Help..Building a new Computer Need Suggestions..thanks for any help

[bradyfan123]

I'm planning to build a custom computer, mainly for gaming. I have already selected my processor of choice: AMD. I now need any opinions and suggestions for a motherboard etc. I am starting from scratch and I appreciate if anyone can share what kinds of parts they have on their comp and recommmend it to me.

P.S. Any tips on how to connect the parts together, THANKS!

Whats your budget?

 

[bradyfan123]

between $2000-2500..thats excluding the monitor im juss focusing on the desktop 4 now

so far these are the products I selected:

are these compatible with one another?...also do cases come with power supply too?

with that budget make sure you get a socket 939 cpu, and i've always been partial to MSI motherboards

 

[AdmnPower]

oh good i just noticed that the board you slected is socket 939 but you should get a SATA hard drive instead of IDE

 

[bradyfan123]

n soundcards..cooling devices?

 

[AdmnPower]

also consider buying a new powersupply to replace the one that comes in that case, usually the included power supply is less reliable, wouldn't want to cheap out on that and fry your whole computer

 

[bradyfan123]

i see..is sata better then ide?

 

[AdmnPower]

you could get water cooling, that'd be cool but don't spring a leak. otherwise just buy some fans sleve bearing fans don't last as long but they're cheaper

 

[AdmnPower]

SATA is faster

 

[bradyfan123]

i replaced the ide with this one:

better?

that'd probably be nice 7.1 channel

 

[AdmnPower]

that link is to ram lol did you get the wrong one

 

[AdmnPower]

that case looks like it has a 120 mm fan slot in the back although it doesn't mention it, but definately buy one if it does.
120 mm fans are very quiet and move a ton of air

 

[bradyfan123]

oh sorry lol..wrong link
