Hello Everyone! I am building a XP computer (don't want a VM) for my works game room, this PC will be just for about 40-50 1990s-early 2000s games. I just need some help with what I'm working with.
Currently I have a;
Intel E8400 Processor, Dell 0k075k Motherboard (BTX), nVidia 9800GT, 4GB DDR2 Ram (@800), 80GB 5400 HDD, & 450W PSU.
The issue I am currently running into, is that the MoBo is a BTX, which won't fit into a regular ATX Case, as well, I bought a ATX-LGA775 Heat sink prior to finding out it was a BTX Mobo, (Purchased everything at once, I know dumb) - What I'm looking at now, is do I buy a ATX / Micro ATX Mobo, and then get a case everything good to go? if so, does anyone have a recommendation to a good motherboard, I seem to be having some issues finding a decent one (due to some motherboard companies from back then going under, and not a lot of info on the motherboards that are out there)
oorr do I go a different route
What I am looking at;
Intel i3-7320 Processor, ASUS H110M-E Motherboard, No Graphics, 4GB DDR2 Ram (@800), 80GB 5400 HDD, (Still need to check PSU)
