    I realize that Sam is already engaged here, but do you have ANY idea how over-broad your request is?

    I can spec out stuff that would work in a price range from $200 to $2000 or more.

    Besides that, you don't seem to understand that many of your component choices are predicated on other choices, starting with the CPU.

    You have a choice of over 70 CPUs for this motherboard.

    Sorry, but you're going to have to narrow it down a little before I'm gonna get involved.

    Oh, and BTW "the best one" is not narrowing it down.

    Let me explain. Usually, requests for a whole set of components based on one are for new PC builds, which is fine enough, but the 965P-DS3 is a very old motherboard, and hasn't been available for ages. It's an exceptional board for its time, but it doesn't support a lot of the newer technology that you can use in a new PC, especially processors.

    What is the PC for, and what is your budget?

    My boss just asked me to make it, and price is not a factor nor problem, as long as its compatible. Thanks

    If price is no problem, then why not start from the "ground up"?

    You are saving relatively little money by keeping the "case shell" and the motherboard.

    To quote (and agree with) Sam, "the 965P-DS3 is a very old motherboard".

    Almost any power supply and motherboard will fit in that case.

    It's kind of like building a car around a 327 short block "just because you have one lying around.

    Not that there's anything wrong with a 327 short block.

    Well, it time is not an issue, you can shop for components that won't break the bank and still be a good match. The motherboard supports a wide range of CPUs.

    What are you going to be using it for and what's the life expectancy?
