An AMD APU would be faster than the GT610 regardless and you could always add something else in the future should you require it. What's your budget?

Hi piplupmania, It depends on what you want it for, what is the purpose of your build, or is it to replace an existing one? This board is an excellent budget board though if you're looking to put together a cheap PC for HTPC use or something similar.

Hi There You can do that over a LAN easily enough I do it all the time. Or if they're in different locations, why not simply get a large USB Stick to copy the games you've downloaded to it to take to your PC Note if you don't own the game this is considered piracy and piracy is bad...

You can get a 7950 from Ebay for about £95 (Radeon 280) or a 7970 (280X) if you're lucky for about the same price.

Hi There! Are you buying internationally, or can you tell us your budget and link a few sites where we could see a few options? That's not a bad laptop really, the 740 while lower end won't have issues playing gamines on low/medium settings

It will only beep if there's a PC Speaker connected on the front panel connector area, not all boards have one built in. Have you connected the rest of the front panel headers or are you shorting the connectors for an outside case test?

That's a very old board - it has a 20-pin input for main power, the second 4-pin that's in front of it will need to be the separate 4-pin coming from the PSU On the right-hand side, half way down on this pic of that board:

750W Should cover it as the 970 draws less than 150W a card. Total system load under 500W for SLi 980's here and they draw more power: http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/5623/11/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-sli--3-way-sli--4-way-sli-review-test-results-power-consumption

How odd. You can use PCI-E devices of smaller types in larger slots as they're all electrically compatible, simply means the card doesn't require them all. There's a few of these about is your card made by Palit by any chance?

Depends how much space you need really. If you don't need loads of space get a 120GB SSD to record to?

lol no worries :)
