A guy built me a system with that newegg mother board in it and then i am lookin at zipzoomfly's prices and they seem to be cheaper overall. And the one he built me with the newegg motherboard had a AMD Athlon 64, 3200+ Winchestor Core 939 pin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am curious to will this setup work for a gaming computer. I am not looking to overclock. I am not looking to do extreme stuff. I am looking to buy a system that runs games and thats it i do not care about overclocking etc.. atm. Just need to know if this setup right here will work and if anything is wrong with it that it will not work when i buy it please let me know.

*Concerned about it due to the fact that the motherboard said it requires atx 2.0 power supply or something and its an amd board but that case says it has an ATX power supply ready for p4..? Will it still work or do i need another power supply*

*If i am missing anything or will need something that i haven't added or forgot or something is compatiable with something please let me know* Please don't start tryin to throw me things to be able to overclock or w/e because i don't care about that atm. I just need a computer to run games such as BF1942 nice and smooth. Every part i listed i believe is everything needed to build a tower and install windows and drivers correct?
 
Everything looks good...except the PSU. Even if it comes with the case I would get a different one or maybe even get a Lian Li case with a nice 400-500W Antec or Enermax.
 
Wow i do not wana spend more then 80$ on a gaming case. Does anybody have a idea for a case that work with that setup including the power supply for less then 80$ off of zipzoomfly.com
