    That's a pretty unbalanced build.

    Get a different power supply, maybe a 550 watt Super Flower Amazon or XFX 550 watt.
    Case is pretty meh IMHO, maybe a corsair carbide case? Or fractal, if you swing that way.
    Blu-Ray? Really? Unless you really are going to use it, don't bother.
    Motherboard isn't as good (again, IMHO) for the price when compared to AsRock's offerings.
    GPU is quite good, I'm not that into the 7900 series three-slot cooler though.
    Get a Samsung 830 SSD instead.
    Windows 8? Each to their own I guess :D.
    32GB of that RAM is ridiculous overkill. What exactly are you doing on the machine? Let me put it like this: Gaming/ General use PC = 4GB of RAM will be used. Intensive rendering/ editing build = 8-10GB MAX will be used.
    CPU is fine, maybe get a CPU cooler to overclock? Or even better, get a FX 8350. It's up there with the 3570k in gaming.

    Actually, get this:
    Item|Price
    AMD FX-8350 Prozessor, Boxed, Sockel AM3+|€182.18
    ASRock 990FX Extreme3, AM3+, ATX|€95.54
    8GB-Kit G.Skill Ares PC3-12800U CL9-9-9-24|€35.55
    ASUS DRW-24B5ST bulk|€20.20

    WD AV-GP 1TB SATA 6Gb's|€75.92

    be quiet! PURE POWER CM BQT L8-CM-730W|€91.12
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (SB-Version)|€82.35

    That's an old and slightly below par quality PSU. Is this pixmania that you're ordering from? They usually stock dreadful PSUs.

    Ok im actually getting it from amazon and what psu will i go for. ANd do all Bolts come with all parts


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    What do you mean by "bolts"?

    Amazon are good far a part or two if you need upgrades or spares but are not good for full builds as they are dearer and have a relatively poor selection.

    I mean screws.
    Where will I buy my parts


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    hardwareversand.de have good prices but their main way of payment is bank transfer. It would be the most popular site here.
    scan.co.uk can be good but their selection of RAM isn't the best and I'd go with memoryc.com for that.

    dabs.ie aren't too bad and have often good prices for some items but their selection in some areas could be a bit better.

    komplett.ie are good for some items and are a bit more local but are really another place that I'd call to if I was just in need of a few pieces rather than a whole build.

    I think you should take eboggles' advice on board. 32GB of RAM is just silly. If you want further reasoning behind parts, just ask, but don't waste time and effort.

    Be nice... If you want advice all the lads will be more than happy to help

    ie, on what to buy and why you shouldn't buy other things.

    Just because something is expensive and has a cool name doesn't mean its the best part for the job :)

    Btw 32gb of ram is silly you should only need 8gb max.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 Adsero90


    I am going to get 8GB Of RAM. But What I have found is that all of the components are cheaper on www.amazon.co.uk.

    Nope, Hardwareversand.de are cheaper.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    As I said, amazon are handy for a few items, but not an entire build. You're limited by selection. Even if things might seem equivalent in price, don't forget conversion to euro, the ~2.5% conversion fees, as well as the additional Irish VAT which is ~2%.

    Don't get a Blue Ray. Blue Ray on a PC is a hassle. The pain is you need software to play the movies and that's about another 50-70 euro's http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4090069
    And, getting it to work right is painful because of all the DRM crap from the movie companies force on us. You will buy a movie and find out you need to wait a week or two for your software to be updated. A friend of mine said the software was worse than any virus. Plus, your monitor and video card need to be HDCP compatible or it won't work at all.
    If you want really want to play Blue Ray movies you're better off with a stand alone player and tv.
