The build!


First of I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, ( I R RETARD ) but i thought as this is mainly to do with hardware id stick it in here.
Basically i tend to over look the compatibility of my components when building, its by downfall so i would appreciate it if a couple of you could double check for me:
(Budget build)

RAM: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

G CARD: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

MOBO: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

HDD: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

OPTICAL: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

PROCCESOR: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

PSU: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

S CARD: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

CASE: <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!>

feel like I've forgot something anyway my budget is 500 pound excluding monitor keyboard etc, all of the above comes to around 430 pound so i have some room to bend if some components are not compatible.

Sound card is a waste of money as Mobo has onboard 7.1 Ch HDA anyway,plus Creative well .......must hold back on rant.
Personally I like this build,looks nice and is relatively cheap.
But what do you want it for?
You dont say and its the primary concern when putting a new machine together.
Money could be saved on other components like case and hard drive that could be put to use on better GPU/CPU if performance is what you really want.

Not into gaming or anything like that, just want it to look cool with mid specs ill be mainly video/picture editing. So theres no need to buy the sound card? if not i can upgrade the cpu a little.

Then I see nothing wrong with it.
Plus the Mobo and PSU you have decided on allow for upgrades in future if you want.
By the way I cant believe how cheap Ram is these days.lol

if you're doing that I'd just grab a P35 with integrated graphics or a OK midrange graphics like the 3850.
