Solution
Thats a nice motherboard , but its better to use a board with a 970 series chip set for an FX processor .

It will cost a little more but will be worth it in the long run

Is the cx 430 v2 by corsair enough to power the rig? I'm thinking yes but I just want to check. In regards to the motherboard, my firend does not want to spend that much money on the computer, so a $100 mother board seems too expensive.

I was planning on getting a corsair case, but does anyone know a good one that is currently on sale?

The recommenced psu is 450 to 500 watts. The Corsair is a decent budget psu so it should work. Newegg has the 200r for $60-10 mir and free shipping. only $15 more than CM. The CM N200 at Newegg is only $5 more and has better wire management.

So it may not work? my friend doesnt want to spend more money, which is why he wants my cx 430. I'm currently using the gtx 460 with the cx 430, but the computer i'm currently using is from 2006 and is a duo core.
