This is the motherboard you picked:NVIDIATIoh, I see. I thought you were talking about the case.
And thats a Micro ATX....NVIDIATIno, it isn't.
Like the person said "Watch Big video cards with the SATA and IDE ports, could get in the way, specially with dual slot cards."NVIDIATIthat has more to do with cable management than space (where his motherboard had those ports).
You plan on having someone put a 5850 in there :shock:NVIDIATII have a 5850, I know how big it is. not much bigger than an ATX motherboard.
Because its using some really low quality parts such as a BIOSTAR motherboard, and AllComponents ram. Also its not that good for the price. And it has a 430w PSU which is pushing it with a 5850 which requires a 500w PSU.NVIDIATIall parts have 4 or 5 egg ratings. imo, it is good for the price. I would definitely trust it to power a 5850; a 5850 does not need 500w.
Stop posting that rig :xNVIDIATIwhy?
People using adapters on such a low wattage psu with high ended hardware arent being smart.04dcarraherI don't care if you think I'm being smart. I know it can be done and I'd do it.
You might as well spend the extra $40-$50 because The Phenom 2 is on average is 20% faster then the Athlon II X4 and some cases even upto 40% because of the L3 cache. Heres an example with a GTX 260, and also the 5850 are much faster you would see the same type of gaps seen here.04dcarraherthat res doesn't matter to me; show 1080p graphs. and not from Tom's, please. :)
