I've got a M2N68-LA Mother Board
and I wanted to put the Mother Board in this Tower
with this Power Supply
and this Graphic Card but I wanted to know if all this is even compatible with each other.
Thanks.


Oh and will they play games like

Fallout:New Vegas
Team Fortress 2
Arma II
and if possible skyrim

Oh and My family member already made an account here it's just that I didn't now that at the time I created My account. so just so you know that this isn't a spam account.

The problem you will have is connecting the new case wires to the HP motherboard. The connections aren't standard like a retail motherboard would be. Your best bet would be to save some more money and buy a new motherboard and you'll also need a new copy of the operating system. You won't be able to use the OS from the HP on a new motherboard.
 
so all I would need is a new Mother Board and a new copy of windows 7 and I'd be fine?
any suggestions for cheap but good Mother Boards?

like could this work

Isn't the processor integrated on the mother board... I'm not that smart when it comes to computers.
and i use 4gb for the memory.

but I'd buy a power supply,Graphics Card,
Tower(the links are in the first post) and a mother board. also if needed to new ram too.
 
No the processor isn't integrated into the motherboard. It's under the heatsink/fan. You have to pick a motherboard that supports that processor unless you want to basically build a whole new system.
 
Okay what in total would I need to get
I mean what would You suggest thats cheap(like $299 maybe) but can still run the games listed above

Oh okay well the computer I have right now is a compaq presario and i was originally going to just take the mother board and 500gb HDD out of it and get the
parts shown in the links above for it like the tower,Graphics card and power supply but I don't know now.
 
Seriously, I would just start saving money and build a new system. Looks like you only have an athlon II 2ghz dual core processor.
 
I suggest another option.

Do a search for 'Computer Base units', which is (usually) the complete base with operating system, all you need to do is connect up your mouse,keyboard,monitor, etc. to get going.

Or you could also look at a 'Motherboard bundle', which is complete but no operating system.

There is plenty to choose from- The choice is yours.
