    Hi guys.

    Am hoping someone will be running a nice little amd system for me to get some advice from.

    I am looking at building new pc in next couple of months. Aint set apart a budget for it yet. All i will need to

    Motherboard
    CPU
    RAM
    SSD

    SO for motherboard i looked at :

    http://www.ebuyer.com/270697-asus-m5a97-amd-socket-am3-8-channel-hd-audio-atx-motherboard-m5a97


    CPU's

    AMD 960T Black Edition 3.0GHz Socket AM3 8MB L2 Cache.. | Ebuyer.com

    AMD FX-6 6100 Black Edition 6 Core 3.3Ghz Socket AM3.. | Ebuyer.com

    Ram

    Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V.. | Ebuyer.com

    Or the 16gb version

    Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V.. | Ebuyer.com

      looked at the link you posted for the mobo and according to the specs its for a intel cpu not amd.
      having run amd cpu on all pcs i have built and never had any problems with them i can only recomend you give them a go.

              Amd Cpu's are good maybe not as quick this days as intel chips but good value for money. Black editions are cool as you can easily over clock them. I would say FX version is better as they are newer architectue. Asus boards are good so as long as it supports your CPU it should be good. I have used AMD cpu's for a long time and never had a problem. Just as a sugestion have a look at Aria PC - Computer Hardware, Components, Monitors.. at lowest prices to see what they sell and compare prices I think they will price match as well. They sell bundles as well. There is sometimes a customer review on stuff they sell.
