Help with Compatability and Hardware Selection.

[x8675309z]

Hello all, I am currently in the process of building a budget gaming rig with the room to upgrade in the future. I currently have everything picked out except for the motherboard and power supply. I am having trouble finding parts that I think will be compatible with what I have already chosen.

With the motherboard I dont want to pick something that doesnt have all the slots I need, and for the power supply I am not sure which ones have all of the connectors that I need, and I also know that I would like it to have atleast a 400w constant power supply.

The parts that I have already selected are listed below, and I am not exactly sure that all the parts that I have picked out are compatible with each other so any advice on these parts would be appreciated also.

I am trying to only spend about $250 more on the mother board and power supply. Any suggestions on better or cheaper parts already listed would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

^ The main usage of the PC ? Also what is your monitor's resolution ?

I am mostly putting the computer together as a budget gaming pc that I can run WoW on at max settings. I believe my Monitor Resolution is 1600x900, but dont have it with me to be able to verify.

Some suggestions -
CPU + Graphics card -
X4 640 + Gigabyte HD 5770

Even this would suffice if mainly a gaming PC -
X3 445 + HD 5770

Mobo + RAM
ASUS 870A + Mushkin 4GB DDR3

PSU + DVD

Any suggestions for a cheap but reliable case? Thanks with all the help so far, got the price of all the parts 1-200 dollars cheaper than I already expected.

Or this is a better deal -
CASE + HDD

And additional fan for intake

And what other games that you play ? If anything more intensive than WoW, then you can get a slightly more powerful card - Though the HD 5770 is good enough, but this also would be a good option...
