Hello
I am planning to build a new computer these holidays, for gaming and perhaps slight overclocking. I am on a rather tight budget, but will compromise "the best" for a decent price/quality. Main goals are a decent gaming computer with ample upgrading opportunity for the future.......
After some research I decided on my choices for the motherboard and CPU, as follows:
Motherboard:
MSI 945P Neo-F Socket 775 ATX, FSB 1066/ 800/ 533MHz, PCIE, SATA
information link(and site I plan to purchase from): http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/9148_MSI_945P_Neo_F_Socket_775_ATX__FSB.asp
CPU:
INTEL PENTIUM 4 640/ LGA775/ 2MB CACHE/ 800FSB/ 3.20Ghz
Now I am having trouble deciding on a case for these components, I figure a decent tower sized ATX model case, with a decent power supply upwards of 500W. What should I look out for and what would be reccomended to go with these components?
I have not baught these parts yet, so any opinions or reccomendations on motherboard/CPU are welcome!!
Also, motherboard price = $195 AUD
and CPU price = $369 AUD
total: $564 --- not bad??
Thanks in advance.
