Upgrading PC, want to make sure everything is fine
So I'm upgrading my computer and want to make sure everything is compatible/I didn't make any stupid hardware choices. I have a deceht harddrive, dvd drive etc so I wont bother posting them all as I've recently bought them and I'm sure they'll work with my new mobo.
My shopping list Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131570 processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103531 Vid card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121003 PSU: http://www.fsp-group.com.tw/english/...d=33&proid=376 Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820144001 note: I'm going to get a 1gb one, not 512mb. Is DDR266 ram on par with the rest of the components or should I get something better? I'd prefer not to as I already own a 512mb DDR266 ram and it'd be compatible with that. |

A 200W PSU is nowhere near sufficient. YOu need something in the range of 450W. FSP is a good choice.
You'll want all DDR400. What are the other parts you have? Go ahead and list them to make sure everything is compatible/up to par.

Why are you getting a micro ATX motherboard with onboard video when you are getting a high powered video card? Get a A8N5X. You will want a full size 450+ watt ATX 2.0 PSU for that thing, the cheapest one I'd recommend is the XClio 450w. Concur, DDR400 is mandatory. Sell the stick you have and buy a dual channel kit of DDR400 Corsair value select.
If you presently have a micro ATX case - or worse, a NAME BRAND computer, forget it - get a full size case. The Antec Sonata II is a very good case and it comes with a proper power supply. |
