Need help with first time build

[kalmara]

So I decided to build my own pc. I want to use it for gaming at lowish resolutions, around 1280x1024, but on high settings. I have a problem though, I have no idea if the parts I chose will work with each other, or even if they would fit together. Heres the list of parts:

Case: Antec Three Hundred
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=ECE1535609

Power supply: TRUST 520W PRO PSU PW-5550
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfullop.asp?productcode=MMEB100734#spec

Motherboard: P5N-D
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=ECE1455911#spec

Graphics Card: RADEON HD4870 512MB
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfullop.asp?productcode=MMEM310665#spec

CPU: Intel Pentium E6300 / 2.8 GHz processor
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfullft.asp?productcode=ECE1735642#spec

Hard disk: MAXTOR DIAMONDMAX22 320GB SATA 3.5 7200RPM 16MB
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=MME2752321#spec

DVD Drive: HP Promo 16X SATA SuperMulti LS Drive
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=ECE1423086#spec

RAM: DDR2 667MHz 1GB 200pin SODIMM Unbuffered CL5
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=ECE1441625#spec

So if anyone could look over the parts and tell me if they could work together without any problems I would be very thankful.

1) get a PSU from antec, corsair, PCP&C or OCZ.

2) get a WD or samsung HDD.

3) you want 240pin DDR2 dimms, not 200pin DDR2 SODIMMs.

Ok, thanks for the quick response, and apart from the items you listed, everything else will work ok?

 

[Helloworld_98]

yep

try this if you can http://www.elara.ie/shop/viewcart.asp

One more thing, I'm on a tight budget which is restricting a lot of my choices, the PSU and HDD I chose fit into my budget nicely. I know those other brands are generally better, but if I did stick with what I have would I run into any problems?

 

[obsidian86]

guess not

 

[obsidian86]

you could gat a few things cheaper on your build but i dunno if ebuyer delivers to ireland

Actually what about this PSU:
Antec Basiq Power 350W ATX 12v PSU
http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=ECE1259666

Is that enough power?

 

[obsidian86]

you could check use this http://www.antec.outervision.com/PSUEngine but add 20% on your total

An Antec Basiq 350W doesn't have a chance of powering a 4870. You'll need at least a QUALITY 500W PSU for that. It looks like your PSU options are pretty limited on that site. The Antec Basiq series aren't the highest quality units, but this would be the cheapest PSU I'd even consider for a 4870:

BP550 BASIQ 550 WATT 120MM FAN CONTINOUS POWER ATX MODULAR

This would be a much better option:

EARTHWATTS EA-650 UK 80 PLUS CONTINUOUS POWER

I think I'm gonna go with the first Basiq PSU you said. But I'm a little over my budget. Does anyone know where I could cut down the cost a little bit? Maybe the motherboard?

 

[Helloworld_98]

^ yeah, drop the mobo down to the P5QL SE, infact I have no idea why you went with an nvidia mobo and ATi GPU.

Ok I decided on my final build, thanks to everyone who helped!
