That mobo isn't compatible with the CPU. And I don't believe that PSU will be adequate enough to run your GPU.

In order to make things easy, copy and paste the following template into your post and edit the examples to suit your needs:

Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)

Budget Range: (e.g.: 300-400) Before / After Rebates; Before / After Shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: (e.g.: Folding@Home, gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies)

Are you buying a monitor: Yes / No



Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) **Include Power Supply Make & Model If Re-using**

Do you need to buy OS: Yes / No
Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing)

Location: City, State/Region, Country - we need to know where these parts are being assembled and whether there are good store-only deals available

Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to upgrade to Intel CPU)

Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Yes / No / Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or if you're upgrading please state what you'd want to get)

Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC. Please also list specific software or games you're using)

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: (e.g. I'm having trouble running game X or my PSU broke)

No. You have an AMD motherboard with an Intel chip. Go with an LGA 1155 board with the Z68, Z75 or Z77 chipset from Gigabyte or Asus.

That power supply is on the small side for an HD 6870 build. It would probably be fine but I would go with something just a bit more powerful since AMD recommends a 500w power supply with that card. This is actually more than you need but with the rebate it's the best deal I see on newegg.

$49 after rebate.

This is the best deal I see without a rebate.

You will want an aftermarket CPU cooler to overclock.

This is the best performer for the money.

800$? no problem, buy this:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ Microcenter)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($129.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($45.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7850 2GB Video Card ($209.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case ($42.55 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply: Rosewill 650W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($84.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS90 DVD/CD Writer ($17.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $811.48

This PC is crossfire ready meaning you can add a second 7850 whenever you want to get almost double performance in games.

You can buy a 30$ CPU cooler (Coolermaster 212 EVO) to overclock your CPU a bit and get more performance out of it.

If you don't have any questions about the PC then pick a best answer and close this thread.
