How is this bit of kit?

[Aoami]

Novatech Barebone Bundle - Intel Core i7 950 - 6GB DDR3 1333Mhz - Intel X58 USB3 Motherboard - Novatech Midi Tower Case & Novatech 600w Gaming PSU

Good value?

Already have a monitor, and hopefully a GFX card.

Cheers

PSU might be a bit on the low side depending what gfx card and how many drives you put in it

donno about the vents in the tower but the other stuffs ok

 

[Aoami]

Would just be kept to 1 hdd i'd expect and an ati hd4890

Also, what about this one. "Titan Krypt" AMD Phenom II X4 840 "95W Edition" 3.20GHz Quad Core DDR3 System [].

Would the warranty be void if i opened it up and put a card in?

 

[Moriath]

you choose a card to go in it any way from them but you better ask them .. also i think the i7 is better than amd iirc

 

[Aoami]

Assuming I bought the i7 one, the top one, what would I need to complete it?

I have on my list so far;

OS
GFX Card
HDD
Keyboard/Mouse
Wireless Card or Dongle
Kettle Cable
HDMI Cable

I've sent them an e-mail asking whether it comes with a heatsink/fan attached, so obviously i'll need them as well if it doesn't.

 

[Moriath]

im sure it comes with heatsink etc if they selling you the cpu

 

[Aoami]

Comes with a heatsink as suspected.

Final list of things-

GFX Card
Monitor
OS
Hard Drive
DVD Drive
Keyboard/Mouse
Wireless Adapter
DVI Cable
2 SATA Cables
Kettle Cable

Anything i'm missing?

 

[Moriath]

speakers ?

 

[djpringle]

Pretty sure when I got my Novatech bundle some time ago it actually came with all the cables.

Probably will build a desktop soon and will go for something crazy like this, only £60 more

Whats your budget for the whole system, excl keyboard / mouse / mon / speakers.

 

[Aoami]

£500 ish. Couldn't really stretch that far so ordered the box in the top post, arrives monday

 

[Aoami]

K, so i got my box and other parts. I'm having a problem though. I installed the HDD and DVD Drive, but the HDD isn't spinning up and the DVD drive doesn't open. Both connected with SATA cables.

Any ideas? Does it matter which SATA slot they go in on the mb?

 

[GimmlyThe3rd]

Power plug?? Both should have 1 power and 1 Sata only ...

 

[Aoami]

Yes, i hadn't plugged them into the power
Not built a PC since IDE days!

 

[Moriath]
