I'm trying to upgrade my system on the installment plan: buying and building as I can afford it while keeping the system functional. What I want to ultimately have is a good/great gaming system that will last as long as possible and still be able to afford to eat while I build it. Looks like the best place to start is by getting a decent motherboard, a bigger case (hopefully less than 18.5 inches tall), and at least a 350 watt PSU.
I've seriously been considering starting with a Giga-Byte GA-7VAXP (http://www.giga-byte.com/products/7vaxp.htm) for the mobo but that also means starting out buying DDRam as well. Are there any decent mobos in the same class that will let me use my SDRam untill I can afford the DDR?
Am open to suggestions on the case but I'm not too fussy there as long as it is relatively inexpensive and will do the job. If it don't look pretty I can always mod it or hide it :geek:.
Thanks in advance for your assistance and remember functionality and reasonable priceing are my primary goals.
