I kinda like this rig: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113122 Can anyone raise any real objections to it? Thanks in advance. The comments say it all. Cheap mobo, cheap PSU, no overclocking, no space for another video card. If you don't care about that then it's not so bad. | ||

Motherboards follow different size forms. Most common are micro-ATX and ATX. The case specifications should tell what motherboard sizes it will fit. The graphics card is also pretty large for the higher-end models. They usually give the length of the card and then you compare that with either user reviews detailing how well their cards fit or the dimensions of the case. | ||

As FragKrag said, just watch a few youtube videos and after your first time installing hardware it'll be easy. | ||

You are pairing an outdated Intel motheroard with an outdated AMD CPU You are buying an external HDD instead of an internal HDD so essentially throw out everything you have so far and start over. | ||

We can put up a list of things that would be good for you : ) If you want to build your own computer it's going to take some reading (pre-building) and some reading (motherboard manual probably) while doing so. | ||

I have the same CPU and right now im running it stock cause I don't need more, but you can get a nice OC from it. You could get something like this: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/2904/cooler_master_hyper_212_plus_cpu_cooler/index.html (around 50us$) That will make your PC more silent if you OC it. | ||

the Phenom II X4 has a lower TDP (doesn't mean much), and a much better stock heatsink. And also because they die at around 70C | ||

I have built near 100% passive computers in the past that make no noticeable noise unless you fire up the hdd's or use the dvd drive and i can mitigate the hdd's making noise. Passive psu's cost way too much but a aftermarket cpu cooler for 20-30 bucks can significantly lower the noise coming from your computer, and also lower the heat on your cpu. It's just not as useful as someone who does oc. I like to think quiet pc's are like phsyx or eyefinity you wont miss if you don't have it but once you go to it you never want to go back. | ||

I want to know if all the parts are compatible and if it can meet my requirements. Sorry for being a total noob at this  | ||
