This semester, I wanted to make a new computer using a pelican case or an aluminum case with a monitor inside it too. I need some suggestion on motherboard, a graphics card and a cpu. I was hoping to make a pc that is capable of playing Call of Duty Black Ops. What are your guys inputs?

what is your budget?

ninjamonkey · « **Reply #2 on:** November 21, 2010, 10:30:15 AM »

Around 400$ or so and you dont really need to worry about a case. I plan to put it into a pelican case or something a long those lines.

no offense but are you aware how much a pelican case costs? your going to need more than $400 for one the size your talking about. you may want to rethink your case idea. or get more money

ninjamonkey · « **Reply #4 on:** November 25, 2010, 06:20:42 PM »

I know how much they are. I have found a decent motherboard for $54, a quad core processor for $120, $90 graphics card. Those together add up to $254. RAM isn't terribly expensive and the case is a hundred bucks or so more. I dont mind going a little over.

do it to it! just double and triple check that your parts are compatible. you might think about getting a bare bones set up from newegg or tiger direct. you can pick up a motherboard cpu combo for some decent prices. there are sites that also sell motherboard trays or you can all ways cut up a donor case and use its mobo tray. keep us informed ive allways wanted a pelican case but not to build a computer in it just to safely transport my computer and lcd to lan parties

What would be a good cooling fan for a gaming computer using a quad core processor??

Ennon · « **Reply #7 on:** November 28, 2010, 01:51:21 PM »

I'm a Thermaltake fan.

Tec_ · « **Reply #8 on:** November 28, 2010, 10:23:12 PM »

are you talking case fans or heatsink and fans?

ninjamonkey · « **Reply #9 on:** November 29, 2010, 09:39:54 PM »

Well I was talking about heatinks and fans, but some case fan suggestions would be good too.

Tec_ · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2010, 09:19:28 AM »

can not go wrong with a cooler masters, Zalman, and OCZ.

ninjamonkey · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2010, 03:00:31 PM »

OCZ seems good for this case. THoe people apply for case fans too???

Tec_ · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2010, 03:48:35 PM »

depends on if your going lit or not. for regular fans i would go with apevia, scythe, silverstone, cooler masters, or antec

ninjamonkey · « **Reply #13 on:** December 06, 2010, 08:26:52 PM »

probably not lit would be ok. I was thinking, is there away to extend all the port on the back of the motherboard? like would I have to make a cable for each one of the ports or is there something I could buy pre-made that could do the job for me??

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #14 on:** December 07, 2010, 08:48:23 AM »

If AMD processor, I'm guessing it would be a phenom or athlon, keep the fan, it's actually quite good. Any how are you putting the monitor in? Are you going to remove the LCD and make a permanent internal connection to the GPU?

well you may be able to find extension cables like male to female cables. (the regular are male to male as ports are female) but making them is going to be more trouble than its worth.

Anyone here use hard drive cooling fans or just case in-take fans with blow the air passed the hard drive in turn cooling it?

aZiZ1 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 02, 2011, 08:27:07 PM »

i dont see u needing hard drive cooling fans if there are intake fans which blow through the hard drive and then into the system.(this design is on ALMOST every single case ever created) I wouldn't spend a dime on *hard drive cooling fans* Friend bought three for 3 different hard drives and all three fans(6 80mm fans) are all busted. Dont do it.

Is cooler master psu a worth to buy?

aZiZ1 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 14, 2011, 03:48:58 PM »

cooler masters are decent, however after purchasing a corsair psu, i will never ever recommend another psu to purchase. i recommend corsair. Hands down.

No you didn't. The 2 main parts you do not want to skimp out on are a PSU and mobo. Find a better one that isn't dirt cheap, because it's not gonna suck. Also post the parts that you found so we can critique them. If this is your first build, you're going to have a lot of problems and no one wants to buy parts just to find out they're incompatible.

Corsair TX series, they're highly rated. I have 2, 1 powers my desktop and 1 powers my server.
