Does this work?

[Stiffy2025]

So im getting a new motherboard and mostly getting new parts for my pc. I am wanting to get the Asus Atx DDR3 z97-a and I wanted to know if these parts will work.

I am wanting to take some components from my computer now which is a Dell Inspiron 660s.

Case: Corsair Carbide Spec-01
Motherboard: Asus ATX DDR3 z97-A Motherboard
Power Supply: Evga Power Supply
CPU: Intel petium CPU G2030 @ 3.00 GHz (2 CPU's)
Graphic Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan), 3GB GDDR5, DX12
Memory: 2 x 8GB

Total: 420$

I was also wondering about the Windows 10 is i possible i can take this off my existing computer and put it on my new one?

Also wondered about whether or not i need to buy a SSD. And what does the ssd do?

Do you mean a G3020 CPU ?

An SSD is a VERY fast disk. It is 10 to 100 times faster than your mechanical HDD.

No at least when I open up windows diagnostic it says 2030 and that means I can use the HDD drive already in my computer, but are all the other parts compatible with each other?

 

[kanewolf]

A G2030 CPU is not compatible with an Asus z97-A according to this -- https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97A/HelpDesk_CPU/ That is why I asked about the other model. It is compatible.

So what's a cheap CPU I can buy then?

 

[kanewolf]

Why have you chosen this Z97 motherboard? A newer motherboard would have more choices for CPUs.

 

[Stiffy2025]

Because I just want a cheap one wants a new cheap motherboard I can but

Check the H270 motherboard list -- http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-h270-motherboard-price-list,4885.html#p1
Then you could use the new Pentium CPUs -- http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-pentium-g4620-g4560-cpu,4934.html

write "my pc" then list what you have in your current pc. then tell me your budget and tell me what will you use the pc for. i guess cause of gtx 1060 youre aiming to some games. type 1-5 games you wanna play. i might scrap something quickly

I am not a gamer. The graphics card choice is not significant to me. He asked for a cheap motherboard. An H270 with a Pentium dual core hyperthreaded CPU is an inexpensive entry.

My PC: Intel spiron 660s

I want to save as much money as I can but I tried my best to find out what the mother board is but I couldn't find it.

CPU is the g2030 (came with the PC)
Memory: 2x8gb of ram ddr3
motherboard: 0XFWHV

That's really all I know um wanting to save as much as I can spending only 400-500$ but I want the gtx 1060 3gb

 

[Stiffy2025]

I would also like a cheap cpu

 

[Stiffy2025]

Is it at all possible this motherboard will hold the current cpu in my computer?
