AM2 System spec - ordering soon *advice pls*

[salami1212]

Ok, im ordering an am2 system for cheap, instead of conroe, because the upgradeability and the case are good. the spec needs to be under £400. the only thing im not sure of is the psu which i might get from the mm, as i want it to be under £50 and 500w or more and quiet. I have a 6800gt aswell with me now. is there anything i should change?

well i have pretty much the same spec but with a 3800+ and a nvidia 7600GT, i got an antec sonata 2 case which has a 450w psu of good quality, and that is plenty enough for my system, you realy dont need 500W+ especially if you dont have a graphics card to take up loadsa power and you only have 1 hd, you could easily get away with a 350W powers suply, let alone 500w, still, some good cheap power supplies (if you dont fancy the antec sonata 2) are enermax.

but, im not gonna change this spec for a long time, so when i upgrade the gpu to a x1900xt or something and to a fx62(when the price is right ) then i would NEED 500watt
