First of all. Hello there dear friends =] This is my first thread on this forum, therefore I feel like a warm greeting would be necessary I know it is not right to ask for a favour, since i am just a newbie, but i hope some will spare a moment or two. Let's get to it. I am planning on getting a new PC. However instead of buying a pre-build, standard PC, I figured it would be fun to make my own. This is the first time I am trying to do this. Now, I made a list of components I have looked up on the web. Would someone be so kinds and check if this is all i require? Maybe i missed something? Maybe you happen to have a better solution or a better component I might use. This set up is worth around 450 GBP, which is around 720 USD. I would appreciate if we could keep the price under 500 GBP (800USD). I am waiting for your suggestions and opinions. Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V LX ATX LGA1155 Socket Intel Z68 Core i5 i3 i7 Supports: 32 GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Graphics Card: 1GB XFX AMD Radeon HD 6770 RAM Memory: 2x4GB 1600MHz Non-ECC Kingston HyperX Sound Card: I just realised that on board sound card would not be enough for me. I just bough a pair of Dr. Dre Studio Headphones and would love to be able to use them to the maximum. What sound card would be appropriate ? DVD Drive: Lite-On Power Supply: Alpine 650W 120 mm Cooling: 80 mm 4-pin CPU Fan HDD: Western Digital 3.5'' 640GB SATA and a case (compatible with motherboard (ATX and size wise) - I have checked) =] The only thing i am not sure about is the power supply. Is 650W enough for these components? Thank you for your time.
Hi was looking at your build, and most of it looks good. What are you planning to use this computer for? Gaming, media editing... This way I can help you better.
