Hey guys i just wanted to ask ye're opinion on a custom built PC i made and wan't to know if it'll work ok. I'm just basically wondering if it will all work together?

Have you already bought everything? If not you would probably want to change the processor to a i5-2500k, it should only be around £20 more but alot better. That cooler is abit of an overkill, you could just run stock on a sandybridge chip no problems.

What are you going to be using the computer for? Gaming? If so choose a better graphics card, the 430 is very low down on the scale, go for a GTX460 at least.

Other than that everything else looks fine, the PSU is a goon un!
 
What Reef said, 10 - 15 quid more gets you a much better CPU.

Where you buying from?
 
Thanks guys, it'll probably be from PCspecialist.co.uk, i will be using it for gaming but nothing really big tbh, but yeah somone else told me the liquid cooler was abit overkill. So if i go with the quad core 2500k and increase the graphics card it should work pretty good?
 
Yeah man, the i5-2500k is one of the best processors on the market. Virtually as good as the much more expensive i7-2600k for gaming.

Just stick with the stock cooler for now, the sandybridge chip aint a hot beast anyway. Definatly get a better graphics card though, a GTX460 is probably the best cheap card on the market and can be picked up for just over £100. Pair a GTX460 with a i5-2500k and your on to a winner :D
 
Never heard of PC Specialist but just had a look at their site. They don't actually sell parts, only make PC's to order. All well and good I suppose but I wonder if self build works out cheaper?

I also get a sneaking suspicion this may be just a subtle plug for that company, like, you know, spam, but I'm like that.
 
They been about for a while Flops, think maybe TC got her pc from there a few years back.

I thought the same which is why i went and asked, expecting some random no name cowboy outfit like usual. But they (PC Specialist) are not like that imo.

:)
 
Thanks alot, this list answered a lot of questions I had about general hardware functions.
