CPU: AMD Phenom 2 X6 1100T
GPU: Sapphire ATI RADEON HD6950
PSU: Cosiar 850HX
RAM: 8GB Patriot 1600
MOBO:Asus M4A88T-V
Case: Blac X
Optical: LG DVD 24X
HDD: 7200 Sata II 1T
COOLING: Hyper 212 plus

the major concerns were with the two different types of ram which I satisfied by returning the lower speed and keeping the 1600MHZ and the PSU which was replaced with a certified (SILVER) 850HX
