MSI AMD A55 MicroATX DDR3 1600 370 Motherboards FM2-A55M-E33

no add ons going to use built in GPU (build for my dad).


and

I3 3220... MotherBoard Consideration

MSI LGA1155/Intel B75/DDR3/SATA3 and USB 3.0/A and GbE/MicroATX Motherboard B75MA-E33

Plan on adding a 7770 card to this setup


Any Horrid experiences with why I shouldn't buy before I do?

Thanks!

For the lazy: FM2-A55M-E33 and B75MA-E33

Thanks. I guess those numbers are really hard to read...

Edit the main thing is the B75MA-E33 supporting an AMD 7770 Video Card. It's a low power card. Dual Slot.

The AMD is just a no frills web surfing movie watching machine.

I don't have any first-hand experience, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Both are PCI-e 3.0, nothing to get in the way on the board... there's quite a few 7770's... all I would suggest is that you get one with the external power connection rather than the ones that run off the PCI-e alone (dual-slot variant pretty much implies that though).

well, I went ahead and bought these since I looked at all the reviews and didn't really see anything too bad. Just the average DOA's.

Thanks!
