New processor, motherboard, ram and optical drives in me pc dude.

All went in first time with no trouble or problems.

PC now really fast

That's something I would like to do one day when I get time , just seems at the mo there are more important things that need doing .

It's really really simple.

It's much cheaper than buying a new PC and you feel really good when you press the ON button and it works.

I've just fitted a Gigabyte GA-A75M-S2V Motherboard, AMD Llano A6-3650 2.60GHz Processor, Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Memory and a couple of SATA optical drives.

Cost me £199 including next day delivery.

Downside is reinstalling windows and all the bloody updates

It's some thing I will def look into , maybe a job for next winter and the dark cold swedish nights . Never build one before but have connected a hard drive to move over all my programs and files to a new computer and changed the bios ( I think ) to make it w**k plus other small stuff with extra cards for making music etc , so I suppose I,m half way there

If your gonna do a project, buy things bit at a time. Then when you've got them all, sit down and put it together. Here's basic list of what you'll need to buy.

Case - Decide what sort of size case you want, buy one without a PSU, and if possible an easy install system for hard drives and optical drives. Add a couple of case fans as well.
Power Supply Unit - Min 500W, at least a 120mm cooling fan (much quieter than faster spinning 80mm ones)
Processor - Decide if you want Intel or AMD. AMD are much cheaper than Intel and the new A series APU's really kick Intel's arse.
Motherboard - Get the best you can for your processor but I would highly recommend Gigabyte
Memory - Buy as much as you can of the fastest you can get relative to the number of slots on the motherboard.
Hard Drive - I would buy 2 of exactly the same type and size and install them in a RAID configuration
Optical Drive(s) - Either one or two DVD burners or a DVD Burner and / or Blu Ray
Cables - SATA data cables and molex to SATA power adapters,
Windows - Buy an OEM copy of the 64 bit version of Windows
Graphics Card - If you go for an Intel processor, go for the highest spec card you can. If you go for an AMD A series APU, go for the highest spec compatible ATI card you can. However, with the AMD A series, there really is no need, the onboard ATI 6 series is good enough.
Plasters - You will cut yourself so decide if you want Thomas The Tank Engine or Ben 10

That should just about do you. If you do decide to go ahead, both myself and Jo will be around to give any assistance you may need or point you in the right direction. Oh, one last thing, if your not in a hurry, take the longer free delivery option, it can save you a tidy sum over time and purchases.

Just read that through twice to make sure I understand it all. Going for Thomas the tank engine as the colours are nicer

Cheers Blakey , I will save that list and keep that in mind , thanks for the advise dude and PMSL at the plaster bit from you and the copper

If you can dude give me a ruff cost of all the items above so I can compare them with the prices over here . There is a couple of good places to buy parts from , one is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and the other is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], cheers .
