Will you be using it for gaming as the onboard graphics will be fine for HD play back.

agree, for the same or slighty more you can buy better/faster/more reliable.


also with that motherboard it has pretty decent onboard graphics capable of full hd so unless your gonna be hardcore gaming i would remove the graphics card and put towards something else.

You should seriously look at a Gigabyte MB as you may be able to unlock a couple of cores of your CPU and get a quad for almost half price. You could also get a 550w modular corsair PSU for similar money. If you have the room get a case that takes a full ATX mobo, you won't regret it
