Hi, I have very old computer and now I decided to build new one. I did some reading and already choosen parts: (MSI K9N SLI-2F, nForce570 SLI ATX) PSU (ANTEC PSU TRUE POWER TRIO 650W PFC SLI) GPU (Geforce 9800 gtx+ sli) CPU (AMD ATHLON 64 X2 6000+ am2+) HDD (SeaGate 320 GB) DDR2 (2gb 800mhz (Kingston Dimm) x2 ZALMAN CPU COOLER S.478/775/AM2/754/ 939 I want to know is these parts compatible with each other? Is it bad that motherboard has am2 socket while CPU has am2+? 650w would be enough for this system?
Couple of things really. They all will work together, however: That mobo is know to get very hot. Take a look here The question was whether it get hot and the reply was posted The quote in particular is this: Just in case you were thinking about Overclocking. The sockets will work together. Am2 and Am2+ are compatible and are really only difference in speed.[/*] 650 should be fine for that system. However if you can get more then i would.[/*] The only thing i was unable to check was the RAM. I'm sure that will work fine but its best to check if you can post a link Also i'm not sure about the CPU cooler. I know Am2 and Am2+ are compatible but I'm not to sure about the fan socket. Apart from the last 2 it should work together.
Thanks for answer but I already decided to change motherboard to k9n2 sli platinum nforce 750a and cpu to athlon 7750
