Am looking into upgrading my pc and was hoping that someone might be able to give me their opinions on the following products and whether they are good, bad, compatable etc..

Mobo

Memory
https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...roductId=27405

Graphics card
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...html?MSI-86GTO+

Processor

Power supply

If anyone has any thoughts or recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.

Hiya!

What are you gonna use the PC for?
The list is compatible.
I am just Curious........

 
If MS ever make anything that does not suck it will be a> Vacuum cleaner



In nature, nothing is ever right. Therefore, if everything is going right... something is wrong.

I'm guessing a mid priced gaming system.

Whats your budget?

...and what do you have already?

Well as V-R has said get a better GC and PSU I am sure V-R will point you in the right direction that way>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest is a very good set-up

I'll leave the graphics to those more knowledgable - but I agree that PSU is a big no.

I would get something like the Corsair HX 520W - thats one of the best around for that kind of money IMHO.

I like the rest of it

I agree get the Corsair PSU. Also you have a fab cpu there as well. I have got one of them and its never let me down.
