Please help me with what Hardware I need.

Hi Guys.

I've decided that I would like to build a machine suitable for gaming, however I would like a low profile case.

I have selected Scans Isotope case (Link Below). Would it be possible for you guys to help me look at suitable hardware that would fit in the case, including a decent graphics card. I have already got an AMD Phenon II CPU and a 1T Samsung Sata Harddrive.

I understand with choosing such a small case would come with a sacrifice however would like to compromise and have the best possible hardware inside it.

Thanks everyone.

Best to post in the scan forum!

The description says a M-ATX will fit and any atx psu but recomend a modular one. You havent mentioned a budget so here goes:

Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 AMD 880G AM3 Motherboard £71:86

NZXT HALE90650M Hale90 650W Modular gold 90%eff £98:74

Sapphire HD6870 AMD 1 gig £150:82

Or if you need more power

ScanFX HD6950 AMD / ATI Graphics Card - 2GB £189:23 <-- bargain IMHO

Corsair Memory Vengeance Blue 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CAS 9 £73:34

Dont know if you have a low profiel cooler :

Scythe Shuriken Rev.B Quiet Low Profile Cooler 3 Heat Pipe £26:03

hope this helps and isnt to ott as the case isnt exactly a cheapy.

Thank you, you've been a great help.

I've got a budget of £500, I've already got a modular power supply shown below so hope that fits. And I also got memory shown below, so really its just the motherboard board now as that graphics card is fantastic value. Do you know of an more powerful motherboard?

The MSI has a better chipset on it but im not sure I would say its better.

MSI 890GXM-G65 AMD 890GX AM3

It also has USB 3 but will allow the use of crossfire where the Asus wont. It all depends upon what you want.

Your ram is a little OTT but very nice and the PSU is superb as I own the 750w model :)
