(First Build) Are these components compatible?

Fill out form in sticky. Link in my sig.

Don't need hexacore for gaming. Phenom II x4 is fine.

You'll want a better GPU.

Blue ray drive is pretty useless ATM.
Don't buy a cheap PSU.
AMD doesn't use tri channel RAM, you'll need a dual channel kit.

Link to actual components. There are lots of 1TB WD drives and Benq monitors, which one do you want?

thats the model benq monitor (g2222)
whats a good case and PSU then (im 14 so money is pretty tight)
also would a quadcore 965 or 955 be better than a 1055T?
5770 is just cheap so it appealed to me. a 5970 or 5850 is a bit out of my reach
i have 1500 (Aus) bucks to play with, so any suggestions or alternatives would be nice because i really have no idea.

I would recommend filling out the form in banthracis's sticky.

that sounds hell good, thanks heaps, im glad this got sorted so quickly, its a shame newegg doesn't ship here. will any case do? and is windows 7 good because its only about $100.

Win is OEM edition is fine and is $100 over here in the states.

Case wise, it's worth it to get a good case for superior airflow and space. I've got no idea what companies sell cases in Aus actually so I couldn't really make a suggestion there. So I just left $60 open in the build for it.

Cheap and ok ones are the Antec 300 Illusion (Illusion version has extra fans) and Centurion 5

I personally love the Element G, but it a price premium over the other 2, but has certain features I like, (massive sidefan included, fan controller and SSD mounts).

It's a good idea to get a large case like the HAF 922 for your first build as more space, makes it easier to do your first build (more places to run and hide cables).

awesome, thanks man. im also gonna upgrade my mums computer so we can have a home network. do you think a 210watt PSU will support an asus 1Gb 9800gt? There just on special for about 60 bucks and it'll only be used for light gaming.

the specs of my mum's PC are
CPU-e7300 @ 2.7Ghz
Motherboard-MSI 7525
RAM-4Gb ???
Graphics ''card"-GMA 3100
PSU-210 watts ???
thats all i know as Compaq blocks access to everything.

9800gt requires a 400w PSU
