Soo shall I get the PSU Agricola suggested?

Most PSU's running at below 50% load have a large drop off in efficiency and if you are paying the power bill this can add up over the course of the year. A top model has a fairly flat power efficiency curve (the $140+ models) but in most cases you will save money short and long term by buying a PSU more matched to your system needs. I would get the 600W one Cleffy suggested personally, there have been people that suggest say, a 1000W PSU for 'futureproofing' but you would lose that money in electricity even if the connections are still proper by the time you need 1000W..

The 4770 is really the inexpensive card to get atm. If you have more money you can get the 9800GTX+/GTX250. Tom's hardware has a great summary of each price range for graphics cards.

The one Cleffy suggested is a very good brand name and I'd reccomend you get that, PSUs are one of those things that tend to be overlooked when people are building systems. I've done it to my own peril, get the OCZ 600W as I don't see how you can go wrong with it,

But if it explodes destroying your system, it was Cleffy's fault!!!!! (joke).

Tyvm, won't I need a fan and heat sink so I don't fry my processor?

It will come with the processor along with instructions on installing it and the CPU on your motherboard. The HS fan will also have a layer of thermal paste pre applied but you might want to buy a small tube just in case you need to reseat the HS later. I bought this arctic silver, I use surgical spirits if I need to clean off old paste before re applying new or to clean anywhere on the CPU itself.

TY the motherboard said 'micro ATX' is this for a micro case, because I think the one u suggested is standard size.

It'll fit into any size case, any standard case will have plenty of holes for the risers of all size Motherboards so don't worry about that.

So I don't need to buy anymore fans or anything?

Well my "full" sized cases will mount a Micro ATX board no problem.  You just end up with a lot of room around the board is all.  Normally there is one set of mounting screws (far right looking into the case) that they don't use as the board isn't as wide.

So it shouldn't be an issue... the only issue would be a full sized board in a Micro ATX case.

No the CPU will come with a stok heat sink fan and the antec 300 has 2 fans for airflow in the case. You might want to also purchase these extra sata cables just incase they don't provide enough with the motherboard.

Ok i'm all set to buy I suppose

Now the fun begins :) Please post here if/when you run into any road blocks, rarely does it go right without a hitch first time. Also have you downloaded windows 7 RC and burnt an ISO disc yet? That's if you want to use a free 64 bit operating system, if you don't have vista already.

Ok ty

I will download it

And what kind of games will it run, any chance with crysis (lol), bad company? Aion?

It will run them all at decent FPS, here is a review click. as you can see it runs everything whilst struggling with crysis (but they all do) so you would have to lower settings when playing that. Personally I think it's a pretty powerfull rig when it comes to gaming, not bleeding edge obviously but it still packs a punch and can deal with pretty much any game.

TYVM for all the help I will now buy the parts and build it!

One more thing before I buy. I know you said the micro motherboards are compatible with the case, however on Amazo it says,

"Supported Mainboards: ATX" on the website there is no micro ATX? are they compatible still

I'm also upgrading to this card

Micro ATX is just a slightly smaller board. All ATX cases supports Micro but not the other way around.

Wait, that link is a Radeon 3870, the 4770/9800GT or whichever you were looking at before is better than that card if that link is to the right item. You should stick with the 4770 or 9800GT.. if you already ordered it you should have time to change the order though.

WOW that was close ty so much! missed 3 and thought it was a 4 I will need to be more careful!
