    Well they're compatible but not the best value. Have you got a credit card that would enable you to shop online? A bank transfer would allow you to shop with hardwareversand.de. A few places take laser (komplett.ie, elara.ie). You could also get a money card from o2 which you can use as a credit card. You top them up (there's a few charges to watch out for but if you're carefull it would work out better in the long run). They're normally €5 for the card but you can get them free until the end of the month - see Bargain Alerts forum.

    Aside from that, the first item already includes RAM and a CPU cooler. You'd also need case, DVD drive and hard drive for a full system.

    would the delivery cost not affect the cost in the end? and i have a case and DVD drive, i just wanted to know if everything would work together. also i wanted extra ram, but didn't know it included the CPU cooler.
    Thanks a lot.

    Well I'm seeing better prices on even amazon.co.uk which have free delivery.
    Komplett.ie and memoryc.com also have free delivery.

    Edit:
    For example:
    8GB of RAM cheaper than 4GB was with pcworld:

    6770 for a few £ cheaper:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-Radeon-Graphics-PCI-Express-Technology/dp/B004YJOT64/

    Edit 2: That motherboard's chipset is a bit dated (still compatible but doesn't have the new features like 6Gbps SATA).

    I'd recommend staying away from Maplins, they really are rather pricey.

    Hardwareversand.de have a flatrate 30 euro delivery fee to Ireland.
