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

Revisions 1.4+3.0 of this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-409-GI&groupid=701&catid=1903&subcat=2046

Support that CPU, ask OcUK which one they have in stock?

If its 1.0/1.1, 1.2, 1.3 then the CPU does not appear on the CPU support list.

so that will fit i just need to wait untill its in stock, sorry i just no absolutely nothing all these numbers mean jack to me

That has support for the cpu.

okay will this then work with everything else in the computer? and what graphics card could be added to it!

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

 

[jamie4696]

No OS.

What res, will you be playing WOW at?

WoW? i wont be playing that literally will be minecraft maybe with mods like feed the beast but thats it

 

[jamie4696]

i dont understand why my motherboard will not fir my processor?

 

[jamie4696]

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)

Right okay Thankyou I was looking at it and it seems to fit but okay that's where I was going wrong, Thankyou. I might have to save a bit more an look into the build posted above
