new build

[dmwr]

I am looking to make a new computer and am looking for a second opinion/improvement:
Graphics Card http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Graphics-ATI/ATIHD5400Series/Asus/EAH5450SILENTDI.1GD3LP.html
RAM: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Memory-PCAndLaptop/DDR3-PC3-10666/1333MHz/Novatech/RAM-313334.html
CPU: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Processors/IntelCorei3Andi5/Intel/BX80616I3530.html
System Board: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Motherboards/Intel1156H55And57Fori3,i5Andi78Series/Gigabyte/GA-H55M-UD2H.html
Case: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Cases/Cases/Novatech/ACHILLES.html

Also would the CPU come with its own fan or would i need to buy one for it myself?

Personally i would go for an ATX board rather than the Micro ATX board; especially considering your buying a mid tower case. Dont forget you'll need a PSU too.

Yes the CPU will come with the Stock Cooler as long as you buy the Retail one, not the OEM version.

So would this be a better system board? http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Motherboards/Intel1156P55ChipsetFori78Series/Asus/90-MIBA30-G0EAY0KZ.html

The case already comes with a PSU so thats already sorted

IMO, this would be better, it has more features at a lower cost.

Btw, it's best to stay away from generic power supplies and get a branded one of optimum stability, this is especially important if you plan on overclocking

[Pullen]

what are you looking to use it for?

[dmwr]

Nothing much, just surfing the internet and playing some recently released games on med/high with good frame rates.

thats bit of a contradiction..

not much.. only play games as best as possible

so youre looking at a gaming machine..

i would recommend the amd 1050t with the msi matx 890gx mobo with maybe either 2x 5770 or a 5850 chuck it in a antec 300 case with a corsair tx650 or an ocz stealth extreme 700w/ xigmatek 700w add generic disc drive and hard drive to suit. windows 7 is a must these days..

sounds good to me..

tbh what you speccd isnt up to much.

state a budget and we'll see what we can do for you

A few comments on H55 chipset with i3 530 processor. This is really a home cinema and general solution with pretty good 1080P graphics onboard, or on-chip to be more exact. A HD 5450 graphics card probably wouldn't bring much more to the table. The P55 chipset supports crossfire AFAIK with i3, whereas H55 doesn't.
