I just bought this
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-130-487&depa=0
It says that you need a amd 64/fx processor. I bought this amd 64 3200+
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-500&depa=0
But what im not sure about is that the mobo details say this
"
Supports Socket 939 for AMD Athlon 64FX/64 processor
Supports 3500+, 3800+ Athlon 64FX 53, FX55 or higher CPU"
So do I need a 3500+ at least for my mobo or will my 3200+ work? If its true I will cancel that mobo and get this one cause it doesnt say you need at least a 3500+

Thank you so much, it had been bothering me all day:). Will this case work with it. It says it can hold a max Motherboard size: 12" x 9.5 and my mobo is 12 by 9.6

If you have a cooler case for around the same price I can still cancel this one and get what you guys recommend. But I want one that tells you your cpu temp :).
Thanks again
 
The only issue I see with the case is you don't know the PSU you're getting with that case...generic PSUs could cause you heartburn down the road. my 2 cents...

In that price range...no. You can try it with that PSU installed and hopefully you'll have no probs. If you do, then buy a good PSU like the <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-103-459&depa=1" target="_new">Enermax Noisetaker 420W</A> or the <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-935&depa=1" target="_new">Fortron Source 400W ATX12v 2.0</A>
Good Luck!
