    Budget Build for Android Dev and Some Gaming

    I really like the look of the fractal designs case and that it is a smaller micro atx case. I just noticed something interesting about the board I went with. It says that it does support K CPUs. I thought H61 didn't allow overclocking...

    Thats a shame. I love the intel x25-m I have in my laptop so much. SSDs are hard to quit once you start. Does everything look solid on the build though? Its been a long time since I have a had a rig and I am very excited.

    So I haven't received everything yet but I decided to to order some replacement parts and just return the things I made some mistakes on. Sorry, for not waiting for everyone's advice. I definitely jumped the gun. I will just have to $30 dollar shipping and restocking fee hit. CPU: Intel...

    I just ordered the second PS you recommended. I guess this is my tax for rushing and not paying attention. I want to play Deus Ex so badly.

    Given that I am not planning on adding more than an SSD to this machine in the future should I order another power supply and return the other one? If its dangerous I would rather pay the 15% restocking fee.

    I just compared the details between the NEO and the power supply I bought the one I purchased is better in almost every aspect.

    Its already shipped. I really am not worried about PSU from Antec thats continuous power rating is 50 watts more than the recommended amount of wattage straight from XFX's website for the 6870. I mean come on, the thing has 478 reviews with a 5 egg average. What exactly makes it bad? I am not...

    So here is what I ended up going with. I spent slightly more than I had planned but I used a Newegg Preferred Account to get 12 months no interest and $15 off per $100. ASRock Mobo, with Sata III, USB 3.0, and HDMI $74.99 XFX AMD 6870 with a free copy of Shogun and Deus Ex! $189.99 Intel...

    Can I get away with keeping a card that large in a micro-atx case or should stick with mid towers? I am thinking of just grabbing an antec 300.

    Does the Biostar board support front USB 3.0?

    Budget Build for Android Dev and Some Gaming

    Im thinking I do want USB 3.0. I noticed that the MSI H61 E35 supports it and a front panel USB 3.0 connector. I haven't been able to find any cases with that though. It still doesn't support SATA III though. I will probably put an SSD boot drive in at some point. Are the new SATA III jobs...

    Budget Build for Android Dev and Some Gaming

    I might be pulling the trigger on a used i3-2100 and MSI H61-P23 someone offered me after reading this thread. They should run me about $100 shipped. Does anyone know the difference between the various MSI H61 boards? They have a P21, P23, E33 that all seem to be the same. Anyway, the used...

    How does this compare to an i3 2100 system with an H61?
