hi i have just bought a new motherboard from msi its the k9a platinum(ms-7280) and im not sure what to do about the rest of the components i need, im not very good with computers but decided to give building my own system a try and now im stuck very early on. What i need is advice on which mem and cpu and grafix maybe audio if possible, well everything would help, if anyone can help or maybe sum1 knows a site that will help me it would be gratefully appreciated ....:)

cheers kriskalumbus...:)))

try this site, http://www.eclipsecomputers.com very good all round site slightly slower then others but parts are cheap and are of good quality...been buying from them for 2 years now with no issues...

as regards what to buy,make sure you get ddr2 and not normal ddr for this board.also a pci ecxpress graphics card not agp.

you will not need a sound card this motherboard has 7.1 realtek hd audio built in.

and i would get a sata hard drive,they are no more expensive then id drives now.

if i can be of anymore help please post back

regards
