Rebuild compatibility


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm looking to rebuild my system and I've noticed newegg has some good deals right now on things i've been looking at.

RAM:

Video Card:

CPU:

I'm also looking at this motherboard:

http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813130657

My case is a micro-atx case, so I'm some what limited unless I get a new case, but I'd like to avoid that.

I was hoping to get a mobo that supports atleast that speed of ram (preferably without overclocking) and has usb 3.0 but I am having a hard time finding one.

Does anyone see any problems with this components? Anyone have any suggestions on a motherboard?

Thanks,

HC

That MSI board is fine. I've used MSI before and they run nice. Looks like you have a decent set of components. They should all be compatible, however I would look up the MSI board on MSI's website and ensure compatibility with the memory and CPU you're planning to get. What is your main intended use for this system? If it's gaming, then an AMD FX will do just as well as an i5 or i7 + or - a few fps here or there.

I'm not sure why those links aren't working for some of you, so i'll just list out the pieces below.

CPU: AMD FX-8150

RAM: Corsair vengeance 2x4gb 1600

VGA: XFX radeon 7850 1gb

PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W

Case: Antec Mini P180 Black Steel

I found this mobo as well.

I didn't realize MSI was so crummy.

My budget isn't real large, so I'm trying to keep it around $400-$450, but I'm still open to suggestions.

No SATA 3 on that MSI board and not a lot of good AMD Micro ATX layouts to go for.

This would be the best layout but no SATA 3.

I agree that not having SATA 3 could be a bummer. It could be bad if you wanted to upgrade to an SSD at some point in the future. I've been out of the hardware game for only a few months, but man has the micro-ATX market diminished!

@HouseCookie, that mobo you mentioned doesn't have USB3 as you requested :)

May I ask why you want the ddr1600? Would you notice any real world speed improvements? Or is it because it's in a sale?

I found a motherboard with SATA 6Gb/s and USB 3 with DDR1333 support - SATA6 is good, has USB3 but no DDR1600 support

Or your one you listed in the OP SATA 3Gb/s and USB2 with DDR1600 support - SATA3 is bad (if wanting ssd in future), has USB2 but a PCIe card can fix that, and has DDR1600 support

Or... you could get an ATX case and a new ATX motherboard :p

Yeah I was going to add that almost all RAM, at least to my knowledge, is natively 1333MHz. The 1600MHz sets are just tested and rated to run at 1600MHz, and therefore using it at that speed is overclocking. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

You are right, it doesn't. I like your suggestion about an additional card. I'm having a hard time finding a mobo that has usb 3.0 and supports ddr3 1600 :/

AMD CPU may or may not run at that ram speed they list here as Supports up to DDR3-18662 but the 2 then reads.

"1866 supported with 1 DPC (DIMM per Channel) in single memory slot motherboard designs"

http://www.amd.com/u...l-features.aspx

The modo I listed listed above does have USB 3 but not SATA 3 and this one has both if you can get it but some of the SATA ports may be blocked if the GPU card is too long.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
