I was just wondering if all those things will be compatible each other, in another words, can be put togather to build a PC.
I am mainly concerned about
* If the motherboard supports IDE as well as SATA. Whats the difference between say 9 SATA or 10 SATA? I saw hard drives that said 9 SATA and 10 SATA.
* The motherboard fitting in the case, the PSU fitting in the case. I already calculated the total approximate wattage needed...which was 370 (thats an over estimate)
I never had much luck overclocking...so I am probably not gonna try overclocking this one. I am going to use this computer mostly for general stuff, with some gaming on the side. The machine will probably be on 6 days a week.
Hopefully I can use this machine to play F.E.A.R (may be at 800x600, med quality with a decent frame rate) as well as do some web and graphics designing work, internet browsing etc.
