Hi This is my first post on these forums. Anywho

Im planning on building a new pc from parts I have laying around and a motherboard I purchased from ebay.

I just bought a ECS Nforce 570 Slit-A LGA775 motherboard http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d [...] 0177906356

Now I have a few questions.

Q: Does this motherboard have a built in graphics card/chip so I wont have to buy one to install?

Q: What size power supply should I use?

Q: I'm going to be using a intel celeron D processor from an old rig I had laying around. I believe its a 330. will that work?

Q: I have 2 1g sticks of DDR2 pc800-40. I believe its 677. Will that work with this motherboard?

I'd appreciate any kinda insight you guys can give me on this and thank you ahead of time.

A: No. The motherboard does not come with onboard graphics, so you will need to purchase some type of graphics card.

A: That depends on the intended usage for this system.

A: If the memory you have is DDR2-667, then it should work. According to the ECS Specifications page on this motherboard, it will not support DDR2-800.
