I have a few more questions;

1) Will this build be powerful enough to run games like; World of Warcraft, Empire total war and Counter Strike:source all on max/high settings?
2) Will everything fit in the case?
3) This mobo is almost out of stock and i will be buying my system in 3 weeks, if this goes out of stock are there any other motherboards with AM3+ support that i can get for arround the same price?

Thanks, Calvin.

ok well everything will fit in the case as long as it fits ATX and the coolermaster haf is a very popular ATX case so you wont have any problems there.

the video card you chose should more than handle WoW at high/near ultra settings on a full resolution like 1920x1080 at around -60 fps+

there are tons of AM3+ motherboards but my first concern is your power supply, i would go with a 500watt antec earthwatts its more efficient and known for better quality than the corsair that is not really made by corsair.

are you looking for a full ATX AM3+ or seeing as you only have one graphics card would micro ATX be a possibility?

 

[calvinmc5]

I will most likley only be using 1 gcard and i'll be playing at 1366x738

 

[samrialj]

than you may want to look into a micro ATX motherboard, im not the best at USD conversions but i'll give you some brands/model no# to check out.

ASUS M4A87TD EVO

ASUS M5A87

MSI 880GM-E35

they are all full atx. and if my conversions are right, none of them are over the price of the mobo you posted.

Okay thanks for the advice, i might also be considering getting this mobo... is it any good? http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Motherboards/AMD+AM3%2B+Ready/MSI+870A-G54+AMD+870+%28Socket+AM3%2B%29+DDR3+PCI-Express+ATX+Motherboard+?productId=41131

alot of MSI AM3 motherboards are DOA they just lack the quality their intel Motherboards have, i would find a biostar or Asus if its possible,
