Looking at buying a processor motherboard bundle

pem_no1 · Jan 15, 2015

Looking at upgrading my PC with a processor motherboard bundle. I have a zoostorm pc, this is what I'm looking to buy

Just asking if there's anything I should know, is it ok to use my old ram? Also are all motherboards the same size?

i must say that i hate this combo

if your ram will work will depend on the exact kit you have

motherboards come in a variety of sizes http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/motherboard-selection-guide,3900-3.html

Hello.

I'll need to know which cabinet you have and the ram you have now to see if its able to run with the new ram.
Also, no there is different sizes of motherboards, most common one is ATX and Micro-ATX

Here you see different sizes of motherboards:

What version of Windows do you have and am I right its OEM? I know with Win 7 an OEM copy is tied to the original motherboard, I am unsure if Win 8 is the same

I don't know how to reply on here so I'll do this.

It's a separate copy of windows 7, so I should be alright.

Someone said they hate this combo, whys that?

That's the pc I have

Edit. Probably not enough info for you. I'll have to look when I get home

Alright now we know the Motherboard and your cabinet fits, they are both Micro-ATX motherboards.

I couldnt find much about the information i need on the RAM sticks (cas, timing and voltage) so i cant say if the new and the old RAM sticks will work together.

i dont like the old h81 motherboard

are you gaming or what?

pem_no1 · Jan 15, 2015

Yeah Quibits, gaming dayz mainly.

What motherboard would you recommend? In the micro size

qubits · Jan 15, 2015

you only need a i5 for gaming like the 4460 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106.html

H97 is good for a non k cpu and 1 gpu

Yonose · Jan 15, 2015

if you gaming a heavy game as DayZ i would recommend a graphic card and a power supply.

I've looked at the i5 4690k bundles and they're virtually the same price
