Hello, I am a new member to forums, please be gentle I am writing on here today for some help about a possible upgrade I may be doing, by July I should have approx £400 to spend. My rig is here: CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 630 @ 2.80 GHz Motherboard: ASUS M4A78LT-M-LE GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5750 1.0 GB RAM: 4GB PSU: HEC 550 Watt Screen: Samsung SyncMaster E2333HD HDD: 1TB Windows 7 Ultimate Keyboard + Mouse: Logitech G15 & Logitech MX518 Sound: Cambridge SoundWorks 4.1 As I said I will have the money by aprox July, and I was looking mainly at the Bulldozer core by AMD. Thanks - Terminator
Welcome to HWF! Yep all those parts seem to fit. According to sources, the Bulldozer cores will use an AM3+ socket and are expected to be backwards compatible with current AM3 motherboards. So keep caution, as nothing is sure about that yet, You don't want to buy a motherboard with the incorrect socket for the Bulldozer.
