Hi there all those technical know hows, I was wondering if I could steal some advice from yourselfs
I recently had a normal mid price gaming pc, which was really good and reliable**, but one day, it decided that it loved me so much that it decided that it would stop working on me. so instead of repairing it, I have decided that it would be time to give the old thing an over hall. This will be done in the next week,
**ok, it's had some flaws, like it constantly crashed and every time I turned the flaming thing on and the first thing that you could see was a message saying "this processor is not supported, get support for this processor or suffer the consiquences
"
I have been able to salvage the 3 year old psu which can work at 850w, the antec 900 case which is still looking good as new, a dvd writer drive, usb ports, fans and the floppy disk drive (of most things......)
I have done some research into building computers and the parts that will be need for this, and I am confident that
I can build and configure the thing myself. but I just would like to know if the things that I buy on the following list would be good with the parts that I have got currently at this moment in time. I have a budget of £950 and am hoping to build a mid range pc, for some gaming and other bits. I have put a link to each part that I am buying underneath the item to show you what I actually am buying, if you do not understand the name of the part. the link underneath just shows a review from a random website, I really don't care where I get the parts from, as I am desperate for parts from any where, I do not mind if I have to change parts for any other parts from any other maker, in fact, I really don't care. I will not overclock, as this looks to scary.
