I am currently building a computer from scratch. It is meant for gaming. I need some opinions on this rig. I would also like to know if the components will work with each other. My main concern is with the motherboard fitting and lining up properly in the case. I have a lot of 120MM fans sitting around that i plan on using with the case so im not concerned with overheating. I dont plan on overclocking quite yet anyway. Help me out!!!
MY SPECIFICATIONS:
Motherboard: MSI 790FX GD-70 AM3 Motherboard
LINK: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-790FX-GD70-4DDR3...mp;sr=1-1-spell
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 2.60GHZ AM3 Processor with 2MB L2 Cache running at (4000MT/S)
LINK: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Athlon-620-2600M...7638&sr=1-1
RAM: Kingston HyperX 4GB KIT (2X2GB) 1600MHZ DDR3 DIMM Memory
LINK: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ER&v=glance
Computer Case: Cooler Master RC-310-BWN1-GP Elite 310 ATX, MATX Mid Tower Case with Window (Black/Blue)
LINK: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RC-310...0288&sr=1-1
I realize the hard drive is missing from this setup. I currently already own a 1TB WD Caviar Black Drive that i plan on using with this motherboard. Please let me know whether the processor will work with the motherboard. When i went on MSI's main website the processor i chose was not on the supported CPU list. Im confused with that since the processor is socket Am3 so it should work properly with the motherboard. I would also like to know if my case is good enough for this motherboard. Be sure to check the links below each component for further details. Thanx for the help!!!!!!!!!! I would appreciate any recommendations!!!!!!
