would this set up work?

[paul_sturg]

i was after building a half decent gaming pc for college (to run all of the "programmes") for under £500. i made this:

im just wondering, would this all work together allright? btw, the final total is just under £500 including vat and delivery.
thanks, paul.

Faster graphics for a few quid more:

If you want to do some gaming, I would strongly suggest you get a better graphics card (and one that isn't AGP).

How does this look?

Also, will you be needing a copy of windows or a monitor?

that set up looks fine, i'll think about it.

nice builds except ocz gold i hear a lot of those turn up dead

My pc im using now (sig ) my ocz's are working like a treat. it was just a early batch that was faulty they should be fine now ..

go for andi's spec would be a vast improvement over your spec and your mismatch of non compatible components will not work .. ie AGP graphics

the AM3 socket is suggested to last longer and you get a much better spec for your money especially when 1156 is going to be wiped out in a couple of months .
