i didn't include a hard drive, because you may want to just get a 250gb or for some extra speed get some raptors or something... thats really up to you, but the motherboard does support RAID 0 and Sata2 so its good to go.. if you don't get the 7950gx2, i definitely suggest something ATI just because its got better drivers... avivo video converter and fsaa+hdr are definitely pluses of going with ATI and i think next time i buy it'll be ATI... depending on how it works out...

You can take a look at my system the one in my sig.At this moment perefect.Dont spend much on graphic card because DX10 is coming out soon.It will go to garbage.If you want to overclock take my setup just get watercooling.But if dont then change the mobo get some cheaper ram.
 
I already have a DVDRW and CDRW, mouse and keyboard. I would like to keep the lian-li case silver, stick with nvidia video card i have selected and core duo 2.

I kinda went from having a pretty good idea to all these different suggestions im kinda confused a little.. lol

Id also like to stick with the PSU rosewill also.

So i just need new selection of MOBO that works with the other stuff i have. Thats basically it. But i gtg to work now so ill look over all this again tonight.

Thanks for the posts.

I would suggest this case instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119068

It's an excellent case (I have it) and at the moment only $34. You could take the money you save from the case and put it into better other parts.
Click to expand...



why go for that shit case when the Lian-Li is way better


that case only has a 80mm and 120mm fan while the Lian-Li has 2x80mm and 2x120mm fans, not to mention a whole lot better quality construction


i would either suggest that Lian-Li Pc-60BPlusII or Antec P180B
 
k im home.

I want a cool looking computer, that can play games like FEAR on high and above, and ANY game on the highest settings. I use my comps for LAN partys aaaall the time, so i cant be getting some 20$ grey case.. if you get me :)

The lian-li is what im getting for sure.. silver probably because you see so many black ones.. like my current one ive had for 2 years.

I want to stick with nvidia for video but i want the core duo 2 now.. but i ask, why get the cheaper one instead of the 2nd highest one that i posted a few posts up? My budget is like $1,700...

Really all i want to know, is what MOBO can i get that will work with everything else i had listed, mobo, thats it im ok with everything else.. im just worried that im going to get a part that doesnt work with the rest, because no one noticed that first mobo i posted didnt work with the rest of the stuff i wanted.
 
yes cards that are now will play DX10 but very shitty.THey wont support everything DX10 could give so why not get the cheap one now and get some nice one later and it would last you longer since Dx10 is going to last for couple of years untils Dx11 or w/e is going to come out.
 
these are the last part choices, im ordering them today and want to know if they are all going to be ok with eachother before i do..
