Yes, though you may have to remove the backplate that comes with the motherboard and replace it with the one included in this kit.

All boards have this mounting hardware on it. I looked up a few pictures of the board you are getting, and the hardware is on it. It looks a little different, but it's the same hardware.

Yes, it comes with an AMD fan/heat sink that works very well. If you plan to overclock, then you should probably look for an after-market set up.

...Yes....anything "socket 775" will fit & work well...the bios will auto-set the required voltages for you. It's actually a very good board!....I like ASRock boards.

mine came with a 960gm-gs3 fx, not a very good motherboard to be honest. not many options for upgrading and no extra pciex16 for sli or crossfire

I have two titans and neither came with a backplate, but amazon sells them http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-TITAN-Graphics-Backplate-M021-00-000023/dp/B00GS9S4HI

I bought this MOBO since december 2009, I know the holes that receive the screws are made with a kind of non conductors to avoid short circuit from the case(the same purpose for back face plate), I don't remenber if back face plate came in because I didn't use it, trust me you can buy this board, or ask the seller

I'm not entirely sure but I'm almost positive that this late in the game the board should come with a Bios that will recognize your AM3+ processor.You can also go to the Overclock.net forums, they have the " Gigabyte GA-990FXA-Series Owners Thread/Club " and post your concerns and in no time you should have a reliable answer.Good luck, I myself am thinking of buying this board also.

I have the EVGA GTX 770 Classified 4Gb with ACX cooler. The back plate is an optional accessory. It is not included on the one I bought (04G-P4-3778-KR), but is available from EVGA for ~ $20.

The Asrock AMD 990FX Extreme9 AMD 3-Way CrossFirex is that is the one that is compatible you need a board with the 990fx chipset

I use only Asus Mobo so the smallest one would be the: Asus F2A55-M/CSM FM2 Socket it is a MicroATX , Socket FM2, AMD A55 FCH, DDR3 2400 over clock (OC) MHZ Memory, Raid, 8-CH Audio Gibabit LAN USB 3.0, PCIe 2.0 QUAD-GPU CrossFireX Ready. This was on www.tigerdirect.com Item# A455-8503 I have never used the Micro boards But in my opinion Asus is the best boards out there (on 11/16/2013 the price was 72.33 you might be able to find it on sale from other sites cheaper so please check around.... Hope this helps

if your computer case has a cut-out on the motherboard tray, yes. you need access to the back of the motherboard to install the back plate. hope that helps!

It does not support AMD FX processors because they are AM3+ socket and this board is FM2+. The AMD A8/ A10 line will work because they are FM2+ socket.

Yeah it will work, but I suggest getting Corsair platinum, I have the blue vengeance and it works VERY well, but the platinum would fit better with most color schemes, not to mention if you get 4x2 platinum it would be KILLER FAST for your motherboard. less ram memory the faster, but dont go any less than 8 gigs!

I have the regular GTX 780 with the ACX cooler and it fits fine. Nothing gets in the way of installing the backplate on these ACX cards. Hope this helps!

What I would build that one with is a 990 series mb which is a am3+ series mb's. MSI has them Gigabyte,Asrock just look for AM3+ and you will see the 990 number in the descriptions.

Yes. Although in the AM3 family, AM3 CPUs will work on AM2/AM2+ boards provided the bois is up to date. If you decide to install it and your bios is NOT up to date, you can download it from the official asus website, however this must done at your own risk. Alternatively, if you already have the CPU in your possession, I would recommend you consider purchasing a slightly newer board with an AM3+ socket.http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/

On my case the mother board back was exposed so it was easy to put on the backplate. So if you might need to take the board out if you don't have access to the back of it.
