Hey buddy, Thanks for the tips, but what I did was I removed the processor and cleaned the contacts, double checked the connections, like you said, booted up and it started beeping like crazy. Then I removed one of the RAM memories and I was able to get into the BIOS, then I removed the...

Hey guys, Well i got all my parts, I plugged everything, but there is one problem (like always) I boot up up and all I get is a black screen with no beeps. Sounds like the hard drive is not doing anything. Its brand new, not formatted or anything, just plugged in. I tried putting this...

Awesome! Thanks buddy! I appreciate it! I was thinking of going with a 650, because I found another test and I got about 611, I think those calculators dont work! LOL!!

Ok guys here's what my baby is going to look like: Motherboard: Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz Graphics Card: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB GDDR5 RAM: Corsair DHX 4 GB (2 X 2 GB) DDR2 800MHz Dual 5-5-5-18 Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue500GB 7200 RPM SATA...

Awesome! Thanks buddy! I appreciate it!

Ok, cool buddy! Thanks for the info! So pretty much I just have to look for a hard drive that is SATA or SATA II, and I'm good to go with this motherboard?

Ok, now I need a hard drive, I'm checking out this motherboard and it says: Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s Headers: 5 Serial ATA 3.0Gb/s Headers: 1 - External I guess that also means that I can get a hard drive that is a Serial ATA II, is that correct? I also read that a 7200 RPM is good for the type of...

Ok, cool, I didnt know that. I know that DDR3 is newer and more advanced than DDR2, but I wasnt sure about the above! Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, but the first thing I ordered was 2 x 2GB of RAM DDR2, but I can still get this MB and use them right, and in the future upgrade to DDR3?

LOL! Thanks man! Yea, my first build was an AMD, never did like Intel, but I like this build I think its good, I feel that its good. I've seen youtube videos and they post their PC specifications, and im like wow i want that! And I grab their ideas and put them into mine!

My planned out build: MB: Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 - 955 - 945 Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5670 or Sapphire ATI RADEON HD 5750 RAM: Corsair DHX 4 GB (2 X 2 GB) DDR2 800MHz Sorry it took so long, I'm at work, got carried away with my resposabilities! LOL! And to...

Yea, to be honest I was just guessing, because the last time I looked into my power supply was 4 years ago, and I've read much more since I posted that, so I'm guessing its a 500 to 600 watt power supply, seems like i need a more powerful one, which I will get. I'm going to post my build right...

LOL! That's exactly what I wanted to do! But guess what! I lost the auction thankfully!! WHEW!! So im looking into a few cards now and hopefully get one within these days! Thanks for that clarification on the Phenom and Phenom II, thats what I thought because of the MHZ, but still, I mean...

Well I was dumb enough to actually bid on Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB, I thought it was good but I guess its not really that good, right now the auction is at $45.99. Actually, I found reviews of the product on youtube AFTER i bidded on it, murphy's law follows me like always! I mean, the...

Thanks for the links man, I appreciate it. Let me ask one question: I googled an article and I read that the motherboard that I posted and the AMD model (Phenom) are the best for gaming, so I have to ask this question (i know its stupid but like I said before I aint that good with computers) is...
