my first build

[steveym09]

Hi guys I hope someone can take a look at my build as I dont know If Ive compatible parts or not. My budget is £500 - £600 and Im looking to build a pc for playing games like Company of Heroes and CODMW2, also to run software like adobe products.

Case - I havent found one yet as Im looking to find a good deal on a CoolerMaster Wave

I could probably use my hard drive I use now but Id like to upgrade to a 1TB one, not too fussed on Blu ray player just maybe a multi-region dvd player. Im not knowledgable about computer components like RAM and cpus Duo/Quad cores so any input or suggestions is appreciated. thank you for anyones time

socket 775 is old and has no potential for future upgrades.

For your budget i recommend socket AM3 for AMD. You could get a Phenom II quad core CPU and 4GB of DDR3 ram (2X2GB).

Get this video card instead: XFX Radeon HD4850 512MB XXX Edition PCI-Express Gr - Misco.co.uk

I used that site cuz you used it, i don't know if its good or not.

And as for your power supply, it looks quite shoddy, i would look at a better brand (Antec, Corsair, etc.) Look at the PSU guide at the top of this forum.

And fix your links so its easier to browse.

It's also better to buy all your stuff from the one site, that way you save on shipping.

I'll put a build together for you in about an hour, once I get to college.
