New build worried about compatibility with video card

if u look at the specifications (if ur buying on newegg, which would be recomended~) it should tell u what pci slot the video card uses and what pci slots the motherboard has. just saying so u could figure that part out if u wanna learn more~ (tookme a bit to figure it out)

i think you could do better on the processor.... although before i go on any more we need more info on what u want :]

Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts.

The easiest method is to paste the label on one line and then paste the link below it.
Example:
Logitech 920-000914 Black 106 Normal Keys Wired Ultra-thin Illuminated Keyboard - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Looks like:

Mostly I will be using it for gaming, so far have been looking on newegg.com for parts, all i need is a motherboard, processor, a video card, and RAM.

The links for the parts I was looking at are-

I posted this because a friend send something about the video card not working with the motherboard because it was AMD and the card was Nvidia he said it needed a Nvidia nforce 900 northbridge(or southbridge) was wondering if this was true??

I am not going to SLI or crossfire.

uhhh i havent seen a problem regarding an amd mobo not being compatable with nvidia ever. but just to be safe u should ask some more people incase im wrong.

the videocard is a good choice, as for the processor i think u can go for AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core unless ur worried bout cost (about 100$ more)

do u already have the other stuff? (cooling for case, case psu etc)

I've got an Antec 900 case, 750W psu, and a heatsink/fan another friend said worked great.

I think I'm going to stick with the 1055T not sure if the extra $100 is worth how much performance gain i would get

Thanks for the help =)

np, although i dont think i helped much.

you wanna stick with the mid tower? i just wanna show u my case =D (dont hav eto withc to it. really depends on how much room u need but the stuf fu got is good too.)
