Upgrading My PC

Sadly there are very few boards which come with IDE these days which will be a good match for your 3770K.

Sometimes the adapters can be a bit 'hit and miss', other times they can be fine. Just read reviews before you buy and make sure you get a decent one.
 
In the long run it may just be worth getting a large SATA HDD to stick them on to, you wouldn't have to buy one immediately, but something to think about for the future.
 
Ok, for the time being i'll stick with my IDE and consider in the long run to buy SATA drive, but since it will cost money, pay-day has gone :)

This is what i'll plan to buy, again your final thoughts are welcome.

4.Graphics - overclockers has this at £100 so i'm going for a bit cheaper - save money as it's made by Sapphire

Your final thoughts please..
 
All looks OK to be really. Try to buy it from one place though, it'll be so much easier.
 
Yes they would work, just be aware with that CPU you're not going to be overclocking.
