Is this any good?

[FFFJamie]

OK, I decided I might just build a PC myself, I have never done it before, but if I read through online step by step guides is it possible? << noob This is the system I have come up with from www.ebuyer.co.uk (item codes in brackets) it comes to about £620 (~$1100) can anyone please give me advice if all this is compatable together? and what you think? thanks

Actually instead of that HDD, would you rather have a Seagate Barracuda? any reccomendations on which one? I would like it to be pretty big

Welcome to the AMD family, enjoy your stay !

That looks cool for what you are going to be doing.
You aren't gaming right ?
I think i saw in your last post that you aren't.
But that is cool.
Good luck : )

Nope no gaming and thanks. Im still sitting on the fence over Intel or AMD, but think I will probably go for AMD this time

anyways go with a seagate barracuda hdd. and you might want to stick with amd cause its cheaper. get a leadtek, or gigabyte video card. and

i cant find the DR version

 

[FFFJamie]

OK thanks a lot you think I should get one of those motherboards then? does it make a big difference? I origionally went for the 6600GT because I though everyone says thats one of the best for that price?

 

[chinh]

if not gaming, go intel.

 

[FFFJamie]

Im going to go with AMD, Overclockers are doing this bundle, so I know its 100% compatible

AMD Athlon 64 3500 Retail / Asus A8N-SLi nForce4 SLi / 1GB GeIL Value PC3200 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle (BU-048-OK)
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail (ADA3500BPBOX) (CP-119-AM)
GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200 Value Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5 (GE1GB3200BHDC) (MY-005-GL)
Asus A8N-SLi nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-101-AS)

All for about £300, so I might go for that
