First build,would these components work?

[Lukaszade]

Ok,thank you so much guys.Really appreciate the replies.
I will go with the CX600,I am probably going to get the list that Xeon posted as this is what I was looking at myself.Will probably order today.

Always buy a good solid PSU and get one with more Watts than you need, it will last you at least 2 or 3 more builds! And as someone has said if you Overclock then it will be good investment. Also be careful about buying from Pixmania they don't have a good return or customer service!! As what ive heard so far OP. Best of luck with your parts list. AJ.


P.S. Amazon would be a lot better price wise and customer service as well!!

Damn,does the 990 board really make a big difference?
They are around 120 euros and that would end up being 540 euros(probably no shipping).I still need to buy a monitor.

If you don't mind ordering it from another shop http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASRock-990F...?ie=UTF8&qid=1371830435&sr=8-1&keywords=990fx

Ok so I added all the same stuff into my basket on amazon and the price ended up the same,will still buy it from there though if you say that the customer care is better

Guess I will have to buy that more expensive board that you suggested Hippogriff.What difference is the board going to make though?

Better ram (IMHO), cheaper PSU, 990 mobo

The motherboard is nice since it supports XFire and SLI x8/x8 (that should not be a problem). Let's hear from other, in any case!

I'd still get the Crucial ram instead of Patriot, but it's more personal preference.

The video card is a non-OC version, so a bit weaker. But it should be OK for GW2!

I had an OCZ power supply go on me, the first and only so far.
I don't think I'd buy one again, but that's just me.

Sure that 990fx board is fine.
None of those boards have robust power delivery, so overclocking will be more of a casual affair. (4+1)

Since we are looking at amazon now
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GA...d=1371841769&sr=1-1&keywords=gigabyte+970-ud3
This board is not a 990fx, but carries an 8+2 power phase VRM and would be more stable when overclocking

If you are sold on the 990fx chipset, I'd recommend this board
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-M5A99X...&ie=UTF8&qid=1371842052&sr=1-9&keywords=990fx
It has a 6+2 power phase VRM

These FX CPUs are power hungry and when overclocking the lesser VRMs can easily get overwhelmed and cause instability
