There is nothing wrong with the parts you are buying.
I would just change the ram to the LP stuff and it will be fine.

Just had a quick search for the LP and found these two. What would you suggest from these two or any other ones?

Yes either is fine, but you would also save yourself some money if you don't use scan as they are rip off merchants.

Guys - couple of questions if anyone can help please?
I hooked up the laptop to my HD TV the other night to watch the Euro's. I used a VGA to VGA cable but am wanting to hook up the laptop to the analog TV. Can I get a cheap VGA to composite or SVGA cable? Obviously I'd be running at a lower res but the lounge room with the big TV is FREEZING now that it's winter over here lol.
Also - I just got a new 24 inch widescreen monitor for my PC and it works fine over VGA cable but I plugged in the DVI cable that came with it and it just comes up with a blank grey screen when I switch to the DVI input. What can I try to fix it?
thanks!

thats beefy enough unless u are running sli or like 10 hdds lol
I think the Power Supply just isnt cutting it so im going to get a better one.
Is there a specific reason you suggest a LP one?

yea probably. not familier with the brand name. stick with enermax, corsair(gold rated ones) and seasonic. cant go wrong with those

No specific reason just there are normally the same price and with the chunky stuff if you have a custom cooler you never get enough clearance.
So the you have a choice custom cooler or 1 stick of ram left out your machine.
Got this all delivered eventually but there is no disk drive?

I just use an external USB DVD writer. No point keeping a DVD drive powered that I might use once every six months (if that).

Make sure your old DVD drive has a SATA connector rather than IDE. I've got the same motherboard as you and it doesn't have an IDE connector.
got pc all set up but last problem is actually getting it to work now, its coming on for 20 seconds, although nothing on screen or what but it goes on for about 20 seconds and it constantly resets itself after every 20 seconds, i don't know what i've to do to fix this, spent hours trying to get it up tonight, anyone know why its doing this?

Have you double checked your RAM is seated properly and all other connections for that matter?

Any beeps? I'd disconnect all of your cables and go through them again, make sure that you've got them all right and seated in properly.
no beeps, just what happens above, i'll try rewiring it all again, see where it gets me

It sounds to me that you have not plugged in the extra 4 pin power cable, normally found near the cpu.

I did the exact same thing during my build.
Although mine would run for a couple of seconds and switch off.

I would first start by removing your graphics card and trying the onboard graphics and see what happens.
Then remove one stick of ram at a time and basically try and work out what's not working one component at a time, it is very rare for components to be faulty and you would be really unlucky if it happened to you.
I did the exact same thing during my build.
It happens to everyone the amount of times I have fixed people's machines they have built and they have not worked because of one stupid 4 pin cable.
Tried all that and still the same :/

Have you tried clearing the CMOS?
took it out for ten minutes then put it back in but still same problem
Jamezinho

But did you clear the CMOS? Sorry to ask again but that could be the problem. Doing so will reset to motherboard to factory defaults.
