[marksct]

Ok. So this is a final check to make sure everything will work before I order....

CPU: AMD x3 720 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159071
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/GIGAB...770T-UD3P-MOBO
RAM: Corsair DDR3 4GB http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/4GB-%...d-CAS-9-9-9-24
HD: Seagate 500GB http://www.ebuyer.com/product/158860
PSU: 500W Silverstone http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/500W-...n-Dual-plus12V
Case: http://www.scan.co.uk/product.aspx?ProductId=22365
DVD writer: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/LG-GH...SATA-Black-OEM

Plus a HIS HD 4890 I aready bought

Total comes to around £490

The only thing I am slighly unsure about is the PSU. Is it ok?

thanks

I think that you might be right on the PSU. Send another £20 and get one of these.

Apart from that, pretty good system. Just remember, if you plan to unlock the fourth core it is not assured, there is a chance it won't unlock, so if you're buying tri to go quad, just buy quad in the first place.

Thats fine as well. This will also do if you want to save a bit of money.

I would get this RAM as you can run it at lower latencies at 1333mhz:

I would get a Samsung HD322HJ as it is a faster single platter job:

Otherwise get this one:

The Corsair VX550W or the HX450W will do the job for a power supply:
