I cant see any incompatibilities with that setup, however im still novice at building computers. An ATX mobo will fit in any midi-case and a graphics card will fit in any PCI-Ex12 slot as far as i know. As for your CPU, you might want to be a bit more specific (what are you using the system for, do u want dual/quad core etc).

P.S That case looks awesome man! Wish i had the cash to buy me one of those ;)
 
thanks :) i dont know which is better intel or amd?? id like it to be for gaming.... but its also for a school project so i dont want it to cost a fortune the cpu i mean.

whats a good gaming cpu that doesnt cost a billion dollars

Thankyou.
 
Yep that will card will fit that board and it will fit in the case.
I would say look at another case my buddy just got one of those and it seems flimsy and the lcd screen on top feels like its going to break off.
Maybe some one who uses the case can give you more insight thats just my opinion on it
 
here are some details about the case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146037
Motherboard Compatibility ATX, Micro-ATX, BABY AT

this is your motherboard - ATX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131189 (it only runs INTEL) with socket LGA775
CPU Type Quad-core / Core 2 Extreme / Core 2 Duo / Pentium
PCI Express x16 1 -- for your gfx card (i dunno if 2.0 is an issue..i don't think it should be but i'm not 100% sure)

here is your graphics card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121237&Tpk=ASUS+RADEON+HD3650+512MB
Interface PCI Express 2.0 x16

so those look ok.

as for processors..it depends on how much u'r willing to spend.

if you want a mid range computer AMD is the best. If you want a HIGH range computer you have to go with intel.
Athlon 5200+ is slightly better than the lower 2 core 2 duos. but as you get higher, intel is significantly better. AMD is cheaper than Intel.

i'm trying to build a quad core..its going to be around 850 for me..i'll post it in the forum and let u know if u'r interested.
