Ok Guys I Need Your Help Here... Im Building A System... My Plan Is To Use An Amd690g Motherboard So I Can Use The On-board Hdmi To Connect To A Tv.. Then Use The Tv As A Screen So I Can Sit Further Away And Use A Wireless Keyboard And Mouse... Im Trying To Keep The Cost As Low As Possible... I Managed To Find A Deal Where I Can Get An Amd 690g Motherboard For 40.00 After Vat With 3 Years Warantee From Eqs...

What Other Parts Do I Need...

I Dont Need More Than 2gb Of Ram

I Have An External 160gb Hard Drive, So I Dont Need A Big One Inside

I Want A Good Performance Dual Core Amd Cpu

I Want An Nvidia 7600gs Or Higher

I Really Dont Care About The Case Or Psu

I Want A Dvd Drive So That I Can Watch Movies On The Computer/tv

Somebody Please Help Me Get The Best Prices Around So I Build This System And I Will Upload Pics Of The Finished Product For All To See!

Remember It Has To Be On The Amd Platform!!!
 
I dont think anyones going to do it all for you, so maybe throw up some suggestions of what you're looking at?

All I can say is find a reasonable power supply and decent case. As the board is micro atx I'm guessing your looking for something pretty compact in the end?

Wow Thanks For Your Help Brown... But Thats Way Over Budget!!!! Looks Like I May Have To Wait A While Before I Can Get Anything!!! Is It Best To Grab What I Can Now And Get The Rest Later Or Shall I Wait Till Im Ready.... Then Buy It All Together
 
£220 you aint gonna get much tbh mate, or what you get will be cheap cr@p and you'll want to upgrade in a few months anyway
 
2GB OF RAM (2 x 1gb sticks) - KINGSTON DDR2 800 (1 GB x 2) £69.90

2.0 OR MORE DUAL CORE AMD PROCESSOR EG: (3800+) - AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800 Retail £44.00

WINDOWS VISTA PREMIUM - 32 bit £51.95

BASIC CASE AND 400 WATT PSU - £ 15.99

I already got the motherboard... that makes the total.... £221.23

opinions... maybe I should hold out untill i can buy it together with the HDMI TV so that i can have it running!! plus maybe by then prices will be lower!!!
 
£15 case and psu is ok

though the psu will set on fire and your pc will become deader than dead

so get a better psu eg a tagen or coolermaste or even a hyper
 
WHOA!!!:eek: i guess ill go for a better PSU then :D ... Thanks Deathwish!!!! i would have taken that and been in some real £%£%&£

If i wanted to maybe upgrade later on and install a more powerful CPU and a GFX card nvidia 7600gs or above will I need a PSU thats more powerful than 450W... Would it be better to have a powerful one now or get one as and when I make the upgrade?

guys thanks so much for all your help!!!!:worship:

OH AND BY THE WAY HAM!!! THE RETAILER IS ARIA... YOU CAN FIND ALL THOSE PRODUCTS ON THERE AND MORE!! I WAS PRETTY DAMN IMPRESSED WITH THAT SITE

they have google checkout too which means you can get a £10.00 off purchases over £30.00 not bad eh!!!!
 
I think 450Watts is more than enough for what your getting, just as long as you dont cheap out :D Infact personally I wouldn't go above 500Watts.
 
For PSUs ill make the same recommendations i made someone else the other day. Antec Basiq power 500W or the coolermater Igreen 430w. Both can be found on specialtech.

And for the love of god, cut down on the Exclamation marks and capital letters.
