Compatability Questions

Hi everyone. I am building my PC, and I was wondering if you could check out my list of items to see if they are all compatible with eachother. Thanks

Case

Mother Board

CPU

Memory

I'm pretty sure any Hard Drive will fit in there, so I'm not concerned about that or the DVD drive. How does this system look so far? Any suggestions?
Oh, also, will this Video Card fit onto the mother board?
Thanks,
Derek
 
Looks Good

Everything Will work together just be sure you ordered a heat sink for the processor It did not say if it came with one. I was unable to pull up the page for the video card it errored out but you can use any PCI Express Video Card.
 
Do you need a certain fan or heatsink to go on the CPU? Also, Would you recommend getting a AGP slot?
Thanks,
Derek
 
NO, that video card will not work with your currently selected motherboard. The video card you have there is AGP8x. The motherboard only supports the newer PCIexpress video cards. Here are a few that i suggest and are in the same price range:

These video cards WILL be compatible with the motherboard. I have tried to keep to the price that the previous card was at.

Hope this helps......?
 
Thanks a lot everyone, that helped a ton.

What would be the best card out of all the ones mentioned above? I think I might cut back on the case, and put some more money towards the card. Are some of those cards better for video-editing?
Thanks a lot,
Derek
