Computer Hardware Thread (Help Guide)

[The Somalian]

Gonna start work in the new year to build my own Pc I know there are guides online but thought it would be good to make a topic in here

Well I am looking to buy this motherboard bundle good deal?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/4-4GHz-P8P67-M-Corsair-1600MHz-Overclocked/dp/B004TGN6RA/ref=sr_1_16?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1324257470&sr=1-16

for price comparisons check scan/overclockers uk they have good bundles aswell

As for the hardware itself ive got pretty much the same and its great so yeh do reccomend

[Elementalism]

Nah do not buy from Overclockers.co.uk. Used to be a forum member over there, not only is the forum full of racist cunts, but the owner Mark 'Spie' Proudfoot is a fucking racist c*nt. Do a Google and you will see. Prices are alright but you can get better deals buying from Dabs/Microdirect/Scan seperately.

Buy your memory from crucial.com/uk unless you want some badderman Corsair/Mushkin stuff.

What do you want the PC to be mainly for? Gaming/audio/video/media box?

Oh and buy a top quality PSU. Corsair are very good

^ Didn't know they made PSUs too, deep. Yeah definitely don't skimp on the PSU. I copped some budget gold plated Qtec 550w ting years ago and it blew up on me about 6 months after purchase. Was like 30 quid. One I have now cost about £70 and has lasted solidly getting run 24/7 (at times) for the like 2 years.

I'll spec you a PC. Gimme until tomorrow G. Reckon we'd have similar requirements.

Dont buy a cheap one. I have that same one but modular.

You dont need 850watt unless you want 2 gfx cards. 650-750 should be fine. But it gives room for future upgrades.

Alright G safe Appreciated

This is my lil hobby for 2012

Cool, ill spec u one on scan ina sec

Use that and the one Elementalism does and have a look for better prices etc and you should be good.

Wireless/Bluetooth is on the motherboard yeah?

I think the mobo has bluetooth, mine does but its a different version, completely forgot about wireless card but they are not too expensive.

That bundle is cool still had a look and seems a decent price

[The Somalian]
