That is a good build, what are you going to be using it for?

Plus, I don't know about the motherboard running with the CPU, the mobo says it's a socket 770 when the CPU says 720 (770 doesn't equal 720, you know what I'm saying), so you will have to wait until another forum member takes a look I guess.

But the rest is :good::good:

the socket for the mobo is AM2/AM2+. The socket for the CPU is AM3. 2 different sockets, thus will not work. You will need to find your self either a different mobo (socket AM3) or a different CPU (socket AM2/AM2+, either will work).

Also, 550 is low for the 4890, get at least 600, i would say 650-700.

If possible go for the 780 chipset, it is alot better than the 770. There are AM3 socket 780's, they might all be AM3's I'm not sure.

Should work perfectly

AM3 CPU work at AM2+ socket...

I figured this but wanted to confirm .. good thing. And about the mobo I was told it could support the am3 hmm.. guess I better look into that.

Edit:Found PSU, Still looking into the mobo though.

That cpu is on the supported cpu list for that board.

Yes the Mobo works with the cpu, Now I'm looking for a full hd monitor to go with all of this any suggestions?

Do you need Full HD? Will you be plugging in any true HD components?

I'm going to be using it to watch HD movies and such, Also going to be used for ps3/360. I was looking at the asus and acer models on newegg also the Dell S2409W, But I'm not too sure.

For a 24" 1080p(HD) monitor, take a look at this asus, excellent monitor for the price:

Or you could go 1920x1200(above 1080p), 24"(vs 23.6"), and webcam for $50 more(but imo not really worth it for a only little higher res, webcam and 0.4more inches):

Not gunning at you or anything just wanted to note that there is no physical difference between AM2/2+/3 as far as the socket type. There's only slight performance differences such as the HyperTransport size. AM3 support can be fixed on an AM2+ mobo with a simple BIOS update that, from what I can tell, most manufacturer's have been producing.

This is the one I had my eye on, I appreciate all the help.

Already stated more than once.

I only saw posts stating that they would work, but not why. I just wanted to put out the difference to help anyone out who may come across this thread and not quite understand how it works.
