Just one little question here

[Runneck]

Does this motherboard support PCI express 3.0?

http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=773523

It says: PCI (3.3 V/5 V)
If that isn't supporting PCI express 3.0, i mean... does not any am3+ socket support PCIe 3.0?

Nope.

To my knowledge, the only AM3+ motherboard that has PCIe 3.0 is this one:

ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Thank you. You prevented a catastrophe . Well.... i guess its intel then. But I'm fine with whatever
And if you don't have anything to do. check this system out and see if my power supply will suffice.

If you see anything else that seems odd please note I am building a computer in a little while. Just want to be prepared.

It looks like a good standard system build, but don't forget the PSU.

BTW, it wouldn't have been a catastrophe with the AM3+. A PCIe 3.0 card will run just fine in a PCIe 2.0 slot. In fact, for that card, the performance difference would not be noticable at all.

When you would want PCI 3.0 support is if you are running a higher end GPU, in Crossfire or SLI, with multiple monitors. At that point, you would notice a difference.

Before that, it will generally not be a difference.

Here is a decent reference article on the subject: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/07/18/pci_express_20_vs_30_gpu_gaming_performance_review/#.UgJ-k5L2akN.

But, you have a good build above. Just don't let the PCIe 3.0 thing be the primary reason to go with the Intel platform.

I love you mate, thanks for the answer. I love the quick response
I'd recommend you on the site if i knew how. If you'd tell me i would happily do so!

Speaking of Power supply will 430 do with that system or should i get 450-500?

No need to recommend - I'm actually still relatively new on the site. Just select an answer so it helps build up credentials.

Thanks, and enjoy your build!
