Right off the assembly line
Hello Guys,

I need to build myself a new rig, old one just went dead.

I have zeroed in on

CPU: AMD 1055T 95W
MotherBoard: GA-890GPA-UD3H

Is my selection good considering, I want to make it a gaming machine, of-course after installing a DirectX 11 3D game card.

I also needed some advice on a good airy cabinet ( without power supply ) to go with it.

I am based in Delhi.

A prompt advice would be most welcome.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Sunny,

I have already selected the CPU, MB but I am really confused regarding a good cabinet for that. Also I just wanted a second opinion about the CPU/MB combination for a gaming rig. I didn't go for 890FX as it is expensive for me and also I will need to buy a Graphic Card which I'll do later, maybe after 3-4 months.

Thanks
