Hi all,
im planing to build a new HTPC/GAMING/MEDIA HUB - (MUST BE NEAR SILENT) to be plugged in to a Panasonic LCD TV.....
I need to save some money in the next few months.. so i thought before i pull the strings back the last treat would be build my system.
ive been reading lots of threads and I've deceiced on the core backbone of the system... case, mobo, PSU...
i havnt finalized the the cpu and gpu yet (lets just say its more likey to be a ati and amd!!)
anyways i thought document my build (with images as i buy bit by bit)... so this is my post to say check this space
the build....
MOBO
ASUS M3A78-EM 780G Socket AM2+ mATX
£60.00
CASE
Antec Mini P180 Black MATX
£45.00
PSU
Enermax Modu82+ 425W Modular PSU
£55.55
gonna get that on order tonight
and maybe 4gb of ram.
not 100% on what cpu i want yet... was considering the cheaper AMD Athlon X2 7850 2.8GHz or a AM3 not sure...
the beauty of it is AMD has really made building a system appealing im really impressed with the AMD2+ idea.... I cud always swap out the cpu at a later date if needed
im gonna get the GPU last as the board as graphics on board.. plus i have a xbox 360 so im no rush for games but i am keen on the idea very soon.
anyways i will bump this msg as i go long and may ask for opinion on the final config...
watch this space.
