Building New Computer

[BlackBird.]

Hey guys

Tomorrow im going to a computer shop to buy a new motherboard and internet card. But before I'm going to build my pc again with these new components, i wanna be sure everything is compitable with eachother, and if there are things i have to pay extra attention to. Or if you guys have any suggestions, always welcome

My PC:

Motherboard(NEW): GA-MA770-UD3

Memory:

Internet card(NEW): WMP600N

Videocard: Sapphire HD 4870 1GB DDR5

PSU: 550Watt

CPU: AMD athlon X2 64 4200+ 2.2 Ghz

I only buy the motherboard and internet card new, i'll buy a new CPU later.

So..... is this a good combination of hardware? I'm also wondering if the memory fits on the motherbord. Becaus the shop were i buy it says on the website: "make sure you take a look at the memory suport list before buying this motherboard, and make sure it fits".

:O Btw, im not that stupid with computers I know the motherboard supports DDR2-667 Memory and i know i have DDr2-667 memory. But becaus there is THIS memory support list, I wasnt sure anymore.

Should work just fine. You may haft to do a bios update for your CPU though.

That doesnt make any sence Bio, updating my bios. My CPU is pretty old so there is a change i had to downgrade it. But non of thim was needed Pc runs fine now

Thread can be closed.

There wouldn't be any need for a downgrade, as the required F2 supported CPU's are continued on to the current bios.

When I looked over the CPU support list I saw F2 and figured there was an
F1 =P which there isn't. So your correct there wouldn't need to be a bios update.

Yes thats also what the guy in the shop sort of told me. THanks anyway for your reaction

it all looks like it should all work but the cpu is kinda underpowered for gameing for amd cpu the lowes i would go is athlon 5500+ x2 or a phenome

Yes i know, but i can overclock it to like 2.8 Ghz, and i can run BFBC2 at medium settings and play online so its good enough for me now
