I would highly recommend trying to get the 2500k, its 10 times better for gaming and will make your rig much more future prof.

The 2500k is the best gaming cpu you can bye, you might find the i3 will bottle neck your 6850.

Hi, well done good choices. Aria has a gaming chassis for £20, I got an email about it yesterday. you could save £30 there and put it into a CPU. Here it is: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...er+Midi+Tower+Gaming+Chassis+?productId=47468

thanks for the advice

Pretty solid build, I would suggest getting 8gb RAM as it is not that expensive. But 4gb will do you fine!

I agree with this

I agree with this

.

I agree as well. But, I think the goal is for a very budget conscious build. Hard drives prices are still up and taking this into consideration, the Blue drives are still enough to suit the needs.

 

[SavageCupcake]

right i know this is off topic buttttttttttttt

its all built and sorted exept audio -.- case has 2 connectors to front panel audio, ac,97 and hd audio, both off same cable. but either one i try i still get no audio

[yassarikhan786]

Are you sure you're connecting to the connection on the far left of the MB?

 

[SavageCupcake]

[Ravious]

I agree with Azurite, The spinpoint F3 is the best value for money.

 

[SavageCupcake]

[yassarikhan786]
