Case and MOBO help

[lakeyb85]

Hi guys, newbie here

Ive just sold my current set up and am purchasing this as it was cheap
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c02174764
(£50 cheap)

i want to use it as a start up MOBO for my first proper build, my last rig was a new build but most bits came already in the case.

Ami right in thinking this MOBO will fit in to any case that takes a MICRO- ATX MOBO? or is there something else i have to keep in mind?

Also is there a good place i can look at that shopws me a list of compatible hardware?

thanks in advance

Do you have a PSU with a 6-pin PCI connector?

If not, cancel the order.

Get this one instead. It needs no PCI connector.

used to do the job for me. need a small one to fit my case. will be doing a new build soon so will be looking at nice but cheap MOBOs aswell

If the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS still suits you, you can go ahead and keep it!

hey man, that pc build you did, will that run H1Z1? got that graphics card you suggested it is pretty sweet for the price, runs CS:GO on around 80FPS on low settings, that soudn about right?>

also my mate just gave me one of these, was thinking of using it for a back up pc i have http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MSI-Nvidia-Geforce-Gt720-2Gb-Fanless-Silent-Ddr5-LP-Passive-Video-Card-/371354696188?hash=item567676f9fc

any good for games, whats dif between pci2 and pci3

With the gt740 it should run H1Z1. The gt720 will not. It is quite a weak card. Not good for gaming.

 

[lakeyb85]

ah ok, ive checked the card stats and it should run it easy so fingers crossed

 

[tiny voices]

which card should run what?

 

[lakeyb85]

the 740 should run it

 

[tiny voices]

Yes it definitely will. The 740 is a good budget card.
