I have a Gigabyte mobo. Good choice. I don't have that specific model |
| 9 |

Prices are coming down on those so that could be a good move. Also, if |
| 17 |
you use CD/DVD/Blueray to backup data, also a good idea to have this. |

If you go to Gigabyte's website and look up your mobo, there is a link |
| 24 |
on the right that tells you what CPUs and memory are tested and BIOS |
| 25 |
version needed too if CPU is very new. Generally they test the larger |
| 26 |
brands on memory but it gives you a good idea what works. I used G |
| 27 |
Skill and I have had no problems. I have 16Gbs on mine. Crucial and |
| 28 |
others are good to tho. Just get the fastest speed the mobo can handle. |

On the fit issue. My CPU cooler does touch one of my coolers on the |
| 31 |
memory card. It just needs a extra 1/8" to be clear of it but it does |
| 32 |
touch. I have a LARGE CPU cooler tho. I bought about the biggest they |
| 33 |
had at the time that was within reason price wise. My CPU does run very |
| 34 |
cool tho. I have a Cooler Master HAF-932 case. Lots of large fans. |

My video card was donated. It's Nvidia based so that does not apply |
| 45 |
since you want ATI. |

If you want links and such, let me know. I bought mine from newegg to. |
| 58 |
I'm pretty sure my CPU cooler will fit yours but it is big. The one |
| 59 |
that comes with the CPU is really small. I wouldn't trust that. |

Hope this helps. |
