you still need a good power supply, an OS, and a DVD drive.

there's no way to get all of that under $700 with your current selection of parts. If you up your budget by $100, it will work.

[Mr.Game]

The motherboard in that combo is MicroATX.

The case holds both ATX and MicroATX motherboards.

Graphics card is good.


The question:
Do you want a MicroATX case to match your motherboard,
or an ATX motherboard to match your case?


Here is a basic comparison between the two:

MicroATX only allows you to expand with 4 PCI slots.
ATX allows much more, I think it's 7.

All i am wondering now is, what HDD and PSU. Budget i want is under 700 thank you.

All good choices if you ask me.

For power supply, i recommend:

Antec True Power New 650w

650w is WAY more than you need, but the 550w version is more expensive. For $69.99 after coupon, this PSU cannot be beat. 80+ bronze, Partial modularity, Based on Seasonic S12II, it is really a great deal, WAY better than anything Corsair can offer in this price range.
