Did some research.

From legitreviews.com

"The system is powered by a 500 Watt Turbolink branded switching power supply with model number ATX-TL500W-BK. This is a brand that we haven't heard of before. It has two +12V rails with +12v1 being rated at 16 Amps and +12v2 being rated at 18 Amps. This power supply doesn't have any PCIe 6-pin power connectors for video card expansion, which is a bit of a bummer as we always like PCs to have an upgrade path. We took a look around the system and found all the power connectors were used except for one 4-pin molex connector and a SATA power connector."

You'll need to get a different PSU if you want it to work with your video card.

6 pin power connectors look like the black end of the picture you posted, 4 pin or molex power connectors look very close to what the white ends look like.

EDIT: Also, the PSU may have 8pin connectors that look like the black ends, they should be dismantlable into 6 pin.

Better architecture, better clock speed, more CUDA cores or stream processors. As the transistors get smaller(at 28nm now), the more they can fit on a PCB.

Im undecided between a gtx 580 or an AMd 7970, so one of those.

Why not a GTX 680?

TBH, the only real issues I'm running into are the GTX 680 being out of stock and the lack of 7850 crossfire reviews.

One thing I know is that AMD is garbage at making CFX profiles.

[QUOTE="WiiRocks66"]

[QUOTE="juiceman77"]

All I want is a mobo that has all the latest hardware, overclocks great, can run 2 GPU's in SLI or Crossfire, and is great for gaming. I don't need extras like bluetooth only what I'm going to use. Here is the best I've found so far but I'm still kind of uneducated when it comes to all the functions of different ports so idk what I need. Oh and I've heard Z68 is the best for gaming/performance/overclocking so that's what I've been going for over P67 which I've heard has alot of glitches and H67 or whatever which is like entry level.

Yeah, that's the mobo I would suggest. Mine in my sig(Z68A-G43) is also a good choice, but I paid less than 100 for it at Christmas. Now it is 117, and at that price, I would go with the ASRock instead.

So basically I can't get any better than this? And why do higher end boards cost so much, I mean what do they have that this one doesn't?

Better components, more features, better power phase design for better overclocking, better integrated audio(sometimes) and more PCI-E 3.0 and SATA 3 slots.

I would post something from xoticpc, but the site is down.

You can customize it to your liking. Give it a quad core CPU and it should be much better then the HP. The 570M is a much better GPU then the HD 7470M
