I'm just going to take these three things out of my current computer (sony vaio) and put these in there. This is what i have so far and also can yall please post some suggestions incase they dont have one of them or something.

edit: Also I'm probably going to get a new game and the top two candidates were Call of Duty and Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. What game is the better one or what are some other games that you would recommend?

Check the power supply. I'm not sure what power supply is in that Sony Vaio but you need a minimum of 300 watts, preferably more.

F*ck whatever you buy don't spend it @ CompUSA. They suck. They charge a 15 or 20% return fee on ANY returns. They're ripoffs when it comes to the computer repair department. They don't pay on a lot of their rebates. You've been warned.

alright CompUSA had some crap but it was freaking outrageous so now i m buying from newegg!

are all the parts compatible and will all my things in my computer now work with this new mobo?
