    first of all, you need to make more sense of what you posted.

    at the end of your post your going on about a budget/price... how can we do anything about that when you didn't even List a price, budget or anything related to the system your looking at. All you did was post a bunch of random, non punctuated Gibberish.

    Please format your posting and explain better exactly what it is your asking.

    as to whether the parts will work together, the GPU is compatible with the motherboard, as is the CPU and RAM, but how well they work together is another thing all together, yes they will work fine, but the RAM running at 1600MHz is not needed, unless you plan on Overclocking the CPU, otherwise 1333MHz RAM is good enough.

    It doesn't matter what the brands are (MSI Video card with Gigabyte Motherboard), as it has more to do with the actual standards and slots that are on these boards. The Video card is a PCI Express 2.0 card, the motherboard has a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot which is what you need, so yes it will work, has nothing to do with the brands.

    Ok but the problem is that I live in I Iraq so i didnt know that the budget if I put it in my post will be beneficial because the prices here different from yours..Anyway my budget is 1000$..
    another think I am asking about is..the whether (temp.)here sometimes reaches 45-50 c.So with this temp,is the system will be effected badly..do I have to change a piece according to that.Will the video card,cpu I put work well??..Thanks alot

    Without some kind of price, no matter what country you are in, we have no place to start.


    For every degree the ambient temperature goes up, your computer will go up a degree also.

    As far as compatibility is concerned, that is not an issue.
    Except for a few anomalies, any PCI-eX16 video card, will work with any motherboard with a PCI-e X 16 slot.

    Dose MSI work well with Gigabyte, is basically a silly question.
    Of course it dose. The little incompatibility that still exists, is memory, and that is rare, and mostly laptops.

    As for you temperature problem, MSI will have several cards with different cooling.
    So you want to find one with their better cooling solution.
    Frozen Cooler, or Twin Frozen Cooler.


    It all depends on cost, but aftermarket CPU cooling are better than stock.
    If it is a big problem, and you have the money, get water cooling.

    A link to a sight would help, us choose, as we have no idea what is available to you.

    ie My $1000 rig would include a HD 7850, for low power, and cooling.

    As good or maybe a little better than a 560Ti

    at least until nvidia gets off their butt and releases their competing cards to the 7850, as it is, the current cards seem to be as good or better in power consumption than Radeon HD 7000's.

    7850 uses 130W or so of power, and the current GTX 670 uses about 170W (about the same as the GTX 560 Ti uses, which is the 7850's range in performance, the GTX 660 is expected to be as good, if not better, and probably run on about similar wattage range)

    They need to get off their but in the sub $100 range as far as I can tell, also.

    If the GTX 660 is competitive, I'll give it a look.
    As you know,I'm no fan boy, just a price performance boy.

    LOL, what, the rebadged GT 630 isn't enough? ($100 range, rebadged GT 440 is all it is).

    Just kidding, no I agree, they need to get off their butts and get some additional cards in the $100-300 range soon. Supposedly there's multiple reasons, Excess GTX 570 stock, still having troubles with die process and manufactured cores for the GTX 600's (at least for the 670, 680's, which is why there's so few in stock all over).

    Excess 570's and 480's for that matter. I don't forsee a 660 until at minimum, mid - late august at this point.

    yep, thats why I've been looking at a couple cards for sale on OCN, one has a GTX 560 Ti for $160, another has a GTX 570 for $200. Might end up going the SLI route on a 560 Ti, or swap to a single 570 and SLI later in the year.

    Just a question now...I went today to buy the pieces of my pc..but I was shocked about the price of the Mobo..the gigabyte z77-d3h was for 350$..So I am now thinking of taking An MSI Mobo(which its price is reasonable)..My question is that How do you compare the gigabyte brand with the MSI one..Is it the same quality or not???

    just compare the features and price, both brands are fine for quality.

    Also you don't need to get a really high end Z77 Chipset board either, not sure what the pricing or exchange rates are over there, but over here in the US, a $130-150 Range Z77 board is perfectly fine.

    Prescription? This isn't a Pharmaceutical store or anything.

    Description? Listing? Specifications?


    As to suggesting one from Asus, I thought you were looking at MSI?

    Trust me, Asus will be more expensive than Gigabyte.

    if your looking to save money, do not buy Asus.

    That company has gotten so full of themselves over the years, If I can help it, I will not touch their Motherboards or video cards. Asrock I will, but Asus no. (Asrock is Asus' Budget subdivision or off shoot company, they make comparable and quality boards that have many of the same features as the Asus Boards, but at much lower prices.

    and actually on the market, Asrock is the only game in budget boards, aside from Biostar.

    MSI and Gigabytes better boards land between the Asrock and Asus pricing levels, though Asrock sells some higher end boards (as does MSI and Gigabyte) that fight in the same price ranges as the "lower" priced Asus boards do.

    do you have any sites in Iraq that your ordering from, or what ever online sites your ordering from, so we can see what is available over there?

    Ok bro...but I think that the guy who I asked him about the gigabyte is a kind of crazy..What I want to be clear to you that the gigabyte is "abnormally" expensive..and I am a kind of sure that I will find the Asus price much less..So just give me the model that fits with the rest of "prescription" (I use it for fun and cuz I am a medical student)
