First Build

Hello everyone,

I plan on building my first PC in a few days time.

Case
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/101091

Motherboard
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/101025

Proccessor
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/91328

Graphics
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/111650

Hard Drive
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/89520

RAM
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/65719 (x2)

PSU
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/102993

There's a list of all the basics. Any tips etc would be appreciated.

Also, does everything look compatible? I've checked myself, but confirmation from someone with a little more experience wouldn't go a miss.

Thanks guys!

You MUST get an SLI-Certified PSU for a dual-core GPU. Spend a little more:

Also, spend a bit more on an ASUS A8N5X.

Consider swapping your RAM for a matched pair kit, that will ensure dual channel mode.

Ebuyer's own PSUs are junk. I'd recommend this Antec unit:
