Sup guys. i need some opinions on this new computer built that im planning.
First of all im didn't plan on a new built. im only doing this cuz im an idiot. lol.
my old set up:
amd 2500+ barton (OC to 2.0ghz, 2700+)
asus a7n8x deluxe mobo
ati radeon 9600pro
1.5gb corsair ram
19" WS monitor at 1440x900 display.
My PSU that came with my antec case finally started to screech real bad after almost 8 years of use. so i bought a new PSU last week. when it came i tried to install it but can't. the new ATX style power plug won't fit the old style ATX slot. so i felt like an idiot now buying it while not up to date since the day (2003) i built it.
So now i just want to put my new PSU to use (cuz i don't want to buy it for nothing) and finally get a big upgrade.
this is what im thinking:
-Intel C2D E7200 (might OC to 3.16ghz, yup i did my research a lil, e7200 is a good for OC)
~Asus P5Q Pro Turbo mobo click here for details
~Nvidia GeForce 9800GT click here
~Corsair XMS 4GB ram click here
~same monitor
~with this power supply ----> click here
So my question is, can the PSU that i already have (new) can support this setup. Im not a hardcore gamer but i do look forward to play CS:Source and the new call of duty games, since my old can't handle none of that.
Im also considering this GeForce GTS 250 GPU with the same PSU. im planning to stay with the Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU and also the Asus mobo. remember, the only thing i bought so far is the PSU.
Any opinions would be greatly be helpful. Thank You!!!
