Lo all, been a while
I have finally decided that my rig needs replacing (its a P4 I have a monitor already (1280*1024) and a budget of £700. I have never built myself a PC before and am a little worried that I might screw it up. I will not be overclocking anything. Anyway I came up with ![]() I wouldn't be buying it til early January so prices should come down and stuff so this is in no way a final build, however I have quite a few questions. Would this all be compatible? Does the CPU come with heatsink and fan attached or do I have to faff around with thermal paste and add my own? Is a 650W PSU enough if I plan to add another 4GB ram later on and upgrade to a DX11 card? Is a rig like this going to last me 2+ years (including new GFX card and RAM)? Is scan.co.uk a decent place to purchase parts from and what are they like about DOA items? That's all I can think of atm in this inebriated state, I'm sure I will come up with more. Any and all comments/help is appreciated --------------------
