Bits purchased:
- AMD Phenom II x4 965 CPU (3.4 GHz),
- ASUS M4A87TD EVO motherboard,
- 4GB DDR3 memory (2 sticks of 2GB, shop didn't stock 4G sticks, I asked),
- Antec case (Noted on the way out that it didn't have a power supply. First time I've ever borough a case that didn't come with a power supply in situ!)
- 500W power supply.
Hope I got a video card new enough to be backward compatible with the motherboard. That's the only potential issue I can see.
Have a 1TB SATA hard disk on the shelf already.
Going to load Ubuntu 10.10 on it.
I love this jigsaw stuff, should do it often enough.
