Hi,
Firstly, I've only built one PC, four years ago so please be gentle 🙂
I'm an average computer user who will be using Office applications, Photoshop, web development tools and some rendering, and of course, playing 3D Games. I've been researching a few options over the past few days and have come up with the following system (from http:/www.ebuyer.co.uk):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Pentium 4 3.0GHZ 800FSB SKT478 512Kb Retail £146.00
Asus P4P800SE S478 USB 2.0 Motherboard £64.48
512 DDR400 PC3200 RAM £53.44
Sapphire 128MB Radeon 9800SE £83.29
Seagate ST3120026AS 120gb 7200rpm Barracuda 7200.7 £62.49
Nec Double Layer 8x Dvd Dual R/rw - Oem Black £53.06
Antec Sx635bii Minitower 350w £53.21
Samtron 76E Black CRT 0.23dpi 1280x1024@ 65hz £68.81
Total £535.00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, is it OK? I.e will all this stuff even work together?
Will I need any other little added extras to connect it all up together? For example, I already know I need a "UK kettle-style" power cable, as one doesn't come with the power supply.
Do I need to purchase a SATA cable to connect the hard drive to the motherboard, or should the ASUS package come with it?
I really appreciate any advice.
Thanks and cheers,
Brandon.
