I paired it with an ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 (About $60), 8 Gb Memory (2X4Gb) and it performs great with MS Office, Email, Facebook and games. Very fast.

What I would build that one with is a 990 series mb which is a am3+ series mb's. MSI has them Gigabyte,Asrock just look for AM3+ and you will see the 990 number in the descriptions.

I have an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard and it has given me no problems at all. I have one SSD Hard Drive and 2 other Hard drives with 3 external Hard Drives and an external DVD R/W drive. I recommend ASUS Motherboards.

Sorry, it wont work because you need LGA 1150, which is like the number of pins on your cpu, and that motherboard only has LGA 775.

What the responder said Am3+ is fine. Look at the details on the coolers the block compatibility shows what types of motherboards are good.

Should work with good power supply, but I newer try. Ask to Gigabyte support team.

You need to know what socket (ie:11500 the mother board will accept. Then match it to the processor.

I am personally using the Corsair H100i system for mine that I am currently in the process of building, i am also geting the same processor and motherboard as you also. The Corsair system may be you best bet

It should - this is an amazing mobo. 200% happy with it. Awesome bios features and high high high quality construction. The supported chip sets should be under the device specs

I have that motherboard and Corsair Vengeance works fine. Just make sure you use the recommended slots.

No, the mother board is really short. You'll need to get a different motherboard for that.

It should work. First make sure that the motherboard has a PCI Express 2.0 or higher, if so, it has to work.

A power suppuy with 600 watts will be enough, make sure it has 2 pci express of 4 and 8 pins, and remember to be sure its compatible with your motherboard

All mother board power connects are near the same u will be fine as long as it isn't a server mother board. Which it isnt

It should work but the more important question is: what is your motherboard? Compatibility with your mobo is more crucial than your CPU. Also, it is always a good idea to update you bios when you upgrade any of these 3:CPUGPUMemory ram

This is a good processor. as long as the motherboard is capable you should be good. Also you should alway keep your bios up to date.

a good (much cheaper) replacement is the MSI A88X-G45 Gaming motherboard. when using this however, make sure to use a socket fm2/fm2+ cpu/apu
