Building a computer for gaming

The only choices I question are the case which has only a 250w power supply, and the motherboard which doesn't have much expandability.

You can buy the OS from them. Get the OEM version, it's cheaper. It just doesn't have a box or instructions but it's the same as the $200 version.

I have to agree with Crash, the P/S is too weak, nothing less than a 450w good brand.

alright so how is this power supply?

If you buy a cheap one that says xxxW, they usually won't deliver what they promise.
If you are looking to build one for the long run this site has some of the best.

Personally, I would buy a 600 to 650w Antec, it'll last through many upgrades.

AMD is faster/cheaper- especially socket 754
Get the best power supply you can afford..

hello, i am thinking of building a better computer for gaming. here are the stuff i picked out. i am new to building computers so some of the stuff might not be compatible or sumthin. please tell me if there is something else ill need like cables and things like that...

It is most unlikely that you'll need any extra cables or things like that. You'll get plenty supplied with your motherboard and most other parts anyway.

I assume you want to build your own primarely because of the upgrade options you'll have. If that is so, I'd suggest not to opt for the Micro form factor. Get a Midi tower instead with the appropriate size motherboard.
You'll be less restricted in your choice of parts in the future and a larger case/enclosure is much easier to work with.

alright these are the new componets i picked out after i talked to my uncle about building a computer (hes built computers before)

and the memory, video card and hard drive are the same as above

BIOSTAR TForce6100-939 Socket 939 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Rosewill R114A-BLK 2-Tone Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Rosewill 400W ATX with P4 support, 20-pin Main connector Power

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see how your Micro Motherboard is going to fit nicely into your Mid Tower Case.

where it says mother board compatibility it says micro atx

"Motherboard Compatibility Micro ATX, ATX Size up to 11"x 12"

Thanks for pointing that out - I never saw it.

Good luck 🙂
