No, just no. I highly doubt 380W is enough for your system, and you're also putting too much of your budget into your GPU and HDD, you should look for a 4850 and a 500gb HDD at that sort of price point, then use the money saved on a better processor.
this is... all wrong you seem to have gone for a larger budget graphics card while detracting from everything else, I mean a £30 MoBo? really? and that case is just a really bad idea, and I know from personal experience
That keyboard is nasty
please can someone rebuild it for me it is going to be my 1st gaming pc.
what resolution are you going to run at
[QUOTE=TheMadness;17773330]what resolution are you going to run at[/QUOTE] i really don't know
1440x900 would be good at that price range?

[Fail link] £360.74 with delivery and VAT. Have a look at that.

go with ASUS or Gigabyte and don't choose the cheapest you find, make sure everything is compatiable

[editline]05:20PM[/editline] SURPRISE UPDATE [C¢C] ĸдИє дИĝєŁ: i wouldnt mind tking down my harddrive and grathix card and getting a better psu [CcC] NeoDement: yeah maybe [CcC] NeoDement: I think I just took the PSU from rowans ultra cheap PC [CcC] NeoDement: Without really thinking [editline]05:27PM[/editline] Ubercharged, your build has a really good sounding case/PSU, but a micro-ATX mobo? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 2.93GHz less than 3.0GHz? TF2 (and other source based/old games (I know what this guy plays)) don't support multiple cores, right? (except for the new multi-core support, which is unstable and stupid) (disregard that last bit, I thought it was a quad core processor. Why are you recommending a weaker, more expensive processor?)

not being able to fit a MoBo in the case is [I]quite[/I] a difference, I'd say [editline]05:32PM[/editline] OP just get a 360 or something
Either be helpful or don't be at all. Rather than just saying it won't work, suggest alternatives for a similar price range. Of course it will fit. If it doesn't fit, you just return it and get a new one. eBuyer are nice with returns like that.
we returned it and got one back with a huge dent in the MoBo tray and half the inbuilt standoffs didn't have holes, then we gave up and got a 300 and were fine also note the alternative I did give, which is about the best you'll do

then save up more, because you'd maybe get something that'd run Word at that price, might even have to get preowned then also [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135101[/url]
