mATX?

[FlamingForce]

Hello, I'm working on a SFF case build (using the NZXT rogue) and I'm looking for a good mATX motherboard to put in there, the SFF case fits large GPU's, So I'm hoping that I can put a HD4870 or something along those lines in there, along with a E8400 Core 2 Duo.

Can anyone help me with this?

I would ge this if you need a higher end board. Its the only micro-ATX P45 board stocked on Newegg. Its basically a very compact fully featured board.

If not then a G31 based board will do

So, I'm going for a SFF build, however I don't know for sure which parts to use, so far I've got this.

MOBO: DFI Lanparty JR P45-T2RS
CPU: Intel E8400
GPU: Sapphire HD4850 512MB
Case: NZXT Rogue
RAM: OCZ Gold OCZ2G8004GK (DDR2 800)

That's about it..I'm still not 100% sure on my choice of RAM, and I don't know what HDD, PSU and optical drive to use..Am I missing anything else besides those?

Any other ideas for the PSU..? I'm from the Netherlands, newegg (sadly) is a no-go for me, and I can't seem to find that particular PSU over here.

Well, get a 500 - 600W PSU from a good brand. That will give you some room to expand in the future. Check out this article on PSUs. Basically anything in this article is quality. And all the PSUs there fit your system.

As for hard drives, I would pick up the one I linked, its one of the fastest currently on the market. In the case of the ram, pick up a good PC6400 kit (4 gigs is recommended since its so cheap now, especially since you look like your going to be gaming with that card). You really don't need anything more than PC6400 as anything more generally gives you very marginal performance increases. Lastly, for the optical drive, pick up whatever is cheapest or looks best. Not much to compare there.

Just out of curiorisity, which part of the Netherlands do you stay? I used to live in Dan Haag myself for 5 years. I love that country to bits , especially since those 5 years consisted of much of my early years.

I live in Rheden, not one of the most well-known places in the Netherlands, never went to Den Haag..You speak Dutch?

EDIT: Btw, how is this for a PSU?

Well, yes, thats a very good choice. And Cossair sells their PSUs pretty cheap in Europe too

Lol. Ive never been to Rheden, and I speak a little. Forgot most of it since I never use it but my dad does.. Anyway I went to the British School in the Netherlands so we didnt really learn much Dutch

Corsair is a very reliable PSU you can't go wrong with it
