So I'm trying to build my family a computer that will actually run (they've been working on a 10 year old system). They've got a pretty tight budget, target range is between $500 and $600. I had an idea for parts and this was it....unfortunately the case has been discontinued and the video card is out of stock indefinitely. (I use newegg for my supplies)
First off, is this a good system or am I way off-base?
Second, what's a good case that would hold about 4 HDDs and 2 ROM drives/burners and what's a good substitute for the video card?
Case: APEVIA X-TELSTAR-GN Green/ Black Computer Case (discontinued)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce 9800 GT HDMI 01G-P3-N988-TR Video Card (won't ever exist again)
Power Supply: Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-450 450W ATX12V/EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD
Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Processor: AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2GHz Socket AM3 Triple-Core Desktop Processor
Sound Card: ASUS XONAR_DG Xonar DG Sound Card
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory
This computer is mostly used for internet work and occasional gaming/heavy rendering software (eg. MMD, TF2, Amnesia, etc.) Any help would be appreciated.
