ASUS P7P55D - Intel P55 Chipset - LGA 1156 - DDR3 (2133MHZ OC), 2x PCI Express 2.0 x16 (CrossFire Support) - Special Features - TurboV EVO OC Processor (2nd Micro Processor onboard) 12+2 Xtreme Phase Power, T Probe (Active cooling Microchip), Asus EPU

Intel Core i5 750 Lynnfield Processor - 2.66GHz Quad Core, 45nm, LGA 1156, 8MB L3, 2.5GT/s DMI Interface

4x PATRIOT 2048MB DDR3 1333MHZ MEM 240-PIN

Also, I need a PSU for 500 bucks or so?

Yes, those parts will work together, but please don't be stingy with the PSU... It's one of those parts that you can use in your next system, and a good PSU with a nice wattage will leave you more space to upgrade in the future.

Make sure the RAM is 1.65v or less and DON'T SKIMP ON A PSU!!!

Otherwise you're good to go

good luck getting the thing to start then. you'll need serious power to run this. think more in the range of R1600+

I just noticed that this board doesn't have onboard graphics!! WTF...

I'm not gonna shell out on a GFX card since I don't game on my PC at all.

How can a mobo not come with onboard graphics?!

Thanks. Which month exactly?

I'm currently using my laptop for internet access so this upgrade is fairly urgent and needs to get done asap.

ag man, just buy a little HD4350... it will also have HD support in ever needed (and it's light on energy), you can pick them up for around R400.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Hmmm, well I face palmed... Feo, just chip out R600 for a trusted band, a simple 450-500 watt will do you only good, and trusted brands like Cooler Master, Ventec, etc. well supply a constant power supply. The cheaper you go on a PSU, the more irregular the power delivery, and that might shorten the Mobo's life!

Yeah I guess I should do that. But that just means more researching for me. I wanna get the best value for my money because upgardes for me happen very infrequently so what I get now so offer tons of features and last a while.

Oh, an it doesn't help that in SA, suppliers close during the season that they can make the most money in. *shrug*
