Can I use GeForce GTS450 in the Intel DH67BL motherboard with the Intel i7 2600k processor?

Yea, but that's a very bad mismatching of parts.



1. H67 motherboards are meant for users who want to use the on-board graphics.

2. The Intel i7-2600k is an unlocked cpu, but a H67 motherboard cannot overclock so you should get a Intel 2600 CPU.

3. The GTS 450 is a weak card and it would be a pity to see such a nice CPU be stuck with a weak video card. At least get the GTX 460 which is 50% better than the GTS 450.

4. If it's for gaming, I strongly suggest the i5-2500k since the i7-2600k has no advantage over the cheaper i5-2500k.



I would suggest that you get a P67 motherboard instead. This will allow you to overclock your CPU.



Or, I would suggest that you get a much cheaper CPU such as the i3-2100 or i5-2300.



i3-2100+H67+no video card = cheap computer that you can do all the basic things on a computer minus gaming.



i3-2100+GTS450+H67 = cheap computer that can play some games but not the high graphics games



i5-2500k+GTX460+P67 = mid range computer that can play a lot of games in high graphics



i7-2600k+GTS450+H67 = expensive CPU on a computer that won't play the high graphics games.
