Gaming rig to build

Should do fine, the Athlon II X3 440 has shown it self to do rather well in gaming, you shouldnt have any issues. You might not be able to max stuff out but you should be able to play on high.

thank you... but im also thinking to get the x2 be? is it ok or should i stick with the x3 440? because phenom x3 is hard to find now in our country phils.

how about this is has USB3? will it fit my setup? it has the same price as the MSI board.

GIGABYTE™ 785GMT-USB3

That will work. That's the first a 785 has been pointed out with USB 3.0. Doesn't have the Sata III, but unless you're going SSD in this systems lifetime, you won't use that.

ok, but the question now will the Athlon x3 440 work on the Gigabyte board? ive check their site and shows only Athlon II X3 435 no X3 440?

That's interesting. I would think that it would. To know for sure you'd have to contact them or find a different Mobo. Do you need micro ATX?

i selected a micro ATX bec. that fits my budget. and i dont plan of xfire i just want to play games.^^ do you have any other suggestion for a mobo that is efficient and costs less? but performs well for my build?

well maybe its ok now. id stick to my build. BTW thanks for the answer given that my x3 athlon will be ok for the 5770... thanks for all the help.

No problem. Looking at others using the gigabyte boards, no issues I can see with the 440 even though its not on the list. But this Asus board is in the same ballpark with free shipping and the 440 is on the support list. Use the promo code if ordering by tomorrow (wed) and its only $90.
