Good except three things.

#1: Power supply, for 20$ USD dollars, your getting a peice of crap. You defiantly want a good brand name OCZ, Antec, Forton, PCP&C ect.

#2: Motherboard, Asus has proven themselves as a bad manafactuer for motherboards for AMD processor. I would look at the DFI Lanparty SLI-DR.

#3: XFX are a horrible video card manafactuer. Try to get the same card from eVGA, BFG or Leadtek.

Thanks for your tip.s Anyone else see other improvements that could be made anywhere else?

For the Power supply what do you think could go well with this:

I am willing to get them from the following websites (due to thinking of buying from these):

www.ebuyer.com
www.micro-world.co.uk
www.microdirect.co.uk
www.specialreserve.co.uk

Thanks

About the power supply. Don't get an ebuyer one because I got one and it caused restarts and stuff, because they really are the worst power supplies you can buy. Get a real brand.

 

[Amidamaru]

Thanks people.

and the rest of these specs are pretty decent yeah? I dont wanna get too low of specs and i think the x2 processor seems pretty cool.

 

[PZEROFGH]

its all good but i would rather get a seagate barracuda hdd rather then a western digital but thats my opinon

 

[Amidamaru]

What makes one better then the other?

Also what does the pin amount make the PSU any different?

Is this Q-TEC 650 Watt ATX (20-Pin) Power Supply @ 29.99 from Specialreserve bob then?

 

[PZEROFGH]

no no no no no, 30 dollar psu...throw that out the window, and you need a 24 pin power connector cause your mobo i believe needs a 24 pin power connector.

and seagate is better cause it has the 5 year warranty as opposed to 3 years, and seagate is quieter, but this is here in the US im not sure over there but im guessing its the same?


EDIT: get the DFI nF4 ultra-D or DFI nF4-SLi
