    OK I'm building a computer this summer and i have some questions. I need to know if everything will be compatible, I have an AMD athlon 2 x4 635 CPU, I'm buying an ASUS M4n75TD, I'm also getting 2 Nvidia GTX 560 ti GPUs. after that I'm getting an 850 watt PSU and a cooler master HAF X gaming case. Anything else I should get along with this or anything that wont work or I should look out for? any help would be nice thanks :) (btw yes i did post this in the wrong section before)​

    Yep, that CPU will fit. The 850W will also suffice. If you haven't checked already, make sure the PSU is "SLI ready" or that it has 4, 6-pin pci-e cables so that you'll be able to power the 560's up. Make sure you get DDR3 memory and not DDR2.

    Recommendations: look into getting a USB 3.0 ready motherboard as well as one that comes with SATA III. Take advantage of this upgrade because these are new technologies and it would be a shame to miss out on the speeds! Check this one out. Same price as the one you want to get, only with an advantage!
