Computer part compatability

Hey guys, i'm currently about to build a new computer, and althought it is not my first time doing this by far, the ammount of money i am spending this time is higher, and i wanted to check before i ordered the parts that they would fit. Please could you guys check for me, to make sure i don't end up with parts that won't work together.

Many thanks to anyone who can do this massive favor for me.

Will AM3 fit in AM3+? I dunno, I'm an Intel guy, but regardless...

All other connections and such, you're golden. good call on the Modular power supply. Should be all good, AFAIK.

I just checked on the asus website and it's listen on that motherboard as being compatible. I would have preferred an intel but at this moment in time AMD is the best route for me to take, as i can get more for my money, but money no object i would go for intel. Thank you alot for checking that for me, it's come up with screen and mouse etc at about £1500 which is my largest build so far, and i just wanted to check.

Also, i would never buy a non modular power supply, i tried it once, and it was just soo horrible, i don't want to be doing that, especially seen as i will be upgrading to 16GB of ram and 200GB SATA III SSD when i can afford it.

Once again, many thanks.

No problem fellow Michael. I was just not so familiar with the AMD Processor architecture (I think I may have used it once...) so yeah.

Unfortunately, my current machine was non-modular. I made it modular. (By that I mean, cut off extra leads) And this machine was about 1750 USD when I got it, so yeah.

Cheers!

No the AMD AM3+ sockets use a different chipset, but there are more and more motherboards being released that have support for this chip. I would do a reasonable amount of research into parts you are not too sure about.

They do work Ebotman16, i'm on my new pc now, and it's all working great :D Haven't had the opportunity to test it's limits yet but i should run some games tomorrow to see what i get. I didn't get the water cooler in the end as i couldn't afford it, but the one that comes with it is working ok, under stress test the high is 46, not ideal, but low enough i can wait a month before i get the water cooled cpu cooler, and seen as other than stress test i havent got y cpu over about 30% i can't see it being too much of a problem.

Cheers for all the help guys :D
