Buying new PC, old PC just keeps BSOD'ing

[kiesim]

Alright chaps, I've finally had enough of trying to fix my constantly blue screening PC and have opted to to order a PC from PC-Specialist after a mate told me about them. So here's what I'm thinking of ordering:

Case
COOLERMASTER ELITE 310 BLUE CASE
Processor (CPU)
AMD A8-3870K APU (3.0GHz, 4 Cores) & AMD Radeon™ HD 6550D Graphics
Motherboard
ASUS® F1A75-M: FM1 A-SERIES, SATA 6.0GB/s, USB 3.0
Memory (RAM)
4GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz X.M.P(2 x 2GB KIT)
Graphics Card
Integrated AMD Radeon HD 6000 Series Graphics
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
250GB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 16MB CACHE
Power Supply
450W Quiet 80 PLUS Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan (£29)
Processor Cooling
STANDARD AMD CPU COOLER
Sound Card
ONBOARD 8 CHANNEL (7.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)

10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT - AS STANDARD ON ALL PCs
USB Options
6 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL (MIN 2 FRONT PORTS) AS STANDARD
Operating System
NO OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIRED

You'll notice that I haven't ordered a GFX card, thats because I already have a AMD Radeon 6850 already, that card will work with this set-up right? And what do you guys generally think with it? I'm going to be using it for mainly gaming.

i think you shoud say how much you want to spend, how long you want pc to last before upgrades needed, what type of games if a gaming machine. what quality of graphics you expect. the more info the better, people will understand and will be able to post a spec to make a suggestion to you

[kiesim]

I pretty much want to know if I'll be able to just add my GFX card (Radeon 6850 HD) in that rig with no problems? Haha

Shouldn't be a problem,if you want to double check add the GPU you have to your spec in the configurator.

Well while you're here you might as well get some advice on your spec as a whole. So if you answer the questions that Leea posted it will be easier to help you.

Are you gonna be transferring your HDD from your old PC? If not 250GB is going to fill up pretty fast, and I'd go with the faster Caviar Black HDDs over the generic ones.

Also are you planning to crossfire your GPU in the future, and do you want to stick with AMD or are you happy with an Intel spec? It's a bit more expensive but they generally have better performance. Again depends on your budget.

[kiesim]

Okay, well my budget isn't huge, probably a maximum of £500 but if I can get it lower then great. I want a PC that can handle MMO gaming mainly (I'm playing SWTOR atm, but play WoW, Minecraft and EVE occasionally).
I have tried building my own PC from scratch but have had no end of problems which is why I am buying from here and why I dont have a high budget. I already own an AMD Radeon 6850 HD that I will be installing in whichever PC build I go for. I'll probably be bothered about upgrading it in a few years time so thats no biggy. I also already have a 1TB OCZ HDD and a 60GB OCZ SSD that I will be installing, the only reason I have a 250GD HDD on the above spec is because there is no option for no hard drive.

Thanks for all the help in advance guys

[Wolvo7]

I'd go for this, I'd always go for Intel over AMD and the i5-3550 is sure to be able to cope with any game.

I changed the case to one with better airflow, I will assume that you don't intend to overclock, else you'd need a "k" CPU, and if you ever intend to Crossfire you'll need a better PSU and ideally a better mobo as this one only has one PCIe x16 working at x16 speed.

You could always call PCS and ask them to remove the HDD if you want to cut the costs, also if you tried to build a PC do you already have a case? You could send it to be fitted with your components if it's of good quality.
