I would like to try to assemble a computer my self its just the thought of doing something wrong when assembling it. When assembled not knowing how to set it up right How would this setup sound Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Skt AM3+
- AMD 760G + SB710 Chipset AMD FX 4100 Quad Core Processor (Skt AM3+)
- 4 cores @ 3.60GHz 500 watt psu Liteon Ihas124-19 sata cd/dvd writer
8 gb Corsair Vengance Memory Wd 500 sata Hard drive
Radeon Hd 6770 Graphics card Total From Novatech £425
I would be grateful for any opinions Les
Have a read of tomshardware on power supplies. Some were unable to deliver their quoted wattage. I'd prefer a solid brand name on the power supply.
I'd go Intel on the cpu, the new ones tend to be more power efficient which affects the size of the power supply and price performance is good again see Toms comparison.
If you really want to do something now I'd think it terms of a second hand Hard Disk, I've got three old sata hard drives lying around in boxes I think two are new replaced under warranty ones you could have for free but the postage from Canada in a suitable box would be to expensive. I'm sure there are people in the UK in a similar position.
