yes they are all compatible.

But you allready have a topic running ☺

3

It was kind of my idea, no one else was contributing on his other thread.

Do you recommend the Sabertooth for an additional £30?

4

I apologize for that im new to this forums stuff, il delete soon, 1 question, is the sabertooth compatible if i replaced that as the motherboard in this build?

5

Both motherboards are AM3+.

So yes.

6

It is 7200RPM. You don't have to have 7200rpm, but it would be preferable.

WD Caviar series  = 7200RPM

WD scorpio series = 5200RPM

Believe me, I wouldn't have delivered much of that part list if it had any issues.

is this hdd fine Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue (3.5 inch), because iv heard you need 7200rpm which i dont think this has

8

Yes, all looks good. Works well for the price.

9

ok cheers im ordering it all now man, il get back to you when iv hopefully built it successfully, thanks for the help and advice :)

last thing this is the psu yes ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004RJ8EKI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ADPCBL02P0OR6

That is a PSU, I'm not sure if it is "the" PSU, but it is a nice unit, with low ripple for the price.

12

lol yeah i meant the PSU to berserker because he recommended it and i was checking it was the one he had recommended.

13

Indeed.

14

sorry for my late post, i think you probably allready orderd your parts, but aboutthe question do i recommend the Asus sabertooth for aditional 30 pounds, if you go into serious overclocking, then yeah i would recommend it.

p.s All Asus 990FX R2.0 boards are compatible, with the FX8350.
