Matrix890 :

Can not access due to cookies needing to be turned on could you use Pc part Picker instead?

MauveCloud · Sep 14, 2013

That link doesn't work for others, because it apparently relies on cookies stored on your computer (but not ours). I suggest doing one of the following instead:
1. List your parts in the text of your message (copy&paste from your cart might work)
2. Take a screenshot of your cart and post that.
3. Pick out the parts using http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ instead and post the permalink or BBCode.

What about a GPU? and the list is not much help but it looks ok I think. If you could use pc part picker that would be a big help.

ssimpss :

Yeah I'll use that

ssimpss · Sep 14, 2013

Matrix890 :

Ok the RAM is no use you need 240 pin DDR3 at no more the 1866Mhz secondly you do not have a Graphics card of any sort lastly I don't think that case can except a 200mm fan anywhere unless you plan on putting on an external radiator for a water cooling loop

MauveCloud · Sep 14, 2013

I have to advise against that Coolmax PSU. A select few of their 750W+ psus are good, but the rest are in tier 5 here:
http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

and yeah, the memory is a problem too. SO-DIMMs are for laptops only.

ssimpss · Sep 14, 2013

MauveCloud :

A 750w PSU is total overkill 500w even with a GPU would be more than enough

MauveCloud · Sep 14, 2013

I didn't mean to imply that the 750W would be needed, just that those were the only Coolmax brand psus that were considered any good. 500W from a tier 1, 2, or 3 product line should be fine, unless there are other considerations.

I also just noticed that the OP selected an A6-6400K cpu, which requires socket FM2, while the motherboard linked is socket AM3+, so those won't work together.

Edit: Matrix890, the incompatibilities might be why you couldn't find many of the components desired on pcpartpicker, since the compatibility filter would have hidden them.

Why don't you fill in a copy of the template:

Then we can help you better with component choice.

Man I really need to get up to speed with AMD parts again a missed that big time sorry Matrix good catch MauveC

Matrix890 · Sep 15, 2013

ok guys so i went to pc part picker and customizes this pc so tell me if i should do anything to it and dont tell me monitor because im buying one from a different website http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1DTxN

Matrix890 :

Do you need the network adaptor as the mobo has ethernet on board?

Second with windows installed you will only have about 100Gb of storage up to you. other than that if thats your budget maxed + the monitor every thing looks good.

MauveCloud · Sep 15, 2013

Look again at the tiered list of power supplies I posted a link to before. Raidmax is another tier 5 brand!

MauveCloud :

yeah but is 15.99 if it breaks who cares. I would not touch it with barge pole but needs must and its less than 20 bucks.

Edit: due to your edit mauve nice rig for very little cash if you can Matrix go for it.

MauveCloud · Sep 15, 2013

Wrong!! If you get a bad quality psu, it could ruin the entire rest of the system when it goes down!

ssimpss · Sep 15, 2013

MauveCloud :

Even these days?

MauveCloud · Sep 15, 2013

A lot of those Tier 5 psus lack important protection circuitry like over voltage protection and over current protection.
It might seem like low probability, but are you willing to gamble nearly $600 worth of other components on that? I wouldn't be.

Matrix890 · Sep 15, 2013

I'm kind on a budget of 650 let me try choosing a grade a cpu

ssimpss · Sep 15, 2013

MauveCloud :

It has been years since I was down at this end of the market. The last build I did that was less than $1500 was 3 years ago. OK that was a tower + monitor ect ect but I just thought things might have changed. I guess not man some of these companies love to s*** on the little guys
