New build advice ...

[lonewulf44]

Finally getting able to start building a new machine after a few years stretching my old comp. Just wanted to know any concerns or comments over the following components. Primarily I"m worried about the space in my case and on the Mobo with that fat card. Also, my last three builds have been Asus Mobo's and would like to stick with them pending any concerns. Just a mid-range economical build ... thoughts? Thanks,

ASUS M2N-E AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

EVGA 512-P3-N807-AR GeForce 8800GT AKIMBO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

You'll probably get more of a response in the General Hardware forum. That's where these kinds of posts generally go, and there's a sticky there with questions for you to answer that you're about to get asked anyway.

Thanks, I'll try to migrate over there. My concern was really with the motherboard and its physical configuration possibly obstruction or being obstructed with a larger graphics card like the one listed. I can only see pictures and can't tell if the length is enough or if components might be touch with any overlap in the Graphics cards width. Just worried as space is always a premium with ATX.
