Dual Core 2.66GHz, 4GB ram recommended, what is letting you down is the HD5450 and Intel GMA3100 graphics, which is suitable for general Windows working or HD movies, gaming they just can't cut it.

You are better to get the intel dg31pr, assume you only buy the MB, because from what I read you can't remove hp dx7400 back I/O shield panel, because that you will have problem when you install the MB into other PC case.

Oh .. im having both motherboards in their original cases all of the pc .in gaming what is better ?

 

[cin19]

For games, you need have the better cpu or GPU, if you have same cpu/gpu inside either pc, then it does not matter. So check they out to see which one has better hardware, or just pick the intel dg31pr, because you can oc the cpu if you want.

 

[Baraa Mohammad]

" you can oc the cpu " what do that mean ?

OC= overclock.
Usually the OEM PC, like HP, Dell, they will lock some of the features, like OC cpu, change voltage, etc.
