Will my motherboard be able to handle a Quad-Core?

Are you going with the Athlon II or Phenom?

If the athlon II, no.

If phenom, yes.

You should really go with the Athlon II for this reason, and that the CPU and motherboard are both better.

I got the cooler master (tell me if I'm wrong that cooler master is a trusted brand) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...m_re=cooler_master_psu-_-17-171-028-_-Product the thing is I'm going to have 5 fans with two came with 3 pin which I can hook to my motherboard but the other 3 has 4pin. what if my PSU don't have many outlet? (computer noob here.)

You can daisy chain the 4 pin ones.

Which combo did you buy?
