Wont work as you have a Intel CPU with a AMD Motherboard.

Edit: what is your budget.

Sparx · 13 Apr 2009 at 14:44

You would have issues putting that processor into the CPU socket with that motherboard.

You might want a power supply with that as well by the way, and a hard drive - oh and maybe an optical drive?

Not sure what you already have or are using..

Oops, clicked the wrong one! Lol ok well say the motherboard is this

My spec pwns.

siumatfung · 13 Apr 2009 at 15:39

erm haj your spec is over budget buddy

mjones1 · 13 Apr 2009 at 16:27

daniel_bourton · 13 Apr 2009 at 17:55

+! for amd if you can afford it but it is way over budget lol
so u could easily get a nice intel for that money lol

icey_haj · 13 Apr 2009 at 18:07

Yes its over budget, but you guys have to admit its a very good spec, for what, a £100 more?

Plus, it's more 'future proof'. Socket 775 is going out, whereas AM3 motherboards will be compatible with the newer AMD CPUs coming out.

siumatfung · 13 Apr 2009 at 18:13

i would really like to know how long amd are going to be keeping that socket although i do agree it is more future proof, however i dont think the 775 socket cpu's are inferior in anyway whatsoever

icey_haj · 13 Apr 2009 at 18:23

What's the point of going with a very average Intel system, when you could have a very good AMD system?

http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-phenom-ii-x4-810-and-x3-720be-review-am3/25

The 720 performs very well.

siumatfung · 13 Apr 2009 at 18:27

well he said in an earlier thread he wants to go quadcore me and kenny had a right laugh check it out

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17997835

you've read the thread yourself

icey_haj · 13 Apr 2009 at 18:30

Oh yes, I remember now.

Well like I said in that thread fungus, he needs £500-600 for a reasonable Quad system. No point getting him a quad with a carp mobo etc.

siumatfung · 13 Apr 2009 at 18:52

i was just fulfilling his needs and requirements plus me and kenny were having a laugh yesterday as he was way hungover and went to bed early hahaaha
