I know you get loads of these threads but I wouldn't mind anyone casting there eyes over this one!

Im trying to keep it as cheap as poss, just a budget PC with casual gaming.

Crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600
Samsung 500GB SpinPoint F3 7200rpm 16MB Sata

This lot comes to just under £400

Thanks for your help!

Random gray PSU is not going to be good. Get a good PSU, something like the corsair 400CX isnt too much and you wont risk it blowing up on you.

Asus AM3 AMD NF630A DDR3 ATX
AMD CPU Athlon II X3 435 95W AM3 1.5MB 2900MHZ

Negative on board: it's just an AM2 with DDR3 slot for RAM (HT limitation, PCIex16 gen 1.0/1.1, etc)

Depending on prices: Rana 440?

Off Ebuyer UK 446 GBP

Hi

Would this motherboard be a better option...

Asus AM3 AMD 770 DDR3 ATX

As I said I am trying to keep it as cheap as poss!

Reply to nezbutz

That would really depend on how much is selling but that MSI 770 would suffice

The Asus AM3 AMD 770 DDR3 ATX is only £15 quid more, so I can afford that.
Cheers for your help!
