The thing is i don have much money right now..........i can afford a good mother board but not a good graphics card........i'm not into games........im going to use the pc for RECORDING.....i need a motherboard with good sound device..........and moderate video card. Please help me, which motherboard to buy right now.

It looks like that MB should support your CPU.

Do you have all the power connectors plugged in?
There should be a square 4 pin power connector plugged in by the CPU. Also, you probably should have a 6 pin power connector plugged into your Video card - not sure what you have, but this is pretty common with todays VC's.

I really don't know what to suggest you get for a Video card as I'm not familiar with your budget for this or your Market's pricing.

There are really a lot a good relatively inexpensive cards available these days. Check out some Video card benchmark sites and compare the pricing for what's available to you, you should be able to do pretty well.

the price here is almost the same..........and almost everything is available here..........my budget is maxm 60$ and i have no idea about gfx card...please help me:S:S

Your best bet would be to ask on the Video Card forum for your budget.

The folks on there are going to give you much better advice in that price range than I could. I generally only upgrade my Video card every two years or so, and then it's usually the mid to upper range.

You might also want to pick up a new keyboard your period key appears to stick....

If you are not going to be playing any games ANY video card will work fine. As long as it physically is compatible with your motherboard and your OS buy the cheapest one you can find (just make sure its a brand you have at least heard of).

8400GS, maybe 7600GS. That's what I'd say if your budget is <$100.
