1229733 2011-09-08 10:36:00 OK then I recommend aiming for a at least a 265 or a 555. icow (15313)
1229734 2011-09-08 10:41:00 Oh yea, I already have the hdd, dvd drive and wireless card. Oh BTW does the board have 20 pin and 4 pin ps connections? Cos I really can't afford a second power supply. skeptile2 (16539)
1229735 2011-09-08 10:45:00 The mobo you listed has a 1 x 24-pin EATX Power connector(s) but a 20 pin should work. Altho it may depend on how many watts the PSU is (and the brand that you've got). And what you install in the case later Speedy Gonzales (78)
1229736 2011-09-08 10:50:00 The PSU is 330 W, but it has 2 motherboard connections, a four pin and a twenty pin. Is there a converter that i could get? skeptile2 (16539)
1229737 2011-09-08 10:53:00 I would replace the PSU. Anything under 400 watts will probably die / fail sooner or later. Or something will fail (that you connect to the mobo). And if its a Hyena power supply, I would definitely replace it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1229738 2011-09-08 10:58:00 Ok so if u get the CPU, 4 gigs ddr3, mobo, and a new power supply, approx how much money are we talking here? skeptile2 (16539)
1229739 2011-09-08 11:08:00 That depends on where you are / live. Are you in NZ or somewhere else? If you're in NZ, there's a few prices here (pricespy.co.nz). The mobo isnt too bad, you may get the PSU for $80-90. You may have to find another CPU tho. Since, I dont think the 7550 will work on the mobo you posted. The ram (depending on where you get it / and the brand maybe $90 or more for 2x2 GB) Speedy Gonzales (78)
1229740 2011-09-08 19:50:00 Does an enermax tomahawk 400W power supply sound good? I'm in Wellington btw :) does anyone have any ideas for a CPU that's also under$150? skeptile2 (16539)
1229741 2011-09-08 21:05:00 Stretch to $155, its worth it. www.elive.co.nz
Yeah enermax is good (from what ive heard).

1229742 2011-09-08 21:21:00 Ok cool about enermax, I think ill get that one then. I don't need a quad core, so thats why I was looking at an athlon, but if there's a quad core for about the same price then that's good. skeptile2 (16539)
