Would you use this MB for gaming?

Sure, it's got decent OC potential when paired with a nice CPU and it's very durable. It's my favorite MOBO that I've bought.

I use it for gaming. It's a great MB, even has some special features like the scout audio. OC is a breeze also.
1877925
Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.

No.I use an Intel brix i3 or i5. If you want game too, then i7.Then get mSATA drive and 8gb ram.Mount to wall.It's solid state, quiet, runs and works like a champ!I think i5 is enough but if you are heavy gamer and have $, use i7. Good luck. They're cool!

That is not something I use it for. I think based on what I have experienced though it would work fine. If that was what you wanted a pc for then I think the next model up would be better for the graphics you want. Better but not necessary. I am very happy with mine,

From the looks of things The MB only supports 6mb of L3 Cache whereas the processor runs at 8mb L3 cache.It would most likely work just fine however you could end up having some performance and cache issues as the L3 tries to feed into L2 cache at slower than rated for the processor.

Yes, it would be great for gaming with an additional good graphics card. EVGA makes some really nice ones for not much money.

This unit is used the same as an internal drive. I've never used it for gaming, but it should be okay except for the high-end stuff.

As to your system, these should work just fine. You basically have the same HP as mine. Technically I believe you could go even higher than the 4 GB's listed here. When I got mine I noticed a slight increase in speed but nothing worth really mentioning. Without knowing what you want to achieve can't say how much these will help. Also you didn't mention how much RAM you currently have. If your currently running 1GB per stick, will make a big difference. If you currently have 2 per, not so much. And if you already have 4 per, you won't see any change. But again, you should be able to run even higher than these 4's.

I would go to the Gigabyte site with this question. I am just a user like you.

I would assume that it is. It suits my needs perfectly, but I'm not a gamer. The added processor & memory sure can't hurt.

It'll work, but I think you would be a lot happier with its performance if you increase your RAM (to at least 4GB; even higher, if you can afford it). I would imagine your computer might struggle playing/burning Bluray with only 2GB (if that's what you're going to use it for).

If you buy a external RAM card or go here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259184 you probably can. 8gb is the max for gaming anyways, so don't really seems you need more (at least if you are going to use this PC for gaming).

you should be able to use it as long as the motherboard you have has a PCIe x1 slot but would not be good to use for a video card for gaming.

yes, should play just fine, just won't have all of the bells and whistles that a high-end desktop would. for another 45 bucks, you can go to Kingston and buy 2 4gig sticks of mem for an easy upgrade!

Yes, it should be fine with an 8GB stick and a 4GB stick. Though you'd get slightly more performance out of 2 x 8GB sticks.

Yes---you can go up to 16GB in 2 slots but to upgrade the graphics you really would need to put in a more powerful power supply as well.Keep in mind it is a rather small motherboard, unless CyberpowerPC has changed it in the past 6 months .Here are the MB specs http://us.msi.com/product/mb/H81ME33.html#/?div=BasicIt does nicely at gaming without changing anything, if that's what you want to use it for.

I have it, for the price its an excellent base to build with. USB 3.0 DDR3 1866 support, etc. For Gaming, the GPU is most important

yes it will work but you wont be using it at its fullest potential. but when you upgrade your MB down the line its ready for you.
