Please tell me you havnt already bought that ram, you most likely will only realyl need max 16gb of ram, get either Corsair, G.skill, Mushkin or Crucial

Buy less ram and better ram, please. The same for the Power supply!

 

[JordanDoyle]

I've already bought the PSU, whoops! And I can't afford better ram

I've already gone over £700 budget.

hi jordan what have you got already and what can you send back?

take a look at this for a mobo http://www.dabs.com/basket

plus use code april10 to get £10 off when you spend £150 or more must be used to day (use some creative thinking with this code i.e family)

Given the budget I think this build needs to be streamlined a little bit.

Is it going to be mostly for gaming or for you recording/editing (and what are you recording and editing?)

This will decide where you need to spend the money.

Also, yea, what have you bought and how much of your budget is left?

lol no money management :/ is that what you're doing with your life.. all bad should've bought the cooler/psu/case first then bought the last 4 togeather
