You havn`t listed any Ram but a tip for you is when you decide on a MB use the MBs QVL list to ensure you choose a CPU and Ram that have been tested and approved by the MB manufacturers.

i forgot but the ram is pny optima 8gb ( 4gb x 2)

8gb ( 4gb x 2)

Then you must ensure you select the 64-bit version of Windows. And for an optical, make sure it is DVD and not just a CD as you need DVD to install Windows 7.

Just to add to what Digerati has said I reiterate when you decide on a MB use the MBs QVL to ensure you choose a CPU and Ram that have been tested and approved by the MB manufacturer, so unless you have decided on a MB you cannot decide upon a CPU or Ram.

[Digerati]

Well, you can pick a specific CPU then find a motherboard that supports it, but that is not always so easy. It is kind of a back and forth thing. Usually you first decide if you want to go AMD or Intel. Then select the "line" of CPUs and then a find motherboard/socket for that line with the features you want in a motherboard, then go back and find the specific CPU from the QVL the board supports. Then pick your RAM.

Clear as mud, right?

A little more information please.

Your budget?
In which country will you be purchasing your parts.
What parts do you have, Mouse, etc.?
Monitor, brand and model?
OS. If you already have one, is it an OEM or Retail licence?

Newegg ships to Ireland, so when you have got a local price you can do your sums and (if a substantial difference) see if it worth importing, would you be saving VAT? You also take the risk of a DOA part and have to pay shipping back. We will also give you links to How to Build tutorials.

Links will probable go to Newegg.

Here is a site where you may get local prices. Select your country, top right. Register so you can save your selection. Easer to work down the list as against across.
