I've selected all components for a gaming pc.
-I do not plan to upgrade any parts, I want to use all parts as long as possible
-I won't overclock any parts or use SLI
-I hardly ever turn the pc off
-I prefer a quiet pc
These are some questions I have:
-Is the case still good for these hardware?
-Will all parts fit in this case and are they all compatible?
-Is there enough cooling/ airflow or do I need additional cooling?
-which parts are "too strong" or "too weak" compared to other components?
These are the components I selected:
Older parts:
-windows xp pro
-case: Antec SonataII (3 years old, without PSU)
