    hello all,

    im looking on building a low spec p.c for my little brother and have done some researh into building p.c's thus far i have made a verdict on what i want but i need someone to check to see if what i have chosen is compatible.

    mobo http://www.ebuyer.com/product/221178

    cpu http://www.ebuyer.com/product/238326

    ram http://www.ebuyer.com/product/235776

    HDD http://www.ebuyer.com/product/240589

    i already have a case k/m and monitor and PSU

    also if anyone can get any of these for cheaper or better quality for the same price can you please let me know

    many thanks in advance

    Compatible yes, good idea no.
    Change HDD to: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/500-...aviar-blue-sata-300-7200-rpm-16mb-cache-89-ms (£4 less, better drive)

    may as well change CPU to use same site: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/amd-...-s-am3-32ghz-15mb-cache-ht-4000mhz-95w-retail

    change M/B to: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/giga...)-ddr3-1333mhz-sata-3gbps-sata-raid-micro-atx (Much better quality board)

    change RAM to: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/4gb-...6-(1333)-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-8-8-8-24-165v (faster, cheaper, and performance is better with a matched pair)
