HI:
I'm about to try my hand at building my own pc and have a question about the case.
A friend is offering to sell me a Cooler Master ATC-210 case for a good price.I know this case is about 3 years old but I love the looks of it and the build quality.
My question is-will this case run cool enough for a newer Athlon setup.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

First off Athlon CPU run rather cool. With one 80mm in the back and 80 in the top, does it have one in the front doesnt look like it. You could always add a fan in the front or side panel. What CPU cooler will you use and will you overclock it?

A budget would be nice.

Also is this for gaming or other things?

Thanks justin3680
I'm looking at an Athlon 64 3700+,haven't decided on a cooler yet(any suggestions?)
As for budget,I'm retired and it's my first attempt to build my own so I want to keep it as inexpensive as possible without going CHEAP -hope that makes sense.
I do some gaming but that is not my main concern.Mainly webbing and photo editing.

amd 3700 is cheap and has plenty of power for what you want.
artic cooling freezer 7 pro and the thermaltake big typhoon are good & cheap coolers.
foxconn & gigabyte have cheap & reliable models available. a basic mobo isnt good for overclocking but i dont think you want that expense.
seagate make reliable hdd, and sata is cheap. try to find a cheap mobo with sata.
pioneer dvd burners are cheap & really good quality.
samsung make reliable ram and have cheap models available.
nvidia 7300gs is a good cheap graphics card that will play most games, but at basic settings. if you want games to play with detail & resolution turned up you would want a 7600gt at least.
dont skimp on the psu, unless you wanna risk a failure which can blow everything in the system. pick a 400w from the reccomended list here http://www.devhardware.com/forums/p...pply-94217.html
if you get a 7600gt you would want 450w-500w
