I'm in the process of building a PC and I've just found all of the parts im going to be getting.

Theres a few other things that ive got, but not of really any importance. Just curious as to whether of not that will be a good computer to play some games on and such. Any tips and whatnot would be cool.

The link to the hard drive is the same as the video card so we can't see which one you've chosen. I personally would go for different ram and processor. Otherwise, good job! I built my first computer last year and it was fun - only took a couple of hours! Good luck!

Here is the eternal question for all builds: What do you want to do with your PC? That being said, a PSU that comes with a case is usually poor quality. I'd get a different PSU.

Put it this way:

Celeron + Games = :(

LOL, just expressing my thoughts. Its quite a good Pc overall but would really up the processor it will slow the whole comp down!

And yer deff go for a new PSU!

I would get at least a 450W. Make sure you get a good brand too such as Antec or Thermaltake.

I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else who is warning you away from the CeleronD. Don't mix it with games. I wouldn't even mix it with a motherboard... Almost makes my stomach turn. I'd mix it with the garbage.
