help me build g00t computer plz

beerfan · 07-17-2009, 08:25 PM

I'd like to be able to take it travelling, thus id like a micro atx.
Also I need lots of processing power. I need it to do lots of computation for research. I'm thinking i7 is the way forwards?

1. I was thinking this motherboard -

2. with this i7 -

3. with this low profile gfx card (or does the mobo have integrated grafics?)-

4. will it fit in this case?-

5.or is this a safer better option?

bottoms up!

The 650TX is going to be a challenge fitting all the wiring in that case I would drop the video card down to a 8400GT or HD4650 and use a 520HX Modular supply.

small case is a disaster for heavy cpu tasking & gaming computers! and I7 cpu's run hotter than the earlier core2's

IMHO; you would be best served to drop the "traveling" requirement from your goal !~

Laptops are for traveling. You need a Mid-Tower case for decent cooling.
