Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

Hi there, I'm in the process of building a new pc, it's my first pc build. I am very new to this but I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can.

I have

Case: Nanoxia DS1 €100

Processor: AMD FX-8350 €180

I going to get

Graphics: Saphire 7850 2GB €160

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2.0 €160

Memory: Kingston 8GB (2x4GB) €63

Storage: Sandisk 128GB SSD €89

PSU: OCZ ZS 750W €78

Wireless Card: Edimax 802.11n €16

Headset: Creative HS-800 Fatal1ty €34

Total: €915 (approx. and Including p&p)

I have old(ish) keyboard, mouse and TV screen, for a monitor.

I'm going to try to scavenge a DVD drive and a couple of HDDs from around my house (i.e. take them from older comps, and I have an external HDD as well). If needs be I can always get new ones at a later date.

I haven't put much thought into the OS yet. Probably get Windows 8 somewhere locally.

The main purpose for this build will be word processing etc., web surfing, and games. I'm not too fussy about having high graphics settings though.

I want to experiment with cooling over the next few months, so I like the thermal radar solution of the Sabertooth and I'll add cpu cooling and more fans as I go.

Any Advice is very appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Everything is cool, particularly gpu. If you will be just playing, 1600 MHz memory is enough, but if you think about everything else, then I am suggesting you to go for atleast 1866 MHz memory, otherwise your 1600 MHz will be a brake for your kind of system. This is my opinion. GL ;)

Thanks for the reply, I've done a little search and decided on the Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB, only a few euro more as well.
