Greetings,

I'm new to this forum and i hope i'm making the post right.

I'm trying to upgrade my desktop and i kinda need some help about the parts and the compatibility between them. I have a low budget and i only need a motherboard, a graphics card and a processor. Here are the links for the parts i checked. It'd be great if you guys can give me some opinions about them.

Looks fine.

EDIT:
Actually get, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130640 motherboard and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125417 . It'll perform a fair bit better.

I think thats a very weak system for gaming, and unfortunately with that budget, you're stuck between very entry level choices. What I would call "the better of two evils".. In which case, I would consider an AMD Llano APU, its going to do a lot better than those parts. You do not need a separate video card, however you can add one.

GT440 > 6550D

GDDR5 support and it makes a huge difference. Not to mention the pentiums are basically lower clocked i3's without hyperthreading.

Ohh and by the way, i have a power supply of 400w. Will it be enough for the new system?

Alot of these games are barely playable, w/GT 440 and in some cases, not at all. Anything lower than 30FPS and you're asking for trouble. Pentiums are old junk, they cant even touch the CPU performance of a Llano.

Yes 400 watts is enough.

I would get a radeon 7750. It performs about the same as a gtx 550ti only cheaper. It will cost you about 20 extra though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102969

Also, I don't think your mobo can overclock.

I stand corrected, you may be right

Either way, its still a best of two evils choice.

His monitor is 1280x1024. I ran everything on max with a GT240 on 1024x768 back then.

Changed his build to a cheaper MSI mobo and a 7750. Should be able to max at that res. Check first reply.
