Motherboards Will this mobo fit with my processor?

I went through the http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/10/02/what-hardware-should-i-buy-october-2008/2 post and bought the graphics card, cpu and now i need to buy the mobo. But the one in novatech is not available anymore. Will this mobo work well with my cpu? http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?MSI-P7NSLP

Thankyou

 

Welcome!

I'm glad you find our buyers guide helpful

That motherboard will work but it's a lot more expensive. Other alternatives include:

or

That board will work, however you may be better off sticking with a P35 based board. The Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G appears to be in the same price range as the MSI in the original article, so may be worth a look. If you search for P35 or P45 there are a few other boards with additional features like eSATA, etc.

edit: it seems I type too slowly

 

Thanks, but i would rather it came from Novatech because it is very close to me!

I found the ones there on novatech but they are even more expensive.
I dont think they are exactly the same but they are very similar here - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/products/a554x1y0z1p0s0n0m125

Edit: Thanks Trigger,that one is in my price range and looks good! I'll go get that one now

 

This actually works surprisingly well: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?GIG-EP313L, we overclocked a CPU using it here: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/06/11/building-a-400-gaming-pc/5

or: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?GIG-EP453L - much more recent design, with better features.

I would try and select others but the Novatech site is seriously slow this morning

 

Okay i'm confused on what to get now!

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?GIG-P35S3G (out of stock at the moment)
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?GIG-EP313L
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?GIG-EP453L

Which one should i get?

 

I am using this - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?MSI-P43NF.

It works a treat for me (no OC) and I believe its very good value for money.

 

The P45 if you can afford it, otherwise the P31 will do just fine. Or, the MSI below is also a pretty good buy too.

Are you intending to overclock? How many hard drives/PCI/PCI-Express slots do you need? Both these question should dictate your purchase

 

if you only need one pci-e slot the P31 is a great choice
