Which motherboard is better?
Does 650 watt is enough?
Thanks.

What do you plan to do with this server? As a server, you don't need the 550ti (or any video card/GPU for that matter as the motherboard has it built-in).

Also, if you are actually using as a server, go with the first motherboard.

Last, for now, a server uses different memory than a desktop machine. You need to select server memory, like this below:

Thank you for answer. I choose gpu because i thought motherboard had not built in.

Ok i wiil buy that rams as you advised.

And whats about power supply? Does it good? I dont need more or less than needed.

Thank you again

The PSU will be fine. BTW, you didn't say what you plan to do with your server.

That case will not fit either. That Board is a SSI EEB form factor. I found this info from awile ago.

- SSI EEB will fit in a EATX case. Its dimensions are exactly the same 12x13. However the screw holes wouldnt line up, 3 to be exact. The corners line up and some intermediate ones do, and that might seem like enough, the mobo is held tight and safe... until you want to install ram or the cpu fans. Those missing screw hold around that area and you might end up bending it, so be careful. I recommend drill your own holes, I'm using a workaround, little holders to keep it up but its not secure in on the tray, but I'm definitely looking to get a new case.

- Asus already comes with a backplate for the CPU, integrated into the board, do NOT get Corei7 fans and expect them to work (some will but you have to throw away the . Get the Intel CPU Fan designed for this chip. You'll save yourself a lot of headache.

- Finally the power supply!!! This was a headache! you need a power supply with a 24pin (ATX main power) and x2 8pin (EPS12v sever power) motherboard connectors. Most dont have this, I've looked. Dont be fooled by EPS certification that only means they have 1 8pin connecter and probably a 4 pin. Coupla of solutions, if your personally attached to your powersupply get a molex to 8pin adapter, make sure its not PCI-e 8pin but mobo 8pin. You run the risk of mixing voltages with this. Other solution is get the right power supply, so far I've only 2: Corsair HX1000 and PC Power and Cooling 860w.

Thank you.

I did not understand half of what you said. because im not good in hardwares.

Please give me the links of case, cooling system and power supply

Good catch on the case. I missed that.

I need this computer for game servers

 

[COLGeek]

Understood. What server operating system do you plan to use?

 

[COLGeek]

BTW, here is a great PSU that does support the 8-pin EPS connector:

Also, go here for a couple of actual server cases that your motherboard will fit into:

Im going to use Windows Server 2008 R2
So 520W will be enough?

Yes, especially since you don't need to power a high-end video card.
