First Build
I made a thread here a while ago about a build, but i left it too long to update and am creating this new one for the build I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on. Just needing some last minute advice/troubleshooting.
It's just going to be a tower. I already have a monitor and peripherals. Will be a gaming rig (fairly intensive), and I'm going with Intel. Don't plan on overclocking. Original budget was £600, but I can stretch to £700 if necessary. Case - Foxconn TSAA-677 - £31 http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=890857 PSU - 520w Corsair - £80 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=27955 Mobo - Asus P5Q SE - £78 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Asus-...-SATA-RAID-ATX CPU - E8400 - £140 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=30243 GPU - Radeon HD4850 - £115 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=33455 Memory - Corsair 4GB DDR2 - 800 (2x2) - £42 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=35921 DVD Drive - Samsung DVDRW (IDE) - £20 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=34570 HD - 500gb Western Digital - £44 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/500-G...MB-Cache-89-ms OS - 64 bit Vista Home Premium - £90 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Softw...roductId=25906 Firewire Card - £5 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nisis-port-P.../dp/B00006JIMG Need this for Audio Interface. £645 total. Any glaring compatibility issues? Any easy ways to save a few quid? I'm pretty set on the CPU and GPU but the rest I'm more open to change. |

Is there any reason to go with Sata or IDE over the other when it comes to the opticals?

I think SATA is more reliable and plus its newer technology and easier to install aswell
 I would also go with this RAM as its more well known and guaranteed to work according to the Asus QVL: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Compo...roductId=27910 |
