First Build Help

[RaefD]

Hi guys this is my First build, I am going to get the parts soon, but before I do i would like to check if all of the parts are compatible, I would also like to check if my Psu is big enough, and if my motherboard has all of the needed wires, my specs are listed below...

MBU: MSI 870S-C45 (FX) Mainboard AMD

CPU: AMD FX 4100/ 3.6GHz Quad Core Processor

RAM: Corsair XMS3 4 GB Memory 2 x 2GB RAM

GPU: XFX HD 6790 1GB Graphics Card

PSU: OCZ Technology 500W CoreXStream Series Power Supply

Thank you for your responses

anyone?? I need to check it before my parts go

 

[TheBigTroll]

id change a lot of things. what is your budget and what parts do you not need. i would also like to know which country you are from so that i can make suggestions more easly

 

[Roxas2030]

Do you already have an HDD? If not you need to get one.

Everything looks good so far and yes 500watts is enough for the parts you have listed. All your parts are compatible, good luck.

i have £300 i live in england, i have an operating system and hdd

 

[RaefD]

and I am open to any changes

 

[TheBigTroll]

id get a i3 2120 and a h77ma-g43 motherboard.

no need for CPU cooler

id get a xfx 550w psu instead. has more quality

id get at least a 6870 or a 7850 for good frame rates

 

[RaefD]

its a bit to expensive...

 

[RaefD]

it racks up to approx 400

 

[Roxas2030]

What is your preferred website to purchase from?

 

[TheBigTroll]

you get 1.5x frame rates

 

[RaefD]

ebay.co.uk is my preferred website, and its not a matter of power, its a matter of cost, i don't have that much, im 14

 

[TheBigTroll]

why are there so many 14 year olds on this site. i am one myself

 

[Roxas2030]

What you are running is fine since your budget isn't too big. The 6790 can pull of some good frame rates depending on your settings.

because we have not gone to college or university, the majority haven't even started most of our GCSE's, that's my theory anyway , Thanks though Big Troll, do all of the parts that I have now will work together, without issues?, also are all of the cables needed included?

 

[RaefD]

[TheBigTroll]

No porblemo! yes all the cables are included. your motherboard (if new) should come with 2-4 Sata cables. 1 Sata cable for the optical drive, 1 for the HDD. Look at the mobo pictures to see how many sata cables they provide. Your PSU has a PIC-E 6/2 Pin connector so that supplies your GPU. Everything will work fine as long as they are not DoA. You're good to go.

isnt the cpu, dual core 2.9ghz, quite slow, I will be running stratergy games, and win 7 ultimate 64-bit

 

[RaefD]

Thanks Roxas, I think this thread is done, how would i close it?

 

[TheBigTroll]

the pentium destroys fx in games anyday. even with lower clocks. clocks dont matter anymore. to close thread, just leave it alone and the moderators will close it

 

[RaefD]

ok thanks, but I think im going to stick with my Fx

 

[Roxas2030]
