i think its good deal. will this assist me in my quest towards a decent gaming machine? any response will be greatly appreciated.
will that board work with my cpu? the bus speed on the board is 1333 where my cpu bus is 800.
and on the question of my case size, the power supply says atx 300 so i assume its the correct dimensions.
thanks

thanks for the sale damian. but as i said i have no cash on me and i just put that 8500 up for sale. also whats the point of 800s if the only board i can afford doesnt support them?
...and the cake IS a lie.
