Hello everyone. I'm trying to build a gaming PC for Windows 98 and I found it very difficult to do so, as it's quite hard to find the specific hardwares. I found some, but not sure if they're compatible.
GPU: Nvidia FX5500 256MB 128Bit DDR (DirectX 9.0) AGP 8x
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (Toledo) ADA3700DKA5CF
RAM: 2x 512 Mb DDR400 RAM
Motherboard: Asus A8V-MX
PSU: 250W
HDD: 80 GB 7200 RPM
So, even if it seems like my main problem is to find GPU's like Voodoo 2-3, CPU's like Pentium III, I can replace them with FX5500 and AMD Athlon 64, but I cannot find any compatible motherboards, unless. I sadly cannot buy anything from Ebay, Amazon and such, as USD is way too expensive in my country, I can only buy things from a Turkish website called "Sahibinden.com". First of all, I'd like to ask if I buy these hardwares, would it be possible to work? Would that GPU and CPU can make me play games such as "Diablo, Simcity 3000, Doom, Sims 1, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Duke Nukem, Warcraft 3, Theme Hospital, Simcity 4, Planescape, Midtown Madness, Virtua Cop, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Age of Empires, Half-Life, Fifa 98, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, Red Alert, Zoo Tycoon etc."? But actually, I want to play any kind of DOS games without having any trouble. Resolution is not problem, I can play on 640 x 480, doesn't really matter. Would it be okay, if I replace AMD with Pentium IV? Which other GPU's and Motherboards I can use for this purpose of use?
As it's my firs post here, I want to thank you all already for the help!
