    looking to build new pc


    hello guys, n girls i am looking to build a new desktop been reading posts here of people building rigs this will be my first build. i am not sure what i would need to get fot the intent that i want to use it for.

    i will be using to to edit mpeg 4 video clips (not HD), possible some light gaming, might edit some photos and surfing the web.

    so what parts and tools would i need and keep in mind i don't have the biggest budget to work with. currently selling stuff on ebay and working to get the money.

    Hello AussieGuy92. I'd think if you posted what your budget is, you'll get some good suggestions. A Guy

    Here are the cheapest sites I know - all very competive - for you to compare prices
    Thats not a bad deal you have thrown together - I like it - it would be hard to beat all in all, but have a look below as these stores are all cheaper in general.

    Make sure the RAM is 1.5 volt to match the Sandy Bridge specification.

    No reason to get 1600 MHZ PC-12800; stick with 1333 MHZ PC-10600.

    Otherwise, it looks pretty good for your budget.

    You've listed the DVD drive twice, with no operating system.

    You've picked a lga 1155 MB and a lga 1156 CPU. Maybe someone else can tell if they are compatible. I know you can't do it the other way around, but don't know if the 1155 is backward compatible.

    They are not compatible.

    He needs a 2000 series CPU to go with the socket 1155 motherboard.
