I3 2100 atx motherboard

also im form canada so please put the newegg links for newegg.ca

Hi. Do you mind buying from other websites too or only Newegg.ca? You can't overclock with that processor and you can't find a motherboard that supports overclocking, or have 6 or 7 PCI Express (x1 or x16) slots for that price. I think you meant to say PCI slots? The processor has integrated graphics. If you must buy from Newegg, then any H61 motherboard for less than $60 here: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=EN...

If you want 6 PCI slots, get this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...

If you're willing to buy from other websites, there are a couple of B75 motherboard here:

thanks, i just want 1 pcie x16 slot and 1 x1, i wanted 6 or 7 because i have an atx case, and i dont wanna waste room in it, also im ok with buying from other sites. actually newegg is kinda expensive so.. anyway thanks!

You're welcome.

wow ur fast at replying

ok ive decided to increase my mobo budget to $100 (for z77) and get an i5 3570k, do you guys think thats a good move? im trying to build a gaming pc... for minecraft and trackmania (bit of an overkill i think) i wanna oc to 4.5 with the cooler master 212 evo. right now im looking at the Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3 ATX Z77 motherboard, i found it on directcanada.com for only 99.65 im gonna be using an old dell optiplex case and installing 2-3 fans (2 80mm, and the 3rd 1 im gonna drill more holes in the case fro, probably gonna be 120mm completel changed my mind, and it comes up to around $800 [WHAAA???] im trying to put the parts up on pcpartpicker, ill post a reply when i do

ok i got pcpartpicker's links, click this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Abe2

What's your budget and monitor resolution? You may be spending too much on the CPU and too little on the GPU.

monitor is 1600x768 i think, im ok with the gpu and cpu, i do think the cpu is expensive tho, i tryed to save money on the gpu, because im going to be playing minecraft only (and mabey some trackmania 2 canyon)

I think you're spending too much on the CPU just to overclock it and play those games. The graphics card is probably sufficient or you can even get the GTX 650 Ti for a little more.

ok? so should i upgrade it to something else [ermmm.. i hope it's under $20 more] like the gtx 650?

i found an EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti SSC 1071MHZ 1GB 5.4GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI Minihdmi PCI-E Video Card, (thats the listing in the online store XD) will it bottleneck or anything like that? its $10 more which makes my thing $220 above my budget (it was $200 before, dont build gaming pc's on a $500 budget) anyway, my psu doesnt have enough amps on 12v rails to power the gtx 650ti my psu has 18 amp and the card needs 20, will that be ok?

I made a few changes to your build. If the GTX 650 Ti is only $10 more than the HD 7770 you wanted, then I think it's worth getting; the HD 7770 is fine too though.

Also I don't know if you can reuse your old Dell case because the motherboard may not fit and there might not be enough clearance for the cooler. I think it's better to just get a nice case instead. And I don't see the Gigabyte motherboard for that price on DirectCanada.

well my case is HUGE! and ifound the mobo at http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11830BD5674.
my psu doesnt have enough amps to run the gtx 650ti though, it needs 20 and my psu has 18

by the way, some of the parts werent on pcpartpicker so i put the 1 with the closest matching serial number

wait, the gtx 650ti is $20 more, theres a mail in rebate, and it'll end byb the time i order everything (5 months XD)

If your case can accommodate an ATX board, then you'll be fine. Get the XFX 450W I listed above. Are you saying you'll be ordering the parts in 5 months? If so, then you should you wait for next gen CPUs and GPUs and then reconsider your options.

we;;see i want breathing room to upgrade later, and the psu calculator at http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine says i should be looking for around 460W, and that one is 10W less i want upgrade room and im planning on running this pc 24/7 and using it for at least 5 more years. dont say this isnt possible, i have an intel pentium 1 pc running windows nt (obviously i dont use it, but it works and is like over 10 years old) anyway, mabey later ill crossfire the 7770 with another 1. and i dont care about new stuff, the old stuff works for minecraft and thats for sure. right now i use a laggy laptop with a broken screen hooked up to a monitor, i despretly need a new pc.

i cant find the 450 psu on directcanada, so im getting 650w

i downgraded the hdd to 500gb to save money now its $720 way above $500

I still think it's better to go with an non-overclocking i5 and H77 motherboard to save money instead. The 450W PSU will power the i5-3570K and a HD 7770 easily. But since you're going to upgrade later, a bigger PSU won't hurt. Here's the PSU from DirectCanada: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=16950AC3542&v...

i want to overclock though, im a first time builder, and just wanna overclock for the fun of it, anyway if i didnt wanna oc, then i wouldve stuck with the 2100 i3

Maybe you should keep the i3-2100 for now then upgrade to the i5-3570K later when you have the money?

well in 5 months ill ahve the money =P

Well you're currently over the budget. If you intend to have all the parts you want, you'll have to go with the i3 until then which can run those games easily. There isn't another way.

then im increasing my budget (XD) to $700
