Help With Gaming Rig

[davideugenepeterson]

I assembled this Computer System on Newegg, I just wanted to make sure everything is compatible. (Right processor type, correct PSU, Enough space in case, Cooling problems ETC...)

I was also wondering if this rig could play any of these games on their max settings: Battlefield 3, Metro 2066, Crysis 1/2, Starcraft 2. If not, what changes would need to be made?

when I click on your links it shows the case and RAM as being de-activated

In general though
Google for reviews of the case .

You can use an ATX motherboard so you might as well . The m-ATX board wont affect performance but it limits expansion

The green hard drive is slower to boot and load than a standard drive and wont save any noticeable amount of power . Use a samsung F3 instead , and perhaps an SSD as a boot drive

I had an extra "]" in the URL. The links should work now.

A motherboard like this Asrock model makes more sense for future upgrades

I would also question spending so much on internal hardware and so little on a case .
But I havent seen the model you are looking at
