My bad. He already has a video card and monitor to.Here are the motherboard specs.

Am I forgetting anything? What case would be good for this system?

cabling if any is needed? maybe go with some rounded cables, they help airflow and alot easyer to keep wiring tidy with them aswell.

[Triadcool]

What cabling do you think ill need? I am going to salvage parts and stuff from there older computer? Can I use those ones? The power supply comes with wires and hard drives come with wires.

[Livy]

most mobo usually come with a ide and fdd cable, and youll have ones from the old system aswell, but they are pretty cheap of ebuyer, only about £2

[Triadcool]

Ok sweet. Im going to find the rest of the parts I need then ill come back on here and ask you if all the parts will work together and what not.

[Triadcool]

What would be a good case for this motherboard. I want the motherboard and everything else to fit in the case without having to drill holes and stuff? Thanks
