I am building a computer for a friend of mine for a Christmas present from his parents. I’ve picked out the parts I want to use but I’m not sure what kind of motherboard I should get. I would also like to set up the case to allow front USB connectors. How would I go about doing that? Could you take a look through my setup and offer suggestions and make sure it is all compatible and will work together?
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Here is what I’m planning on getting:
CPU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Dual Core Processor Model ADA3800BVBOX - Retail
RAM
CORSAIR XMS 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model CMX1024-3200 - Retail
MOBO ?
ABIT KN8 Ultra Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
Video Card
matrox Millennium G450 32MB DDR PCI Video Card - OEM – He wants a dual monitor setup
Hard Drive
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L200M0 200GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM
Case
POWMAX Bio II CP601-2 Blue All Metal Construction (SGCC) ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W Single Fan Power Supply - Retail
PSU – I’m going to replace the psu that comes with the case with one I have here at my house
CoolMax 400w.
CD/DVD
NEC Black IDE/ATAPI DVD Burner Model ND-3550A - OEM
What kind of extra cables and connectors am I going to need to get?
Thanks,
Chris
