Hi, im going to be building a new PC, im looking to spend no more then £850, it will be mainly for gaming and work, and just want to have the best possible setup for the money. I may OC cpu and ram depending on how things look when its build (i havnt done it before so wont be rushing into it), I plan on running windows 7 32 or 64bit just depends on tho mobo doesnt really botherme (im able to get the OS so it isntpart of the 850). I like to get my products from www.ebuyer.com or www.overclockers.co.uk/.

Here are the products i have picked out, and if you have any suggestions on things that would be better please say.

There are 2 main things that worry me at the moment, im not sure if the power supply will be powerful enough, should i try get the 750w version? My other big problem is that i have read alot of reviews about the motherboard and many people talk about their RAM no being compatible, but looking at the memory on the Asrock compatibility list, alot of products seem the be old/discontinued. If someone could point out 4gb 1333mhz+ of memory that definatly should work with the mobo for £100 or less wouldbe appreciated.

First of all, with the price of power supplies today, I would get the 750 regardless of your power requirements. My opinion is that you do need a 750 and I am not saying a 650 would not pull it, but you would be putting some strain on it in heavy use situations and that is why I recommend the 750 Corsair or Seasonic.

Second, the Asrock boards are not very good quality, so I would look for either a Gigabyte board or an Asus board. Those are the two quality vendors in that area.

Would this mobo be better you think?
