I want to build my own cheap pc: are these specs any good?

I want to build a cheap pc, and found the following items online. Do you think this would be an appropriate list of parts, or could a better fit be found for the same cost - I can't afford any more! Will there be any compatibility problems? Barebones: Asus Terminator3 M2NC51PV, Sok AM2, DDR2 667/800, PCI-E (x16), SATA II, Silver (£97) video card: 256mc 8400gs PCI-E (x16) mem 800hz GDDR2, GPU 459 mhz 16 streams - (£28) CPU: AMD Athlon 64 4600 + Windsor dual core 2.4 GHZ 2 x 512 cache (£41) Hard Drive: 250 GB Maxtor STM3250310AS DiamondMax 21, SATA II, 7200 rpm, 8MB Cache, 11 ms (£30) Disk Drive: Asus DRW 201451 20x DVDR (£16.44) Memory: 2GB Corsair Twin XM52 DDR 2 PC2 5400 (667) 240 pin non ECC unbuffered CAS 444 12 (£28)

  1. Yea thats fine... Wheres your power supply?
  2. Power Supply, Sound card, Extra fans,
  3. try here for a better price http://ctidirect.co.uk/
  4. looks cool, but it depends on what you want to use it for. May i suggest www . 3adl . com. Don't trust the site, talk to them on the phone. they are quite good. They do have some cool stuff.
  5. Mobo is to expensive, I would go for a R780 based and spend more on CPU (5000+). Video - go for one with DDR3 and crossfire. A R780 mobo will have its own video out and you can add a 3470 card later if you want. DDR2 OCZ 6400 2GB is under £30 now and faster.
  6. Very similar to the Budget Pc build in June 2008 PC-Pro magazine. They got the parts from www.scan.co.uk. + video guide at www.pcpro.co.uk/links/buildapc
  7. they are ok for disc drive i like the http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16827135156 it rocks and for harddrive you should get a seagate barracuda 300gig and for proccessor i like intel core 2 duo e8600 but if your going cheap mabey sumthin like core 2 duo e8400 so you can save some money, i just built a fast as hell computer with newegg.com they are amazing you should check them out and email me your wishlist with a price range and i will tell you how to improve as for compatability problems you should ask my uncle he runs veraxis networks you should google it
  8. Try this place it is cheep and a very good place to buy computer parts. www.aria.co.uk Based in manchester. Also on that system you want no less than a 450 to 500 Watt PSU. I build all my own systems from aria and sell them on and make really good proffit from it as it is cheep to buy from. c.smith697@yahoo.co.uk
