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.
