I am providing the hd, fd and dvd from my own bits lying around. will this give me everything i need to build the machine. Any advice on other hardware i sould be looking at?

thanks for reading and any advice you may give

tman

links to products within the komplett site don't work, it just redirects to the front page...

my advice isn't worth **** anyway:)
/edit
hmmm, they seem to have fixed it (or i was imagining it all along)

go for a radeon 9600/9600 pro graphics card anyway, geforce's are worse for tv out, and just plain worse...
(judging by benchmarks anyway...)

thanks for the advice i will look into them

I wouldn't go for that graphics card m8, get the Powercolor Radeon 9600 pro for the same money in this weeks offer

This card will vastly outperform the FX5200

sikes

thanks for the recommendation. the graphics card has been updated.

think i will order tomorrow

first time you click it redirects you to the front page. Everytime after that you go to the product specified in the link.

Dont get that kit.

Get a P4 2.6c, Abit IC7-G, Abit supply the SATA cables with the board so you dont have to buy seperate.
I got the 512Mb kit EL DDR PC-3200 Platinum Dual Channel - OCZ from www.shop4memory.com (under DUAL CHANNEL CAS2 DDR RAM PC-3200 section), excellent RAM. Wont regret it.

I bought myself a MSI KT7 [or something of that nature, SocketA] a few weeks ago and it came with two Serial ATA cables. If its retail more then likley you will get the cables.
