Updated: Help me finish my build: GPU, Case and motherboard
Update: I got a case, Antec P180, but now I need to figure out which motherboard to use.
Going back to a desktop after using a laptop for the last 6 months. I'll play ME2, DA:O on it hopefully at or near 1080p resolution (though this isn't necessary) maybe 1-4 hours every so often. When I'm not playing games I don't want to hear it, which is why I got the AC Acc. Rev2, and will repurpose some quiet fans from my last build.
My old build was:
Phenom 550 X4 3.4Ghz/ SUnbeam CCT 120mm fan
Gigabtyte GA-MA790GP-DS4H
4GB DDR2 800
GTS 250 1gb
750GB WD Green
Antec Earthwatts 380w
Antec P182
Acer 23" 1080p max res.
I'll be reusing the:
Ph550
Sunbeam CCT cooler
750 WD Green
Acer 23"
New parts are:
ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO AM3 (mATX)
4GB Crucial Ballistix DDR3
600W OCZ ModXstream Pro
80GB Intel SSD G1
AC Accelero S1 Rev.2 vga cooler
GPU: ?
Case: ?
I got a really good deal with this board but I'm not married to it. SHould I stick with my old board combo or go with DDR3? Will I notice much of a difference?
I should be able to unlock the 550 with the new Asus, however, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep as high of an oc since it doesn't have as good cooling solutions.
The max amount I'd want to pay is around $150 new or used for the GPU. I'd also be interested to know which GPU would match most effectively and what the highest card I could drive with the rest of my build. For the gpu I was thinking along the lines of a 4850, 4770, 5770. I had a GTS 250 last year which was nice.
For the case I was thinking about a P180mini, Lancool DragonLord PC-K62, CM690 II Advanced Black, original CM690. I don't want to pay more than $100 for the case.
I'm going to Frys right now to check out some cases.
