Ebuyer pc hardware opinions.
(also I couldnt find the pc build category)

Hi, I've just put together a build on ebuyer for £450 and what your opinions on anything I could change for better performance/save some money, in turns of budget I am at the limit now, so no changes which would hurt the budget please.

Also wanted to make sure that everything will be compatible and such.

I recommend getting the 7870 GHz Edition for a little bit more money, as it will perform better. Also, if you ever want to OC your CPU, get the Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard for about $50 USD more; In my opinion, it is always worth overclocking. However, if you're really pressed for money, the motherboard that you've chosen will be fine.

So exactly what I said minus the OCable motherboard... again, if OP doesn't want to OC ever, then they can stick with that. If they do, they should get the Asrock Extreme3 990FX.
