Hi guys! Need help with a m-atx build that im planning on getting. Not much gaming to be done on the rig but would be nice if it could do a little action (resolution would either be 1980x1080 or could be 1680x1050). The parts I had in mind are as follows.
cpu: amd athlon II x4 635 ($92)
mobo: biostar TA880GB + ($68)
memory: cfd W3U1600HQ-2G (9-9-9-24) ($75)
gpu: ZOTAC GeForce GTS 450 ZT-40501-10L [PCIExp 1GB] ($124) (getting this so that gaming could be viable)
psu: corsair 550vx ($66)
hdd: samsung 500gb hd502sj ($37)
case: either nzxt vulcan or m59 ($91 and $80 respectively)
optical: cheapest i can find ($10-$20)
total: approximately $573
Thats about it. Need help with cooler as I'm not totally sure as to what can fit in those cases. Any suggestion would be great, just name the part so I could search for it here (although memory will be kind of limited). As you can probably tell I'm going for cheap and viable. The prices are approximates as I converted 1:1 yen to usd. Hopefully I can drive down prices. Thanks in advance guys.
