Building Opinions. Motherboard suggestions.

[Fet]

I am currently building my first PC for gaming (nothing fancy) and am hoping to learn a lot from this build. I need suggestions, opinions, and ideas. Everything helps a lot and will be appreciated.

My current Build:

- Rosewill R604TBLK-N Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W Dual fan ATX2.01Power Supply with 20+4 pin main connector and air filter

- Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

- MSI NX7900GT-VT2D256E-HD Geforce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor 2000MHz HT 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor

- Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 ST3120813AS 120GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive


- LITE-ON Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache ATAPI/E-IDE DVD Burner W/ LightScribe

- MASSCOOL WhisperRock II 5F263B1M3 80mm Ball Cooling Fan/Heatsink

I am kind of hesitant on the motherboard I picked out, I am not sure if it can support my processor. I am not looking to go over the $700 mark.

Thank you all very much for the reply’s in advance.

Thank you, I added that power supply. Also, what was the issue with Rosewill power supply? Couldn’t support my Video Card properly?

Off brand power supplies are generally not trustworthy. We don't recommend them for lots of reasons and yeah some gpu's need a specail connector.
