1 I would stay away from Ebay. What is your budget and what's the brand of PSU your running?

how about this package.

Here's the thing...it's a LGA 1155 socket. I would go with 1150(upgrades).

what is your budget my friend and what is it your are aiming for? low gaming, mid, high? I just recommended this to another op. If you want inexpensive gaming power go with an APU, most people will randomly talk you out of it because they have no experience with them.

If you are on a tight budget, i highly recommend them from personal experience and so far noone who has actually used it will tell you they are bad for the price.

sorry guys for late reply internets been down.

well budget for cpu and motherboard and ram is around 250 mark as can get hold off a 7750 gpu for quite a cheep price can go abit higher but 250 is what im looking at atm and mid gaming should do high is bit off of a high mark to hit especialy at times like these..

You'll need to get a new power supply as the Arctic Blue+ power supply sounds like a no-name power supply.

If you are not going to replace your GPU and your PSU then yea, these are great however i cannot guarantee stability and functinality with your hd 4890, and i cannot tell you that your PSU is good.

if you have a change of heart look at this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/6vZcyc
