Before i order is this all compatible?

Navster · 11-25-2008, 04:11 PM

I am just about to order parts for myself to build a computer, but i am just wondering if this is all compatible with eachother, because the last thing i want is to receive all my computer pieces and them not be compatible with eachother.

Case :Casecom LG-3360 Black Mid-Tower Windowed Case with Red LED and Red LED 12cm Front Fan - No PSU : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128052

Card-reader : Hiyatek Black 20-in-1 Multifunction Card Reader With Fan Controllers 2x USB E-SATA : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136392

CD Drive : LiteOn DH-20A3P 20X DVD±RW/DL/RAM Black Bare Drive - OEM : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129936

GFX Card : XFX 9800GTX+ Black Edition 512MB DDR3 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149119

Mother Board : ASUS P5N-D nForce 750i SLI Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/142585

Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz Socket 775 1333FSB 4MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148933

Power Supply : Arctic Power 700W PSU - With PCI-E, 4x SATA, 20+4, ATX12V, 8pin +12V Connectors - Retail Boxed : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/124927

Hard Drive : Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB Hard Drive SATAII *32MB Cache* - OEM : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143288

Memory (RAM) : OCZ 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Memory NVIDIA SLI READY EDITION CL5 : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138561

Or if you think i can change any parts which would improve performance for less, equal or a little extra cost.

For a 9800GTX+ I would want a 750w quality unit like a PC Power and Cooling, Corsair or Cooler Master Real Power Pro model.
Look for a Sata DVD drive that one is IDE.
I would also opt for the faster E8500 or E8600 over the Q8200
If your gaming, games don't now or in the foreseeable future take full advantage of more then 2 cores.

Yeah, it's for gaming but i also do a lot of other work such as Autocad designs, Photoshop, Autodesk Maya and have a lot of programs open at once so i think a quad core would help with the multi tasking side of things.
I changed the power supply to http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141503
Hiper 780W Type-M Ultra 85% Efficient PSU - 4x 6pin PCI-E, 2x 8pin PCI-E, ATX P4/P8, 4x SATA

it seems to be the best value for the amount of power. not really wanting to spend more than £100 on a power supply.

Oh also, do i need to buy any cables? or will i get everything needed to build this computer with what i have ordered? This is my first time building a computer.

You will get cables with the motherboard.
Hiper isn't that great of a supply.

This may be a budget breaker but the faster clock speed and larger cache will benefit you tremendously> http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134677

Ok great, i've got it all listed comes to £750 overall. £150 over my budget. but i don't want to bother trying to reduce the price. i think this will be a good system. I'll just fork out the extra.
I took your advice on the power supply, I'll be ordering it this friday. Hope to receive it by monday and then i can get to work on building it.
Thanks a lot for your help, i hope i don't mess anything up, is there any guides or anything i should read before attempting to build? i've messed around with insides of computers before so i have a basic understanding where everything goes. I imagine it'll be like a jigsaw puzzle.
