it's a bit lower than 800, I think it's about 780$. Extra money for some more case fans or maybe a higher capacity SSD.

Call it "'momentum's budget build"

My dedicated GPU still won't work. How do I disable my onboard graphics in the bios menu?

[Tømpson]

Anyway if you are prepared to fork out $80 or more you'll get at least 30-40FPS in games on med detail or more.

I know. It's a beast and its compact. (Sorta) I would like to know what kind of temperatures its getting :)

$350.  From scratch.  40 FPS on max settings running BL under Wine (Ubuntu 12.10).

What kind of mobo do you have?

What kind of mobo do you have?

A gigabyte one. Anyway I found out myself but now nothing will show up even when I try through my dedicated GPU.

Removing the problematic card should work, although I'm not an expert

[beachbum111111]

Is this the way the card is supposed to be set up?

[WALK2222]

I think I might just buy another motherboard.  Because I believe the one I have is fried :C

Could someone suggest me a motherboard, that is relatively cheap?

Must be:

Micro ATX
Must be compatible with socket type shown below.  (CPU AMD Phenom II)


Thanks!

I would love to find one around $50 if that would be possible :/

That looks right. Make sure it's fully in the PCI-E slot and check the power cables. I thought I fried my gpu for like 30 minutes but then I just fixed the power cable and it worked fine.

Make sure it is in the PCI slot all the way, reconnect the power connectors, try another PCI slot, reboot, etc, etc. Just troubleshoot all the possibilities that could be effecting the card.

Why did you buy a phenom
whyyyyyy

I think the PCI-E slots are numbered, so he should probably stick to the first one.
