What i've brought is - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180435176905&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
In the info it says it requires a 945/955 chipset, so im guessing i'll need a bored with a 945/955 chipset? Ones i've been looking at are G41 + ICH7 chipset, so im guessing there not compatable?
I'm having trouble finding a good reliable mobo with a 945/955 chipset, looking to get 4gb ram in it with a 9500gt.

Anyone got any suggestion for a good mobo?

The board manufacturers site will have a CPU support list most G41 /P43 /P45 boards will run a PD 920.

 

[Louis101993]

Would a Asus P5QPL-VM EPU be able to run that CPU?

No Asus is dropping support for older CPU's see if you can find one of these> http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Model.aspx?ProductID=3119#anchor_os

This one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gigabyte-GA-G...QQptZUK_Motherboards_CPUs?hash=item4cebf261a0

 

[Wrench97]

Yep that one.

 

[Louis101993]

Brought it, thanks for the help, probley gonna need some help soon, i'll re-post in builders section though.

 

[Louis101993]

And by the mobo saying 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x 4, does this mean im going to have trouble putting a 9500gt/Radeon 4670 (Havn't decided which yet, reccomendations accepted)?

 

[Wrench97]

That's pretty standard on G31/G41 boards, for either of those 2 cards it will be fine anything larger will not perform to it's full ability.

 

[Louis101993]

Which one would you say better, from the research i've been doing, Radeon 4670 is better i think.

 

[Wrench97]

The 4670 mainly because it has GDDR3 for ram on the card.

 

[Louis101993]

I'll probley get the radeon then, along with 2x2gb corsair ram i think, and a X-Cruiser ATX Gaming PC Case with Ezcool 800W PSU, 800watts will be enoguh to keep it all running smooth, also will i need any extra fans, there a big one at the front of the case built int, also gonna have a CPU and GPU fan.

 

[Wrench97]

Drop the wattage down a get a quality Seasonic or Corsair supply 550w-600w range.

EZCool PSU's are not good quality. That case is also very low quality and made from very thin material.
The CPU & GPU will come with a cooling fan.
