This is the first desktop I am buying, I usually go with laptops and I put together this and wanted to get some feedback on it.

I'm not sure if that case can handle the V8 properly.
Anyway, what's the budget we're looking at? The resolution of the monitor you are looking to use? And the general uses for the computer?

My budget is 2,200 and I don't have a moniter yet but I think I am going with 1900x1200. My main purpose is gaming. Does the case really matter for the pc?

Oh ya, case matters for space, air circulation, ease of upgrading, placement of parts. Lots of reasons. Generally why the HAF 932 is recommended so much despite it's odd aesthetics. Does that 2200 include the monitor or just the tower?

the 900 is a mid tower case and can hinder your temps.
for 1900 x 1200 you need 2 gpus and the more room the better.

Just the tower.
Will 100 mbps be enough for some no lag online gaming? Edited by zmank - 29 Jul 2009 at 1:59pm |

lags with online games has more to do your internet connection, and the server you are connecting to.
yes you can connect to your tv provided your can support it. |
