Hey guys so im thinking of replacing my old oem components heres my plan New mobo: asrock m3a770de. New cpu: amd phenom II x2 565 and crucial ballistix sport 16 gb worth cause thatschat board can take bur im curious will the mobo fit? Someone said it would but just making sure sorry for wrong category

That MB is a full ATX form factor, most OEM manufacturer's use a MATX form factor for their cases. What do you have now?

Also, I would suggest going with 4 or 8 GB or RAM and using the extra money for a better processor since 16GB is way more than you will ever use.

Curreny specs are: Processor: amd athlon 64 x2 4200+. My motherboard is em61sm/em61pm. Case is e380 standard

If you check the back of your computer you will see that you only have 4 expansion slots below at the bottom of your computer.


If you check the MB you will see that you need at least 7 slots for the board to fit.

You will either have to get an MATX board, or a different case
