Hi im sorta new to building a gaming rig, but any way i bought a cyperpower pc last year and i was wanting to upgrade some parts like the motherboard, and graphics card, CPU. I was wanting to play on really good settings on WoW, and Arma 3, and maybe a couple other games. ($400-$500 range if possible) But what I need help with is if these parts are Compatible with each other and if there any good

more then capable. you'll find multiplayer will benefit from a bit of an overclock to that cpu... otherwise it should do fine.

Why? It's better than Intel onboard video (which never was, nor ever is meant for gaming). And you can always disable the onboard video in the BIOS if you do indeed decide to add a GPU later on, and you get a very overclock friendly CPU.

yes. its not an unreliable asrock. it's a smaller form factor, because, frankly, you're working with a tiny budget; basically i was trying to maximize your budget with the best parts i could find under 500

Oh alright, Would that set up still be good with playing on high setting for WoW and stuff like that? And I have a case and 500w power supply also

you have a case and a 500W psu? then i would bump that gpu up to a GTX 660... or even a GTX 760... if your budget will let you.



the big difference is number of pci-e slots. on that asrock you were looking at there were 3 pci-e slots, the asus has 2.... the asrock has 2 legacy pci slots and 2 pci-e x1, the asus has 2 of the pci-e x1 slots... the asus has the slightly older Realtek ALC892 audio, the asrock uses a similar if slightly newer Realtek ALC898 audio device... both are suround sound audio.

otherwise the boards are pretty much the same.
