I'm a first time builder, building a gaming system. You guys have been great answering some of my earlier questions, but it seems like everyday another question pops up.
It's just my nature to panic whenever I try to do something new, I just want this to go without a hitch. I don't want all the parts to get here and then I say damn i fu**ed up.
Basically I've been assured by many of you the my build is solid, BUT I've received complaints of two things. My Mobo, and my case selection. So let me give you my build.
CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz
GPU 8800GT 512 MB
RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220144
MOBO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059&Tpk=p35-ds3l
This Mobo was also suggested to me
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131142
Honestly i have no clue what the difference. My budget for the mobo is $140
Case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021&Tpk=antec+900
This case was suggested, but I've also heard that it's not noob friendly, and I am a noob.
So this case was then suggested http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137
I like it because its cheaper, but my main concern is over heating. Honestly i could care less about looks. I just want a case that will cool my system, and will not give me much trouble assembling. Budget for the case $120 (a rebate would be nice though )
Once again thanks for all your patience and help.
