qpack2 build?

[HasteTheMoment]

Im getting a qpack2...since it seems to be cheapest mATX case. Whats the best mboard,gfx card, processor, psu, sound card, hd i can fit in ....

The main problem with the XQPack case is that the price and case includes a SHITTY PSU. So if you go with the XQpack, DO NOT USE THAT PSU FOR EVEN A SECOND.

Anyway, we need these questions answered or we cannot help you:
- What's your budget?
- What are you planning on doing with this PC?
- What size is your monitor?
- Will you be overclocking?
- What features do you need on the motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Legacy ports? etc.

yeah true. Any small case will work.

Budget, depends. Building it over time. So no more than 350 for gfx card, and 200 for processor
Gaming, photo video editing
Either a 24" or 2 duals..
Might oc a tad but since a small case will overheat more than full tower im not sure.

Building it over time.

I don't recommend doing that because by time your build is up and running, the parts you've paid for may have dropped in price by then. So in reality, you're actually losing money that way. If by time you mean a month, that's fine. But if it's longer than a month, I recommend holding onto the money and saving it up until you can buy it all at once. Only spend if there's a really awesome deal on the part.

In addition, I don't recommend budgeting for specific parts because often times that limits and extremely skews your parts selection. You may get a $200 CPU when you actually need a $130 CPU. So I recommend budgeting for the entire PC. So what's your budget for the entire PC? How much money can you spend on a PC right now? How much can you spend in a month? etc.
