Building a PC for me: Opinions wanted!

[lhuser]

Ok, first off, those stuff is selected with precision.

Since I don't play the high-end games, this build is meant for N64 and lower, along with UT2004. I know my old 1.33 machine (Second in sig) played with a Geforce 4 MX 4k with no problems.

The board I though is this one:

The CPU is this one:

The RAM is 2GB RAM DDRII-533
The HDD will be an 800GB SATA. I don't need excrutiating space either.
The PSU Will be a standard ATX PSU...say 550W.
The GPU, as I don't game much, will be this one:

For the case...this is crucial. I need a Desktop form factor case. My room is hopefully going to get bigger, and what bigger, comes with a corner desk with two PCs. I'm opting for a Desktop switch, as I am going to put the PC ontop. Good airflow is a must. Also, when it's going to be nice and mild outside, I'll open the window, and that will throw air in. Now, here's what I thought:

This one is the one I find the best.

However, this one:

Looks nice. But, I'm a little concerned about 60mm fans. They don't do as well as the 80mm ones.

I was planning previously a beige case, for a RetroTeKno project, but dropped it. Old cases tend to not have fan inputs (Slot 1 days were the most quiet PCs)

What do you think?

Thats a pretty economical machine if I ever saw one. Will definately be quiet. Is the ram x2 = 4gb or x2 =2gb?
Looks like a very solid build, not really my cup of tea though, I tend to gravitate more towards the jaw dropping light up cases and fancy cooling systems but, whatever floats your boat.

hey Daeva what kinda FPS do u get with that machine your running in your sig (sry not to get off topic) lol

as for ihuser that is a decent machine for everyday use family type of machine prolly some mild gaming why not just spend a few extra bucks and get a 3800+ but idk your funds or anything along those lines but overall decent Mobo is alright i would go with Something along Abit or Asus but like i said idk your funds

Most looks good, but that seems like a pretty expensive case considreing it doesn't ship with a power supply. Also, a 600W PS? Will there ever be a time that you draw that much power with those components? Great processor choice. Man, thats a pretty good deal on that processor, I might have to buy one. Nice lookin case though, very sleek.

Nice build for the price! lol u put 800GB hdd at the start of the thread, im like wow and he doesnt need space... lol. The case does get hot tho according to the reviews, so id be wary of that.
