Help Me Choose Case/Mobo/Processors
I'm have decided to build my own computer which is a first for me. It seems to be pretty easy to tell which processors can be put on which motherboard with the whole Socket # and namings. However, I'm not sure which motherboard fits in which case. Also, let's say I have a motherboard that has sockets for 4 processors... can I run only one processor in it, or any other number less than four (for instance if I wanted to purchase one at a time because of cash flow?) Any help choosing the Case/Motherboard/Processors would be greatly appreciated!
Here are my requirements: -At least one item from geeks.com (have a giftcard) -AMD Processor -At least dual core -4GB RAM Capability (don't care how much it comes with) To give you an idea of the cases I've been looking at... 10-Bay ATX Computer Case w/400W 20+4-pin PSU (Black) CP2036-BK I'm guessing the fact that it says "ATX" computer case is what indicates which motherboards I can fit in the case... but I can't seem to find corresponding information on the specs of motherboards. Also, the reason I chose this case was because it has 6 internal 3.5" drive bays. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Thanks for letting me know about the combo deal, from looking at other sites it looks like it would actually save me a little more than the "Savings" amount listed on newegg. Also, I'm not sure why the case I posted would be much more difficult than the one you posted, aren't they both ATX form factor? The one I posted has slightly smaller dimensions, does that make all the difference or is there another factor?
This is what I've liked so far (because I don't want to buy it all at once, but at the same time want to take advantage of this combo deal). What do you think? Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! Also... I think maybe I'm confused. Do you not have to have a multi-processor motherboard to run something like the quad-core processor on the combo deal you showed me? There's nowhere I can't reach. |
