How is INTEL CORE i3 2100 OR i3 2100T ON INTEL DH61WWB3 MOTHERBOARD ?

How is INTEL CORE i3 2100 OR i3 2100T ON INTEL DH61WWB3 MOTHERBOARD, according to Performance AND Heat?
:hmm:

LOOK AT SPECIFICATION :
PROCESSOR - INTEL CORE i3 2100 3.10 GHz OR INTEL CORE i3 2100T 2.50 GHz
MOTHERBOARD - INTEL DH61WWB3
RAM - 4GB DDR3 (1 STICK)
POWER SUPPLY - 550WATT

GPU - ATI HD 6770 OR ATI HD 6850 OR HD 6790(neglect the P.S.U it will require)


MOBO i mentioned, supports PCI-Express 2.0.

- But, is this Mother-Board suitable to support this GPU?

- How do you Benchmark the INTEL CORE i3 2100 3.10 GHz on INTEL DH61WWB3 ?
- How do you Benchmark the INTEL CORE i3 2100T 2.50 GHz ?
According to Factor of : Performance AND HEAT ?
D:

P.S - I have heard, NOT sure that, this board is in-capable of supporting the GPU's I mentioned and arise a FACTOR OF LOW PERFORMANCE AND OVER HEAT.
PLEASE CORRECT ME.

Hello and welcome...

First and foremost what are you using the box for? For HTPC, home server and websurfing, you will be OK with "T". for encoding, trans Transcoding and gaming "non-T" will be helpful. there will be a performance difference based on the task so it all depends on your purpose.

PSU is more than enough unless you are thinking about crossfire or SLI.

You mobo is just fine, although if you can, go with H67, its a newer chipset and most of them have USB 3.0!
H61 is fine too all of them can handle all the GPUs you mentioned, and again, depends on what you planning to use this box for, but it almost seems like the GPU will be overkill for the kind of config you have. The GPU will perform at this max, no problems there, but IMHO, whats the use? you almost do not have a matching CPU

Based on the parts you mentioned, you definitely will not be OCing, no heat is not you problem at all. you DO NOT need to worry about heat at any point.

Firstly - PC is build for MID-TO-HIGH-SETTING GAMING + HD MOVIES
(I'm not gonna go for Over-clocking the CPU OR the GPU)

People say, rest of the configuration is good, except MOBO.
-Which they verdict. as LOW Performance OR Entry LEvel MOBO

Please sugg. me ur choice MOBO, keeping in mind the needs for the building the pc, and with the rest of the configuration.

Thank you.

Overclocking is out of the question as the motherboard and CPU does not support overclocking at all. The cheaper Core i3 2100 will be better in this rig as it has Intel HD2000 instead of the HD1000 on the Core i3 2100T.

I agree with DesiPower, get a H67 board instead as the H61 chipset has too little features for future expandability. USB 3.0 support is important as USB 3.0 devices become more and more popular. If you insist on sticking with a H61 then try this instead. Ideally, a H67 board like this is a way better choice.

As for the GPU, the HD5850 is a winner over the other two.
