955 Black Edition "125W Edition" 3.20GHz (Socket AM3) £89.99
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 Single Slot 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Stalker & AVP Games £89.99
CoolerMaster Elite 430 Windowed Case (With power supply) £64.99
Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H AMD 880G (Socket AM3) microATX DDR3 Motherboard £56.98
OCZ Special OPS 4gb (2x2gb) DDR3 PC3-12800CB 1600mhz Dual Channel Kit £34.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500gb SATA-II 16mb Cache-OEM £30.98
Sony Optiarc AD-5260S 24x DVD+RW SATA ReWriter £15.98

I need to know whether the PC will work when fully complete. Do all these components work with each other? This is my first build and I don't want to mess up the components as I am short on money.

Note: This PC is for Gaming.

Many Thanks,
WLumby

The GTX460 is faster than a 5770 also - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/180?vs=172

also, for £7 more, replace the graphics card with this:
GTX 460 1GB
2x molex to PCIe power adapter

(the power adapter is needed because the graphics card doesnt come with one)

it'll be WAY better for games:

*edit*

(i dont know how good the lepa W series is, but i know the bequiet is pretty good

the only thing i could think that makes the Lepa W-Series better than the BeQuiet is the braided cables

but the changed components are better than your original spec :confused:

shamzzz · 12 Sep 2011 at 19:41

But they've spec'd you a better system!

WLumby · 12 Sep 2011 at 19:59

Please just tell me whether my current components will work together, notice it is underlined in the OP! I'll consider changing my components when I know whether or not the current ones work together!

well geez, calm down :rolleyes:

yes, your components will work together but you can get better performance for your money
