first time builder need help

[magicboy]

I'm new to this and don't know about things. I don't know if this is all compatable. I just need a computer for burning, downloading, browsing the web. I sometimes run a couple of things at once so needs to cope. I don't realy play pc games just the xbox so doesn't need to be able to play all the best games. I just want a fast good computer for around 400 pound. If there are any better parts or cheaper and the same please say. Thanks.

these total £291 inc.vat. + shipping, but i didnt include a case. you can add in the same one you picked if you want, just replace the power supply it comes with the one i listed below because sometimes psus that come with cases are crap. or if you want some other case suggestions, just ask.

oh and adding in the card reader you picked would add another £10

for what you say youre gonna do, you dont really need a dedicated gfx card, the onboard video of the mobo i listed will work fine for you.

if you want to spend a little more, you can get 4gigs of ram instead of 2.

I just took the dedicated gfx card just incase I ever needed it for anything like the odd game, also is the for a full size computer or a half computer. What cases could you recommend. I'm not the best at this. Is amd ok because I just picked intel as I thought they were more popular. thanks.

 

[Muffin Man]

thats fine if you want a dedicated card.

if you do though, get this card instead. its much better than the 9500gt you picked for only £1 more.

yes amd is "ok", nothing to worry about . in the lower price point and for your budget, they offer more performance for your money.

...also is the for a full size computer or a half computer. What cases could you recommend. I'm not the best at this.

can you clarify this? i think you left something out in your sentence.

 

[magicboy]

i meen like is it the full atx or mini atx as i want room incase i ever need to expand or things and what case could you recomend, sorry if I sound stupid just a bit of a noob. Is there any good cases with glass sides. thanks. Your really helping here I don't have a clue

 

[Muffin Man]

oh ok i got you now.

you mean the mobo? the one i had listed is an m-atx (micro atx) form.

you can get this one instead then, it is the larger atx form with more expansion slots.

i looked at the available cases there and not many have side windows, so you can stick to the one you picked, just dont use the psu it comes with.

Does that seem ok. Does the psu just pull out of the case or is it forced out, and is everything compatible and is there anything else i need.(apart from monitor, keyboard and mouse) btw i will be running windows 7 so where can i get it cheap.

Find a case without a power supply or just throw it away when you get it.

Then:

[Muffin Man]

eh yea, ive mentioned twice already that he should not use the psu that comes with the case and have suggested a corsair 400w to replace it with..

yes, the list is good and compatible.

the psu is just held onto the back of the case with 4 screws. all you need to do is take those out and the psu will come loose.

everything you need to get your pc up and running will come with the parts; all cables and such.

im not sure how cheap youre going to find windows 7 for.

if you get it elsewhere, just make sure its 64-bit so that you can utilize all 4gigs of your ram.

thanks for everything you've been a great help, but one more question (hopefully) it needs to be wireless so is it a wireless card or a usb adapter I buy. Thanks.
