Im not sure how to post the stats of my components so if someone can direct me better please let me know how and what info i need to post.

Answer 1

Right click My Computer on your desktop and select properties. This will tell you your proc and how much ram.  My guess is that if you have a new-ish intel proc you're using DDR2 ram...

While the 680i mobo is an older model, it's still solid. the Video card is also so-so.

Answer 3

Your stuff should fit in. But, I would upgarde your mobo to a 750i. And your video card to an 8800GT.

Answer 4

The 680i is a very nice board. I would not suggest the 8500gt graphics card though. Its out of date and slow. Technology moves very fast so i would suggest an 8800gt card from nvidia. Its the best price to performnace ratio out today. It would be helpful to post your pc stats because you will need to know the wattage of your psu and if it has the right connections. You will also need to know the socket type of you cpu and the type of ram you have.

Heres what i would get:
