Hello people! New to the forums!

My PC just died, and am looking to build a new one, on a budget.

My last one was a HP DX5150 MT with a MSI 7050 Motherboard, which just died :bang head

I am very good with tech and know what I'm doing, just need to find GOOD cheap parts. Going to be sourcing from eBay.

So for starters, the parts I do have:

  • Zalman USB Gaming Keyboard
  • MSI Geforce GT N210 1GB DDR3
  • Polaroid USB Wireless Mouse

Parts I will need:

  • CPU
  • Motherboard
  • Hard Drive
  • Power Supply (UNLESS SUPPLIED WITH CASE)
  • Case (will buy once bought the Motherboard, because of the size)
  • RAM

I live in the UK so preferably from Amazon UK and eBay UK.

Thanks!

Will

P.S How do I edit the title? :)

What is the budget? What is the plan for the computer? As that graphics card in mainly for computers that do not have onboard.

I do not want to tell you what to do, but if you have been out of the market for a while, you may not know about AMD's APU's. They actually have pretty good graphics inside quad core chips on the "cheap." An A8-5600k (~$80) is something I would look into as it is quad core, overclockable, and has about a $60-$80 graphics card packed into it (imo).
