New PC

[X-Adz-X]

Hey everyone,

I've had an AMD 4600+ bundle, which I got from Novatech a few years ago. However, I am now ready to upgrade once again.

I already have 4GB DDR2 RAM, an XFX HD4850 512MB, I shall be importing these into the new system.

However, the case I have now isn't that great. It's cheap and horrid. So I've compiled a little shopping list of thems. Tell me what you think?

Bare in mind, I want to keep this as cheap as possible yet still be covered for a while. I only use my PC for Facebook, Internet and occasional gaming, such as Crysis Warhead, GTA IV, ARMA2.

Great choice on the hard drive.

Mobo is great, I have one myself and pretty much one of the best AM2+ boards as you still want to use DDR2.

For the rest, if you give me your budget, I might be able to spec you something better. That case won't be great quality and neither will the PSU for that price. Remember, the PSU is the one thing you shouldn't skimp on in a new build.

The processor was a good choice. Slightly outperformed by the Phenom II x2 550 (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Processors/AMDAthlonX2AndX4/AMD/HDZ550WFGIBOX.html)/555 in gaming but it really is your choice on that one, as they're both very similar.

Just checked out the prices, and that Nova case doesn't look the best. If you spend an extra ~£40, you could get the brilliant Antec 300 (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Cases/Cases/Antec/0761345-08300-3.html), along with a more expensive but way way more reliable corsair PSU (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/PowerSupplies/Corsair/CMPSU-400CXUK.html).
