Are these components compatable and the best I can do for this price?

This comes to £148
So there is £252 to spend on a graphics card, psu, cpu, mobo

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: www.ebuyer.com

Location: City, State/Region, Country - England (prefer delivery)

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Have no idea what this is? XD

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 ( HD )

Additional Comments:
Needs to be at least quad core.


And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current system can't handle games and isn't very good, it works out cheaper to buy a new build than upgrade (the upgrades wouldn't even be that good)

My current idea of the build:

it is compatible, but you picked old items fx 6100 and amd870
go for FX 6300 and AMD970 instead :) u might want to consider intel build as well

--------------
new mobo == reinstall everything :) cant avoid that

You should run away from the power supply. I'm more likely to be voted World's Sexiest Man than that PSU is to safely get anywhere near 600W.

The case is kinda meh.

If you fill out the form at the top of the forum, I'm sure we can provide more specific reactions and better advice.

Yeah I agree that power supply is definitely trash. :lol:

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but when you port over an existing hard drive to a new machine, you will have to do a clean format of your hard drive and install everything from scratch. Otherwise you'll see serious system instability problems with drivers and things like that.

What's the build going to be used for? Gaming? Something else?

My range is about £400 so I couldn't go for intel without sacrificing the quality.

It's for gaming (Something that can run assassin's creed without that much lag) That's why I chose the graphics cards I did (not sure which is better since it's amd)

Ok thanks for telling me about the hard drive :/

The power supply has a surge so I don't think it's that bad, it has good reviews and a friend of mine has had a similar model (older version) and is still working after 3 years.

The power supply is utter crap. Your friend's power supply surviving is a poor method of evaluating power supplies. My grandfather didn't exercise and ate a giant bowl of chocolate ice cream after every meal and he lived to be 96, but that's not a reason to endorse "no exercise and lots of ice cream" as a diet suggestion.

Will it necessarily blow up and catch fire? No, though some will. It may just slowly damage your components over time with poor voltage regulation and noise filtering. It may just cause random crashes and instability as the parts age from "new" condition and prevent you from ever upgrading because it can't handle half it's promised output..

You are, of course, absolutely free to ignore good advice. It's your money, after all, and nobody's going to stage an intervention for you.
