Hello "Tom's Hardware" members,
I am in the need of a new CPU and with that, I also need a new motherboard. I have compiled a bundle that I think shall work in my current system, but I would love to know if you think it's compatible or even possible.
The first item I looked for: CPU. The most essential part of a computer is what I found first. I looked at an "AMD FX-6300 Six-Core 3.5GHz" processor and thought it was the perfect thing for me.
I then looked for a motherboard to go along with it, but also keeping in mind that it must work with my current components as well. I found one that I think will do the job, but I am not quite sure.
If you could let me know if all of the items below are compatible, that would be lovely and would make my day/night.
System itself (stock parts, I've upgraded a few): http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03363664&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5231485
Graphics Card Upgrade: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-202-011
Power Supply Upgrade: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-494-002
Processor I'm looking at: http://www.microcenter.com/product/401797/FX_6300_Black_Edition_35GHz_Six-Core_Socket_AM3_Boxed_Processor
Motherboard I'm also looking at: http://www.microcenter.com/product/379475/M5A78L-M_LX_PLUS_Socket_AM3_760G_mATX_AMD_Motherboard
I've also installed an AVerMedia Live Gamer HD which takes up a PCI Express x1 slot.
(Please look at each component to see if it'll all be working without issues. For example, enough PCI slots, enough space in the case, etc.)
