Awsome! Thanks for reply! Well, I am a cheep-scape when it gets to CPU's, but then...(dealing with graphic cards) the graphic card wouldn't be able to fit in the motherboard I picked?? I have a mid-Tower to put the microATX mobo, but what you gave me. I'll look into it. Anyways, the CPU (quad-core) isn't recommended for gaming...you got me in a state of vertigo philosophizer ha. Wouldn't quad be like...I don't know...four CPU's together, and duo would be two CPU's??? [4:2 ratio] I did pass Math and I do think there would be a difference...should be.

Oh I should also tell you that I'm using an ancient tower, so many things like the PSU, or the optical drives I don't really know of. But I can tell you this! I have two optical drives that are "Double Layer 8x DvD+/-RW & 48x CD-ROM Drives". I may have to get a better PSU because the Wattage of that...THING should be like 300W, which is nothing right? The hard drive is also something I need to add.

P.S: Can a ATX motherboard fit in a mid-tower????

Another P.S: The PCI Express 2.0 x16 is suppose to be only for graphic cards? And what is the difference between a PCI Express 2.0 x16 and a PCI Express x16??? Is it the speed?

Sincerely,
Geeksire
