First off, neither of us have built a PC before i just need to know if i'm missing anything and if i should swap out any parts. We're getting a Video card elsewhere so don't worry about that. [IMG_thumb]http://imgur.com/MbyS2.png[/IMG_thumb] Opinions? Is it terrible?

I assume your budget is $400 without a videocard + OS? I'll make something better. [editline]12th November 2010[/editline] [img_thumb]http://gyazo.com/c19c28e8dff632f2b3658a2c7904c7d0.png[/img_thumb] $20 over budget, unfortunately. Any suggestions or does this suck entirely?
Vaun's build looks solid. However is Kingston RAM good? And the PSU is overkill, why not get the 550 watt Antec instead (not the Basiq model)?
Thank's Vaun i'm gonna go with yours and see how it turns out.

[QUOTE=Soul-Chicken;26031226]Thank's Vaun i'm gonna go with yours and see how it turns out.[/QUOTE] Wait what is the video card you are going to get and how much? Also I'd get a better motherboard than Vaun suggested. Is it ok if I try a build for ya? [editline]13th November 2010[/editline] -snip- Forgot hard drive

[editline]13th November 2010[/editline] -snip- Forgot hard drive[/QUOTE] Go right ahead. I'm still not 100% sure on what qualities to compare motherboards with, hence my motherboard choices not being up to par.
That cpu isn't compatible with the motherboard, get this [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103650&cm_re=phenom_II-_-19-103-650-_-Product[/url]. [editline]13th November 2010[/editline] it comes with a heatsink too
Thanks lads
