is this all i'll need
and can u find me a nice case on that site thats capable with that board?
and if you find anything better or recommend some other stuff that will be cheaper for better value or same value for word processing and downloading plz let me know thanx
items must be from
www.tigerdirect.ca
thank you very much
 
seems like an awesome mobo but a little exp for what he isplanning on doing with it. If it is just for surfing and WP then I would assume 1.5 to 2 gig of ram a sata 150 HD, asus mobo, and a athlon 3800 or higher woudl be more than adequate for what you are looking to do.
 
oh well can u find me a nice motherboard and processor combo for cheaper then that and it'll do just what he wants?
 
Is he going to be gaming? I asume he may be since you added a video card, if not, then on board video is good enough. Also 2gb of RAM is about the max right now. I tried putting 4gb in my pc also and it only reads 3gb. So just stick with some value ram that will be about 275 cheaper.
 
Somebody correct me if i'm wrong, but i dont think that video card is combatible with that motherboard. the video card would have to be PCI Express rather than AGP

you might need a power supply too.
 
im looking for you guys advice on a case that comes with a power supply great enough and is capable, i thought u needed a video card. guess not but man do i need anything else cuz i never built one before and i want to know if its internet ready and everything
thanx guys
 
alright thanx i'll use 2 gigs then.. but can you guys
help me on which case would support the mother board and those fans? thanx
