I currently have this 500watt powersupply

I want to know if it will be able to handle that parts I want so heres the list. Also are all of these parts compatible with each other, I think they are but I just want to be sure?

The case fans, hard drive, and ddr3 1333 ram from this build
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3
GeForce GTX 550 Ti 2GB

If there is a better mobo for the 8350 under $90 please recommend it as well.

If i were you I'd go on to pcpartpicker.com andplug in all your parts there. It will let you know if everything is compatible and will give you an estimated wattage. You can also pick from a bunch of PSUs

I already have the 550 ti so I thought I would just throw that in there.

My budget for the mobo is about $100 give or take a few dollars. But now I would like to know what mobo will be good for the amd fx 8350 and will work with the current ram sticks I have? Also since you answered my psu question I will be getting this psu .



I tried that but I cant find most of my parts there. (I already have the ram sticks, case fans, harddrive and gpu.)

Don't get a FX 8350, it's just a FX 8320 overclocked a bit, get the 8320 and save some money to spend on a better mobo.

That PSU is cheap and bad, you should get a seasonic psu like bluemoon suggested, of at least 500w.

Best of luck!

EDIT: Get an ASUS m5a97 EVO r2.0, I had it and it was great and I think you won't have any issue with your RAM sticks

Nice choice. I myself use the Seasonic 520 and 620 both and I couldn't be happier. I would cut my other components to get a better PSU.

I recommended 8320 because if you do not use a high end GPU, there is no performance difference between 8350 and 8320. And 8320 can be overclocked to 8350 level with insulting ease.

For mobo its ASUS M5A97 or Gigabyte GA-970A for budget build.

If you have the money to spare I would say Asus 990 FX

Your RAM will work fine.

Thanks guys im thinking about upgrading my gpu later in the year but for now I will stick with my 550 ti. But I decided to go with the amd fx-8320 instead of the 8350 so thanks for the input. Now for the mobo im looking ath the ASUS M5A97 r2.0 but theres two different pages for it on newegg, which one should I get?(price isn't really a factor between these two I just want the one thats better)
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
