Right basically I was wondering if someone could help me here. So I have found a list of parts I wish to buy and then put together, I was wondering if someone could check to see if there all compatible with each other as i don't trust my own judgement. Also i've only every worked on old atx machines, so i'm not very sure about modern machines. Heres the list of URL's. Case http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/289198/the... Motherboard http://www.ebuyer.com/product/121169 DVD RW http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129527 Hard Drive http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131214 Graphics Card http://www.ebuyer.com/product/140582 Sound Card see motherboard RAM http://www.ebuyer.com/product/116755 If I need something else, please point out and recommend other things please? also I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy parts in bulk for cheaper? Thanks. I know this is posted in the wrong area, but ack well.

I don't see a CPU or Power Supply on your list. Life's more painless for the brainless.

There's no CPU or PSU listed. And why would you get an SLi capable motherboard, then buy an ATI video card for it? (and a weak one at that). The HD3450 is NOT a gaming card so if that's one of the purposes for this machine, I suggest you select a different card. http://www.legitreviews.com/article...

Hows about MOBO - Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 £60 (136363) Proc - Intel C2D E2180 £52 (132064) Graphics - Powercooler X1950Pro £81 (132535) (PCI-e /512Mb/DDR3) RAM - OCZ (2x1Gb) £30 (116755) DVD - LiteOn Sata £25 (127442) DVD+-RW inc Nero HDD - Maxtor 250GB SataII £36 (131214) Case - Antec NSK4480 £52 (130947) inc Earthwatts 380w PSU I have put the eBuyer quick links in brackets. In total comes to £390(inc VAT) and you can get free delivery from ebuyer. If you want to save some cash get a mobo with integrated graphics and ditch the x1950Pro. eg - GA-G33-S2L (139787) for £60 You can always add hard-drives later as you fill them and the Gigabyte boards *should* allow you to overclock the processor if you wish. Good luck.
