Yep, thanks.

That cable kinda reminded me of a wireless adapter.

But on my chosen mobo, it says 

Onboard Ethernet

(1) 10/100/1000 Mbps

So will this mean that I need to buy one or does it mean that it's already included. And if I do buy one, will it speed up the internet?

 

And cos the 6300 is unlocked, do you think I should spend some more money so that I can overclock it?

Please stop pairing 7950's with the cx430. I have yet to see if it's stable and you're pushing the psu with no room to oc. 

Don't recommend what you would never do yourself.

Except I would do it myself

Then do it and show that it works.

What would be wrong with it? And there is a slight problem, the RAM rose £50 today, lol.

The problem with the 7950 with a cx430 is that it might not work. The psu might not be enough and no one has shown that it is--especially for oc'ing which you should really be doing.

So should I choose another another,  I think yes. I will be OC-ing but to get an after market cooller is out of my budget (which I am really overstepping at this point). Yeah in the future. So should I get one above 430W? Should 500W be enough?

I'm talking about oc'ing the gpu. A good chunk of the 7950's power comes from the oc'ing.

Oh. No one really mentioned that. I'm researching how to OC it right now.

Just use Msi Afterburner and raise a few dials, test if it's stable and push further or dial back depending on your results.
