Hi
I am looking into building a new PC for my parents whose old DELL system is coming to the end of its life.
So far I have come up with the following:
CPU: AMD ATHLON II X2 255 http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=11596
Mobo: ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 AMD870 AM3 http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=12631
RAM: KINGSTON HYPERX 4GB (2X2GB) DDR3-1600 KIT CL9 http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=11848
PSU: SEASONIC M12II BRONZE 520W 80PLUS POWER SUPPLY http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=14915
Optical: LG CH10LS20 10X BLU-RAY COMBO http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=14286
OS: Windows 7-64
I will then re-use the following from the existing DELL PC:
HDDs: 1.Samsung HD16OJJ/P 160GB for system
2. Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green
GPU: ATI HD4300/4500 series
Monitor: Not sure what it is, but it doesn't need replacing
The only thing I am needing to add now is the case which I am totally unsure about.
Preferrably I'd want one from the site in the links above if anyone could suggest a good one from there. Note that I am in New Zealand if you're going to be recomending parts from other sites. I can always look around myself if a part from a US site, newegg for example, is suggested to make things easier for you guys, this is no problem.
Also any advice on the other parts would be great too if anyone feels I am going wrong somewhere. I'm pretty sure all parts are compatible, but I may have over looked something.
For your information, this PC will only be used as a general use/multimedia PC. No gaming at all.
Cheers
