Will my old parts work along with the new motherboard and cpu?
Cheers, and Thanks for the help.
 
your psu barely makes it. i suggest you get a more capable one. other than, i can't find anything that won't work.

also, i appreciate the fact that you took the time to provide the links to save everyone some time. thank you
 


You are very welcome. :)
PSU is doing just fine with my current configuration, so I guess it won't struggle with the new mobo and cpu. We'll see, in time.

The only problem with these motherboards I've picked is that they have only 2 ram slots(Thanks to middlemarkal for pointing that out, I haven't noticed) and I am using 2x2gb + 1x4gb, sad. The only way out of this is to buy a second 1x4gb or either find another motheboard, which i am having a hard time with, especially in my country.

Also thanks for your help.
