Well I'm planning to build a comp, but I'm mostly concerned about the motherboard xD

I was thinking of getting this:

Motherboard
Gigabyte GA-MA780GM-UD2H - moederbord - micro ATX - AMD 780G

Processor
AMD Phenom II X4 920

Ram
Corsair Dominator TWIN2X PC8500 4GB DDR2Kit w/2x 2GB XMS2-8500 dimm's, CL5-5-5-15, 1066MHz, E.P.P, DHX, with FAN

Power supply
Corsair Powersupply 650W Black, ATX/EPS,120mm Fan, 8xSATA, SLI

Hard disk
Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB SATA2

graphics card
Club3D Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E,Overclocked Edition, DVI/VGA, HDCP, HDMI

What more should I get or change? I thought about maybe changing the motherboard for a: Asus P5QC, P45, Socket-775, DDR2/3,ATX, GbLAN, Firewire, PCI-Ex(2.0)16. I don't really know xD I build my broke down comp with the ex of my older sister, wich is.... impossible now

[EDIT] My first choice motherboard has a build in Ati Radeon HD 3200, so is it possible to just use my current videocard with it? ATI RADEON 9800 128mb (it sux, I know.... ).

wait about 2 months for directx11 graphic card to come out, and then build your comp =D

Ditch the q8200, get a q9550.

LGA775 is dieing, in fact, it's dead when the i5 releases which could be this month even, so you might want to get the best perfomance you can get on this "old" rig.

Soul_Hunter · 08-18-2009, 11:16 AM

What SnOwBunZz said, get the q9550.
Where do you live? I wonder if there is microcenter in your area, then you can pick this up for $170

Well I live in the netherlands xD
but the comp isn't completely for playing games to be honest.
Mostly to set up Fruityloops and whatsoever, I just want to use it to play FFXIV next year. I think this would actually do it?

With what I have now it would cost €755,50 and my budget is €800,- , That is with a graphics card ofcourse! I don't know if the thing that comes with the motherboard is good (well it's probably bad xD).

I really need to stop scanreading.

Intel CPUs won't fit into AMD sockets and AMD ones won't fit in Intel ones. So if you want the q8200, get the asus one. If you want the phenom x2 920, get the gigabyte one.

Edit: seems like you edited. It will fit.

WTB> book "how to read".

Edit2: clarified post.

YEah I edited xD
At first I was just checking the prices and wanted to combine good stuff that was cheap xD I already got my comp stuff and I'm allowed to order it + a new monitor, comp costs total of €603,50 and everything fits ;D With a monitor it will cost €772,50.

Budget? Usage, and how long do you plan to keep the computer. Also, resolution for the monitor and size of the monitor would be helpful to optimize your build.
