[scoty1991]

hi im, building myself a new pc and was wondering about compatability with the following parts
im mainly going to be using this build for gaming, photoshop, and illustrator.

mobo: gigabyte ep43 ds3L
processor: intel e8400
ram: 2 x 1gb ocz pc2 9200
Graphics: evga 9800 gtx (im on a budget -a tight budget- and in ireland the prices are ridiculous)
psu: corsair tx650w
case: nzxt hush

i dont need hdd, dvd, monitor, keyboard or mouse as i've LOADS of these!

oh and as a side note, does anyone know where to get a copy of xp media center edition quite cheap... preferably in UK or Ireland?
thanks in advance!

Welcome to PCM.

Good list there. My only suggestion is that your RAM is overkill. A good set of DDR2-800 sticks is all you need.

thanks i've changed that
got some for a couple o quid cheaper
thanks... you wouldn't happen to know anything about getting a copy of xp anywhere?
i cant find anywhere that will sell me media center edition (and at a reasonable price)

I can't seem to find anywhere selling xp media center edition, but overclockers uk sell OEM editions of xp home for 57 quid (before VAT): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...M%20(N09-02215)
and vista premium for 74 quid (before VAT): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...M%20(66I-02059)
