Gaming value rig

[PhoenixUK]

Hello there,

I'm about to upgrade my old good 3700+ san diego.

Got this on my mind

I need new case so I think this will be ok ( I like tons of space ).
Also the case, PSU and the spinpoint will be staying with me for the next upgrade later on thats why its a bit better than the other parts .

I am not sure about the memory and mobo.

Purpose, gaming, general use, also I'm hoping for at least 3.2 clock on this CPU ( will try to push it as much as possible tho ).

I'm gonna change the CPU/mobo/memory/GPU probably shortly after Nehalem, or when AMD maybe strikes back with something good again so these parts dont have to keep for too long ( hence nothing more expensive ).


Any input is appreciated !


Cheers

Phoenix

Never had this motherboard so i have no idea, hope it can handle some 3.0+ OC.
The case is subject to change if you know anything else that's big ( and I like it literally BIG - so no mid towers) and practical .
