So i got a new computer on order/being made

It will fit if he uses a hammer. Would love to see photos of that when he's done OP.

Oh no, the 3770 will fit in the 2011 socket, just like you can fit a small rock in a large container. It just won't work, and the wrongly placed grounding pins and the increased power delivery will probably break/fry/destroy (delete verb(s) as per personal preference) the CPU. The other way around, of course, would be like trying to fit a large rock in a small container (i.e. the container or the rock will break).

But hey, we're just strangers on the Internet with decades of combined IT and computer building experience, what do we know?

^^^ Is my new signature btw.

My question to the OP is, why not just build it yourself? You will save an assload of money and learn how computers are assembled in the process. There are literally thousands and thousands of PC build guides and walkthroughs on the internet and books in stores/libraries.

OP is getting severely ripped off, shane is a grease ball.

You never got back to us on what he'd typed in a hurry. What did that mean? Was it a 3930k or 3820 processor, or a Z77 motherboard?

While I agree with the haha in this post, not nice, Inux :-p

This thread should be used as proof to all as to why you should ALWAYS check with people before buying parts.
