(these two have helped me a ton get to the point i'm at however I think i went a little but overboard on what they planned)
THANKS AGAIN GUYS

any help?
 
ok if I look at that mother board then I need a new CPU because the CPU socket will not work so can u reccomend me a CPU and then also why is this new motherboard better then the one I had previously decided on?

Also I thought about getting a new power supply can I get a reccomendation on a good one and then I will get a new case that does not come with one.
 
I like the gauge and controls on the front I know they probably have no real use because ur goin to keep everything constant but its cool to me but that looks cool to so I will look and think about that one however I am probably not goin to end up with that but I want somethin like that without a power supply tho

anything else?
 
That Motherboard that Rohan suggested will work with you CPU.
Is the only thing your going to be using be school or are you going to do any gaming?
You might want to get a better PSU also. Most of the bad reviews have to do with a bad PSU and since your CPU is a 125w CPU you might want to go ahead and go the safe route and get a better rated PSU.
Your Case without the PSU 64.99 after MIR
OCZ 500w Modxstream 44.99 after MIR

So it is only about 10 bucks more expensive than your original setup but you are not only getting a more powerful and better rated PSU but its also modular so you can take off the wires you arent using to clean up the clutter and have better air flow.
 
awsome thank you man and yea I was looking into that n i want to keep the case so thank you very much for that help.

Also I had a guy on a different website comment about the workstation saying it was old and outdated can anyone comment on that please? do you think it would work and also all I plan to use it for is CAD work and school
