[shortass11234]

why is it alot of people are still using those ugly assed dell monitors, cmon if ure gonna spend that much on a pc, then atleast invest in a better display to go with that hardware

@shortass11234 i got a new monitor. the dell was just temporary. i got a new lcd asus 23.6"

well guys what do u think of building a PC with these features ?! Case COOLER MASTER KN932 RC-932 FULL TOWER Processor AMD PHENOM II X6 BLACK EDITION BD95.00 HDD WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB BLACK EDITION RAM SUPER TALENT DDR2-800 2 GB X4 = 8GB MOTHER BOARD ASUS P7P55D-E PRO SOCKET 1156 POWER SUPPLY COOLER MASTER GX SERIES RS750 AUDIO CARD CREATIVE LABS SB0570LA SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY SE AUDIO CARD VIDEO CARD ATI SAPPHIRE RADEON HD5770 1GB DDR5

@M4Multi Thats not going to work. You got a intel socket board, with a 1156 socket. It does not support the AMD cpu. You need a mobo with a AM3 socket and that will support your AMD cpu. And just to let i know most off the AM3 mobo only have dual channel for memory. so make sure to buy dual channel. you can buy up to two dual channel so that's 4 sticks of ram. You have to make sure that every thing is compatible and supports your hardware. don't just put random things together. hope this helped

windows 7 hp can only support up to16gb of ram

[exoticg9]

is a single radeon HD 5870 nice to play ? im getting one

@dexter1423532

No. Any video card works with any ram. They arnt linked at all.

Just make sure you motherboard supports it. Ie, for a PCIe video card, you need a PCIe motherboard, and make sure you power supply has enough power to power the card.

@deathbox731 its not th make i have a problem with mate its the screen size, if you were gonna spend upwards £1000 on a pc i just think you would invest in a decent quality 16.9 widescreen or maybe a hd screen if you have the g-card

[deathbox731]

@shortass11234 mine's a dell 21.5 '' whatts wrong with that
