New Build Advice

[jonno208]

Hi,
I am building a new computer, I have picked out all the parts. Does anyone have any opinions or improvements on it, while keeping around the same over all price. Especially this

These are all the parts, it comes out to €544 excluding windows. I was also wondering if it is required to place 2 sticks of ram at minimum or can I use only 1 4gb stick?

I would not recommend that motherboard as I had the same one and it died on me after three days but it doesn't seem like there are too many options available from that site. If you go AMD you should at least try to get a 970 if it's available.

Otherwise everything looks good - maybe put a bit more into the GPU and get a 6850 but that's all I would recommend.

I couldnt see any other motherboards on the two websites that I can buy off. But if anyone can find one on www.komplett.ie/Komplett/catalog/ZKB_01COM/15_MOBO/default.aspx or http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/773/xx/xx/103/9/criteresn.html that is under 100€ it would be a big help.

On the GPU this is not suposed to be a heavy gaming pc and the 6770 is 35% off right now so it is a good deal and getting the 6850 would increase he price allot.
