Custom PC upgrade help

[AGallegos]

Hello, I've just started to upgrade my PC and I wanted to make sure that all my parts will work together before I buy them. If someone could look over my parts and make sure they are comparable with each other.

Here are my parts:

Motherboard: N-Alvorix-RS880-uATX
Possessor: AMD Athlon II X4 640
Memory: 12gb of DDR3 ram
Graphics card: EVGA Geforce GTX 660 2gb
Power supply: EVGA 500W ATX12V

If you need any more info here is the link to the computer specs. page:

That motherboard is like asking for problems. Better skimp down on the GPU and get a Asus/ASRock or Gigabyte motherboard.

Why 12 gbs of RAM? You are going 4+4 / 2+2 ? Or you are going 8+4? Because going 4+4 / 4+0 is bad idea. You lose dual channel and you lose performance.

Also it might be a better idea to scale down to GTX 650TI and get a better motherboard+CPU upgrade. Like going with an x4 750k or fx6300.

Your PSU would be good for this.

What type of Motherboard do you recommend?

I know you asked Shneiky, but With the X4 750K id recommend http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-fm2a55mdgs since it also has the 16gb ram support.
