Hi,
I am a complete noob to building computers and ive bought all the parts which i was told would be fine by a more experience friend. The problem i have is that i have been able to install the processor on the motherboard but when its put in the case ive got it seems to fill the whole thing even though it is an ATX case and an ATX motherboard. The other problem is that the graphics card i have purchased DOES NOT fit. I am rather confused to this matter and any help would be appreciated. Spec below:
Motherboard: Asus M4A77TD PRO
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 640 Socket AM3 Quad Core Processor
Memory: 4Gb (2X2Gb) Dual Channel DDR3 1333Mhz Memory - Vdata (doesnt seem to fit?????)
HDD: 500Gb Samsung Spinpoint F2 5400rpm S-ATAII 300 Hard Drive
PSU: 900W Silent ATX PSU
Graphics: 1024Mb nVidia GeForce GT 240 PCI-Express VGA Card (seems far to big and doesnt even come near to fitting)
AND my case is a Raidmax Tornado ATX....
Do i need to buy a different case or i bought something wrong here? :S CONFUSED!!!!!!!
Any help would be thanked
