Who did that spec?

Theres a few things I dont like.

• DVD-ROM, a burner is a few £ more.
• There are three revisions of that motherboard, neither of them say they have support for that CPU.



• The case is nasty.

okay well im not to bothered about the case. and the dvd rom isnt important either, and okay can you recommend a different motherboard

Might help if we know what your total budget is, that way we could possibly put together a better build.
Do you have any components that can be reused or an OS?
Also, what will be the main uses for this new system?

Okay I recently did another thread and this build was quoted and I really like the 8 core and 16gb as it is mainly video editing and recording for YouTube. Ony small games like minecraft will be played, I only have a total of at tops £480. I have no spare parts so from scratch really

Okay I like it just a bit over budget because ideally £500 with OS included

It will physically fit YES.

But if the motherboards BIOS doesnt recognize what the CPU is, then you will either have a board that wont start up or maybe will run oddly (reduced performance/speeds)
