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. |

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 |
