Hey guys!
So for the past couple of weeks I've been trying to compile a list of parts for my first budget AMD gaming build. I have a vague idea of what I want and have made a almost complete list of the parts that i will need. But, since this is my first build I just need some peace of mind from somebody that this should, in theory, work!
Here are the parts that I have found:
Zalman Z11 Plus Midi Tower Case : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zalman-Z11-Plus-Installation-Anti-Vibration/dp/B007C008L2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1V496TEUO7Q4I&coliid=I16SZUR5WNRQRJ
Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard : http://www.amazon.co.uk/M5A97-R2-0-Motherboard-PCI-Express-Flashback/dp/B008RPYB0U/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1V496TEUO7Q4I&coliid=I2JRBN4E8VGPPZ
AMD FX6300 Black Edition: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socket/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1V496TEUO7Q4I&coliid=I2OMYDAZIVC3AC
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B004CRSM4I/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1V496TEUO7Q4I&coliid=I1Y2OOXDX3BI47
Western Digital 1TB hard drive: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-internal-Hard-Drive/dp/B0088PUEPK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1V496TEUO7Q4I&coliid=I19TRJ24QUEFMK
Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II OC Nvidia Graphics Card: http://www.amazon.co.uk/GeForce-DirectCU-Graphics-DisplayPort-Surround/dp/B0098VKIRC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1V496TEUO7Q4I&coliid=I23G4IHL17L0ZZ
Operating system will be windows 7 home premium 64 bit.
So my questions are:
What power supply will need to power this?
Is everything compatible?
How will this run games? (over-clocking will happen I'm sure!)
Thankyou for reading, and any answers will be greatly appreciated!
(By the way, I have a little over £500 to spend)
