Do you have a link to that case please? For less than a tenner! :P

Have you tried www.ebuyer.com

They have the best prices!

It looks good, but for the CPU I'd consider an E6** series, something like the E6300, I don't know how much they are, Less than £100! :) OC's like a dream too!

For the GPU, I'd look at something else, unless you don't play games?

If you weren't that bothered about having DX10 then a 7 series card would be great... I've got a 7950GT for sale, for £100, if you're interested...

The RAM is a good price, but for a little more you can get 2GB of Corsair XMS2 RAM, which is great!

Hope this helps :)
 
Ah, isnt the cpu any good? i liked the look of it, as i only have 300 quid budget you see...
and the case is now 10 quid...
and is that gfx no good? gotta be better than my 64mb mx 440...

all of ebuyer..

But i am fretting that the parts wont work togther.
 
Yeah, the CPU isn't bad, but I think that an E6300 would be better...
What do you think about the RAM too?

Do you have a link to the case please?

It isn't bad, bit it's far from great, I wouldn't expect to game on it, but, Yeah, it's better than the one you have at the moment, let me know if you're interested in the 7950GT :)

If you can link us to them all, we'll be able to tell you if they're all compatable :)
 
I understand its not great but compared with

1GHZ AMD
384mb ram
30gb hdd
64mb gfx

and no i cant really afford another 100. thanks very much though.
remember this is just a base pc and i will buy better at a later date.

thanks
 
Yeah, you're right, it is better :P

Ok sure, You're welcome...I'd get the Corsair RAM, it's around the same price and cheaper :)
 
so would i, but its 5400 and i think the motherboard only allows 5300 which is the other ram. :P
let me know what you think, and yes they should all work? because i would hate to buy it all and it not connect up. thanks so much so far.
 
hmm i have chcked and double checke,d i think its all compatible, but 2nd (experienced) opinion matters, i wont order (as it is my mums xmas money) until i am 100%.
 
I am not a new gamer, any games id play would be old anyways, i will upgrade when i have settled with this though. But the parts will work together?
 
The motherboard I'm wary of, if you don't have a relatively recent BIOS then you won't be able to boot with that CPU.

A Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L is a good board if you can find one in stock.

It all looks good, but the only two things I'd replace are the RAM (get the Corsair) and the graphics card, get a mid 7 series card, like the 7600 :)

No, E4500 performs better than E6300
