motherboard & graphic card

[jpav360]

This is my first time using any forums so plz bare with me. This is also my first build.I am in looking for a motherboard/ graphicthat I can run any game at high resolution. I also do video editing. I will need to be able to run 2 monitors. I am looking for about a medium price range So far I have acquired a few pieces.

Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold - 1200W Power Supply

Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz LGA 1155 95W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I72600

Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD3000HLHX 300GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

CM Storm Sniper - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case with Fan Controller

That's all I have acquired, if I need to make any more purchase or missing anything just let me know.

whats the form factor for the case? this determines the size of the motherboard you can use. also, have you already purchased these other parts?

 

[jpav360]

It says Micro ATX / ATX , yes I own them

 

[jpav360]

But I easily replace them. I got them for free

because i dont know what a "medium budget" means to you i chose a good brand mobo and a geforce 780 3GB video card. this card should have no problem handling two monitors while playing games. unless you want to SLI two cards id have to choose a different motherboard

 

[xbizzaroz]

sorry just saw that the mobo i chose has 2 pci-e slots so no worries there if you want to SLI 2 cards in the future

 

[jpav360]

$700 would be the most I would want spend but you got it under with money to spare . Would it be beneficial to upgrade the MoBo to my max amount $?

this would do you well. it has a better chipset in the motherboard. is it possible to post a link to the case you have? i cant find it anywhere. regardless if it says mATX/ ATX you should have no problem with any mobo in there. my main concern is if the video card will fit haha

 

[jpav360]

This link should work. http://m.newegg.com/Product?itemNumber=N82E16811119194

The tower itself is probably two yrs old

 

[xbizzaroz]

judging from the pictures you should be in the clear however it may be a tight squeeze. it also looks like you can take out some of the drive bays (i could be wrong) to create more space if needed. i mean, you have the case right? can you take out the drive bays?

 

[jpav360]

I can, just in case I do run into space problems can you link a tower that wouldnt have any problems something under 150

 

[xbizzaroz]

if you can take out the bays then dont worry. i wish the best of luck with your build!
