Hi,
Would somebody tell me if this hardware will work together. Some of it will be new and some off my old pc, ill also be getting a new graphics card later on but be using the one stated below temporarily until I have more money.
Mobo: 2/10 - That's a very weak and old motherboard, it probably won't work with that CPU, you need something much more substantial than that to run an AMD quad. Ebuyer's AMD motherboard selection is dreadful for reasons I don't understand, but if you are sticking with ebuyer, something like this would be better:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/159000 CPU: 8/10 - Power hungry AMD, but reasonably fast
Case: 2/10
PSU: 0/10 - deathtrap. If you really want to keep that dreadful case, you at least need to throw that PSU it comes with and buy a proper one like this:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150985 GPU: The HD2600 Pro will only fit if it is PCI Express. If it's AGP you also need a new graphics card.
RAM: 7/10 - Not bad, Kingston aren't the best brand out there, but they should suffice.

Is there another site I should buy my motherboard from.
Any reccomended cases I should get instead.
