You can find 700W PSUs for $100, but they probably are mediocre. As for motherboards get GA-EP35-DS3L for intel.

Does the Motherboard come with processor and things? If not would mine work fine in it or would it create a problem?

[Murphyslaw4267]

No they do not come with processor and memory. That has to be purchased separately. You can probably get the PC Power and Cooling 650 watt power supply (I do not know the exact wattage). They are conservatively rated.

Not enough $ to buy the processor and memory. Trying to get enough money for the new power supply right now.

Start with the power supply and a few extra fans, then get the rest. A good power supply will last out a few mobo's.

Cheap but great PSU

Is there a big difference between the two? Going to try and get the PSU 1 either this week or next if not.

Basically they are the same, but the more expensive PSU (20 more bucks) will get you the modular plugs, I am a bit anal so being able to control how many cables are riddled through the box helps. It also makes cooling easier...

I have the OCZ psu shown below. I ran 4 gigs of ram, two 500GB harddrives, 2x8800GTS in SLI, and a E6600 cpu at no OC. It was plenty of power. I have since dumped one of the video cards and installed an XFi Extreme Gamer and it is still chugging along perfectly. The price after rebate is $89 and can't be beat. As for your current computer, the PSU seems plenty big enough to handle what you have. There isn't a real big power hog installed on your rig.

Not yet at least

[Murphyslaw4267]

I still think you should go with PC Power and Cooling. I have never had a problem with them, and the people I know who use them have never had a problem with them.

Awesome!!!

Interesting. I had never heard of Rosewill till I ordered my 7200 RPM laptop harddrive. It came with a free Rosewill enclosure. Very high quality enclosure BTW.

Interesting. I had never heard of Rosewill

Yeah they were sort of a laughing stock a couple of years ago. Seems they have made some fairly large quality improvements while mostly maintaining the low prices, based on reviews that I have seen.
