I will be getting my ASUS P8Z77-V Z77 MB ATX 2400 (O.C) SLI Crossfire motherboard today that will be running the Intel Core i7-2600K. I have an old EVGA GeForce 8800GT and was curious if I could use it on this board. I've been out of this for quite a while and don't really know how old components work with new ones. What are the considerations when placing older components into newer boards? Will the on-board Intel® HD Graphics (CPU embedded) display surpass the capabilities of said card?
thanks. I don't really plan on playing games at this point as I use my 360 for that, but HD movies are definitely a must. It will fit into the case as it supports up to about 13 inches, and the 750W PSU will be enough. What you said about the PCI-E slot was my biggest concern. Thanks for addressing that. – KiloJKilo – 2012-04-18T16:29:33.930
I am using an i3 with the HD2000, and it plays HD movies without a problem (on linux, but should make no difference). – Baarn – 2012-04-18T16:32:29.680
