Yes it will

Here's a link to the AVL for CPU's for 7050 chipset. http://

You can also go for the faster 45nm Core 2 Quad CPU's. I quite preferred the Q9650 over the q6600.

I actually have a Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9650 running in a Windows XP machine (not online) running older software for a family member.

You can probably get one for cheap. The only thing I couldn't figure out in that .pdf file is there is an * next to the checkmark on all the Core 2 quad chips (Yorkfield) that run a 1333 bus speed?

Upon further examination I see that Yorkfield (45nm) is not supported on your chipset.

Better go with the core2quad or core2extreme

The document talks about MCP73E and MCP73V not supporting Yorkfield. Do you know which one you have?

The q9650 is not available in India so will this rig be enough to play fortnite and csgo at 60 fps?

4gb ddr2 ram
Q6600
Gt 730 gddr5

Check some benchmarks. You will have to lower graphic settings quite a bit

I have a GT 730 lying around that I use for troubleshooting PC's. It's a very underpowered card. It will probably play CS:GO but may struggle in Fortnite. Try looking at a GTX 1030 or maybe a GTX 750ti (I don't know what is available in your country)

The Q9XXX core 2 quad processors were all better than the Q6600. See if you can find one of those.

I understand your situation completely, and I want to help you. When I lived abroad in a 3rd world country with no Amazon / ebay and much fewer options I procured my hardware (often used) through online gaming forums. Since even a generation old tech was expensive in stores, I found the best deals by looking for local PC gaming communities and forums online. I'm 100% sure India has quite a few things like that.

If you tell me which PSU you have and your budget, I can try and suggest some GPU options and maybe even help look for some.
You need to get some more DDR2 RAM. Get 8 gigs, keep in mind it may or may not work with your existing 4 GB (unmatched pair) but in my experience I have been able to get even different manufacturer's DDR2 RAM's to run together more often than not (always a risk though).
