I wanna buy this six-core with my tax return.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851

What is the minimum size PSUI would need to power that, as well as a gtx 260?

Also, how do I pick out a motherboard for it? I know about matching the socket type, but does the wattage matter? Or anything else like that? I'm trying to keep it as cheap as possible.

Thanks.

I just installed a 64-bit Windows 7. I am installing Civ 5 now. Since I didnt have an option I'm assuming it installed the 32-bit version. My question is will the game utilize all of my RAM?( 4 gigs, and 1gig graphics card) Or because the application is 32-bit it wont?

Thanks

You mean on the actual MOBO right?

I'm bumping this beacuse it was posted late last night....

Got the card from a buddies old PC. The picture of what I have in on the page under the wireless cards info.

Can I use one of the two empty USB slots in the lower right hand corner of the board?Thanks in advance for advice.

I'm building a new PC and need some opinions.

I also would be transferring a GTX 260 and upgrtaded PSU from the old PC along withany random components I might need from it.

All of these items would work well together, and give me abig boost in performance, correct?

Also a silly question but, the new motherboard has an integrated LAN for me to access the web, correct? lol.

Any opions would be helpful, Thanks!

OK I made some revisions. Just need some opinions.

I also would be transferring a GTX 260 from the old PC along with the PSU and DVD drive.

All of these items would work well together, and give me a huge boost in performance correct?

Thanks. And these wont bottleneck the CPU? I only ask because there are MOBO's made specifically for AM3 processors.

Any suggestions for a MOBO that will support both the new processor and the old memory?

This is my first PC build and need some help. I plan on buying this processor:

Any help or advice would be very helpful. I have tried researching this but just find a lot of technical jargon. Thanks in advance!
