Quad core cpu and gtx 275

[frazik]

can i put a gtx 275 with an amd athlon 64X2 3200+ cpu?

If NOT, then can i put a really good core 2 quad into my nforce 430 motherboard?

(what other good cards can i get for the cpu and motherboard i have)

1. No.

2. Check your MOBO's supported_cpu list on the official nVidia website. BIOS might not support a C2Q, but an OC'd E7200 will handle the GTX275 nicely.

3. Could save $70 and go for an HD4890 instead of a GTX275, which performs about the same (little less, I think).
