I see your ram is at 1066 MHz and that may be what it is designed for but i think it is more likely should be running around 1600MHz.
I i was you i would double check that that ram's speeds should be running at.


i have had this issue before it bothered me til li fixed it, not gona pay for 1600 and get stuck running 1066.

That's a MicroATX motherboard. The vid card I linked is 11.73". Make sure the case you have (w/e that is) has room for a card that long.


/e Also the vid card requires a 6 pin and an 8 pin power lead...make sure your power supply has those.

Well the vid card will fit, and the PSU will have the proper power leads.
Now all you have to do is figure out what quality sound you desire.

his onboard dac is pretty descent
its just what his intentions are and his equipment he uses

soundcards are hardly ever needed these days, i/o connections, onboard has feedback but a soundcard can have it too or worse, and the software/algorithms from the company
