Hey, I am building a barebone kit computer for the first time. Its going to be a very low budget computer built to play a few games and handle them decently well games such as World of Warcraft, and Command & Conquer 3. I found a nice looking barebone kit on tigerdirect.com but i noticed it didn't come with a cpu fan. Being the complete noob at building computers (having never built one before) I don't know of a good cpu fan to but or what to look for all I know is the socket is an AM2 and its an AMD 64 X2 4200+ 2.2 ghz processor. I was looking around and just wasn't sure what a good cpu fan for a moderate gaming pc would be. Any advise is accepted, just please remember I have never built a computer before so I have a very limited knowledge of things. Also that this is a budget pc and Im trying not to go over $50 on the fan. This is the kit I was looking at if you know of anything better at a lower price please feel free to tell me where to look I will take any advise I can get. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4196649&CatId=31 Also would anyone happen to know anything about this video card? Or if it would work with the motherboard I listed above. I really want a card with an HDMI port on it so I can plug it into a small HDTV I have. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4120368&CatId=28 Thank you for your time, and reading my question!
Hi there!, that AMD sounds perfect for your needs even the 6100 built in could probably run WOW perfectly but to be on the safe side, a graphics card would be best. that graphics card is PCI-Express 2.0 and should work on your board perfectly. your bare bones pc could be quite a powerhouse. as for cooling almost any CPU cooler that fits will work as all are built to a specification that companies must adhere to. i recommend a copper based cooler as copper is more conductive. i dont know your price range so this should be good Masscool CPU Cooler hope this helps a bit Thanks Joe
