Well , hello there. My names Ryan. All my other computers I have owned in the past I have bought as a setup from a local shop - and I beleive its high tide I built one myself.
Before we begin , I am not a hardware techie , but I do know a thing or two . So do tone down your lingo , but not the the extent where a canine could understand.
Anyway , this is my first ever computer build. I've never built a computer before so be gentle , there will probably be a few compatibility issues with my first component choices and / or I will miss a specific component out - but thats what your here for .
I am simply building the tower and components inside , all peripherals , including monitor have already been purchased . And I love my monitor 22" pebble , with 2ms response time and HD ready *shuts up*
Onto the juicy stuff.
I am making this computer as primarily a gaming rig , and something for me to do college work on / web design work and general surfing.
Below are the components I have chosen at current;
( Here we go! )
CPU - Intel Quad core 2.4
GPU - Nvidea 8800 GT 512MB
RAM - Corsair 2GB kit 800mhz Ram
HDD - Samsung Spinpoint 500 GB SATA HDD - 16MB cache
Case - Antec sonita III 500 qatt PSU
CD/DVD - CD Drive 20x
Mobo - Help me? =]
CPU Cooler - Zalman CPU cooler
So there you have it. A novice's attempt at a full tower.
Heres my questions then -
Also before I forget , I already have an OS.
And a budget of around 700 pounds , or 1400$
Regards - Ryan

So there you have it. A novice's attempt at a full tower.
Heres my questions then -
■What Mobo would work with all of those components?
■Im assuming that the case has its own power supply so I would'nt have to buy it seperatly - right ? [ novice ]
■This post contains all components needed for a full working tower?
■What do you think of the main components - i.e. graphics card and CPU
■Will this computer fulfil my needs [ i.e. anything from web browsing to high end games ]
Also before I forget , I already have an OS.
