Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H with a Gigabyte Geforce 8600GT?

[kadonga]

Hello,
I bought a motherboard Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H - Socket AM3 - Chipset 890GX - ATX and will use it to construct a new computer.
Right now i already ordered a AMD Phenome II X6 1090 - Socket AM3 (processor), and now my problem is with the graphic card.
I really don't want spend much more money, and like i have one Gigabyte Geforce 8600GT, I would like to know, in case someone can help, if I can sue this graphic card in the motherboard that I made reference.

Thanks

Yes you can *use the 8600gt in the quoted motherboard.

what PSU do you have? If you have a good,branded one get a Sapphire Raedeon 5770hd @4.5 k

The proccy wont even be utilised to full potential with the 8600gt.

What you mean..processor not used to full potential.

I mean wont the proccy be bottlenecked by the 8600? He can get lot better performance in games with better gpu.

It is the other way round. Processor supplies to the GPU. Plus the goal is always to have the CPU idling (or low) and the GPU doing most of the work.

Low-end CPU + high-end GPU = Bottleneck...

No, then you have a slow GPU.
