Hello guys,
I need some help here before I start build my own custom pc, actually I have low knowledge about pc,(but I know little)
So, i'm buying parts separately one by one(secondhand) from mudah,garagesale etc.

CPU
Processor: Intel i5 2500k (Already buy)
HDD: 1TB WD Blue (Already buy)
Motherboard: ASRock H61 Pro BTC (Not buy yet)
RAM: 8GB(2x4GB) kingston HyperX beast (2400MHZ) / KHX24C11T3K2/8X (Not buy yet)
PSU: Corsair VS Series VS550 Power Supply / or Cooler Master brand? (Not buy yet)
Casing Chassis: Armaggeddon Tomo T100 Chassis (Not buy yet)
Graphic Card : No budget, so use built-in atm.
DVD-ROM: use from old cpu.

so which you can see, I already bought processor and hdd, other parts I dont buy yet because I dont know it will be match with processor, ram etc. and because I dont know about that socket type, like 775, 1155, ddr etc.
So again guys, all parts above can I buy them and it will match perfectly? or I do need change some?

Thanks

@mod-po, bugjet around 1.2k
@goldfries any suggestions? biggrin.gif
@leethengxian thanks for feedback but I got something to know,
first, that RAM I plan to buy, I cancel it because it 2400mhz, while my processor i5 2500k is support DDR3 1033/1333,
and my motherboard(plan to buy soon) support DDR3 1033/1333/1600.
So I if want to buy RAM, which one I should choose? 1333 or 1600?

thanks

all suggested is based on used price

mobo: any socket 1155 mobo range RM150-200 (*prefreable u find z77 chipset as u already get an OC cpu)
Ram: value ram 4GBx2 ~RM200
PSU: Any 500watt cooler master/antec/gigabyte/fsp brand <RM150 (preferably if u can find 600watt if u wanted to OC)
casing NEW Aerocool GT-advance RM109

so far below RM800

balance RM400 u can hunt for used HD7850/7870
or
cheaper used HD6950 for RM150

very nice info, im planning to change mobo to asrock z77 pro4-m, what do u think?
and again,
my processor only support 1033/1333 ddr3 ram, but motherboard can support 1033/1333/1600/++
so, I can use 1600 ? or stay 1333?

Get that asrock mobo,
but if u can find another z77 that is more feature is more prferred, but that pro4 already okay,

To b safe, take 1333, it wont affect much on gaming anyways, so no biggies whether how much the speed is
