Ok i know ive been away for awhile but for the time ive been away ive built my very first rig!

Ok its was hard but ive done it.

Bought a maplins bundle: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200 + ECS GeForce7050M-M Mobo + 2 GB RAM

Bought a case that can be bought at maplins but bought of a mate who owns a computer shop + plus it was cheaper and came with a PSU.

New 250GB Hitachi Deskstar SATA Connection.

New DVD-RW SATA connection.

Vista Home Premium.

All for well under 250 Quid

Set it all up and got it in, went to turn it on and nope bluescreen of death!

turned out not only had maplin supplied me with a different model board then what they had stated on the box, but had also given faulty RAM.

A week and a bit later, new RAM arrives from amazon and bang away it goes!

So thats ma quick story lol

didnt have the best first build but there you go

Anyway, comments please make them.

Pictures will be up soon!
