Hi, I plan to build a desktop using:
Processor : I5
Ram: DDR3 4gb
Motherboard: p8b75 m-le / p8z 77
Graphic card: GT 440 ddr5
PSU: cooler master 550w / 500w

I really need help on motherboard. Should i get a small board or big board? and for graphic card, if i using gt440 is it good enough? how about power supply? does it enough with 500w?

The i5 2400 is not an OCing CPU, so you can do with an H67 series mobo. There are several H67/H61 mobos that are excellent. Here are two:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%20600093976%20600100186&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280%7C13%2D121%2D507%5E13%2D121%2D507%2DTS%2C13%2D131%2D711%5E13%2D131%2D711%2DTS
Here are some Z77 if you want to go with the latest chipset: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%20600093976%20600315497&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280%7C13%2D138%2D355%5E13%2D138%2D355%2D02%23%2C13%2D130%2D644%5E13%2D130%2D644%2D02%23%2C13%2D157%2D293%5E13%2D157%2D293%2D02%23%2C13%2D138%2D352%5E13%2D138%2D352%2D02%23%2C13%2D128%2D544%5E13%2D128%2D544%2D02%23

Thank you and Sorry for the late reply..

Procesosr: I5 2400/ 2500
Motherboard: P8H61USB3
Ram: DDR3 4gb
Graphic card: ENGT440/DI/1GD5
PSU: Cooler master 550w
Casing: Cooler master elite 431plus / Elite 310

Which one do u recommend for that can last for about 5 yrs..
processor 2400 or 2500;
which casing is better and
do you think PSU 550w is too much or should i get 500w is enough ( going to have 2 hard disk )
