Total of 675 delivered, plus pixel check maybe.


thats the listage... everything look fine? I think everything is mentioned there. I'm a first time builder.

I've remembered most crucial things, i think- PS/2 keyboard so I can use it in bios, ram compat with mobo, (ds3l can be flashed from usb right, if i get an old one which hates wolfdales?) Is the pixel check worth it? PSU is enough i think, everything seems in order. Time to click Buy?

PS- as i wrote this, a cheque for £1004 turned up through my letter box. Is this an omen? Will we ever know?

cheers guys

It's a little more expensive, but i think it's a better board

https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Motherboards/Socket+775+%28Intel%29/MSI+P35+NEO2-FR++Socket+775+Motherboard+?productId=28015

But the choice is yours of course

I'd second that, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

the msi is a good board but i have a gigabyte so 1 vote for that :)

my logitech wave keyboard is usb and works fine in the bios ;)

psu is near the bottom of the power range for the the 8800gt i think something over 500w maybe?
