OK, you didn't say what the system will be used for, which makes this tough to call. It all looks compatible. But whether you are a gamer or not, you really should make a change to this configuration, for better performance (NOTE: it might even save you money)



The video card you chose is a very low-end video card. It would be OK for general purpose web browsing and office apps., but terrible for gaming. Even for a GP workstation, you can do better for less money.



I would suggest that you DELETE the video card, then replace both the motherboard and the video card with this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157200

Built-in graphics chips have a bad rep as far as performance goes. But the HD 4250 is a rather high-end ATI graphics solution (as far as integrated graphics go) and it's going to perform much better than a low-end dedicated card like the Geforce 210.



If you replace mainboard and video card with that motherboard, you probably just saved a little money. Now you'll have a better performing system for less money. AND, when you save up some more money, you can always add a better video card later, like a HD 5770 or something.



Also, the power supply you chose is garbage. I'd suggest you replace it with a Antec Earthwatts EA-500D or a Silverstone ST50F-ES 500W. Either one will be much MUCH better quality than Rosewill. And both are a good size to support your system, even if you add a dedicated (mainstream quality) video card later.

Hi, the parts are compatible, but you need some help with getting a more balanced pc. You have an excellent dual core processor, yet have a horrible graphics card. If you want a gaming pc, you need a lot more balance, but it doesn't mean spending any more money ;)



You don't need a 700w power supply for that pc, and the one is selected isn't very good amps wise. Which means if you do upgrade your graphics card later on, you'll get crashing and all sorts of problems.



Also for Hard drives, I wouldn't buy a Seagate. They are the fastest and one of the cheapest. but in my experience seem to have an alarmly high failure rate. Samsung and Western Digital are the drives of choice



Here you go, a list compiled from newegg. This is what i'd recommend for a gaming pc in the $550 range

>This motherboard accepts only one DDR3 memory speed, DDR3 1600. So I think you might have a problem here.



See the specs here for the motherboard:



http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176&Tpk=ASRock%20M3A770DE



This motherboard also has a VIA sound chipset which, on that account alone, I would not buy. VIA used to make north and southbridge chipsets years ago but got out of the business when ATI decided to jump into the chipset business. I don't think VIA is a good alternative for sound and you may well have problems finding updated drivers for it.



Surprise surprise! Realtek makes the LAN chipset...lol..why the heck did they put a VIA chipset on the board for sound and then turn around and do something flakey like put a Realtek chipset on there for the LAN? I guess they couldn't hack the cost of a Gigabit Ethernet LAN, huh?



I think there is a lot not to love about this motherboard.

there is also the site www.oggus.com that simply sell licenses only, Windows 8 is $ 50 (you need a Paypal account to pay).

I bought my Windows 7 Ultimate license on earlier this year and I have not had an activating problem.

should just find the iso operating system (I have downloaded from the Microsoft site, I do not know if is also easy for Windows 8), the site provides links but I think probably not in French.
