Check my upgrade please

[Nutbusta]

I currently run the rig below with an enermax 460w PSU.

I was hoping to upgrade to:
Intel 805 Smithfield &
Asus P4P800 Mobo

Re-using my X850XTPE, Ballistix and PSU.

My PSU has only the older style connectors: 20pin ATX, P4 and no SATA's

Will this run the new board?

Assuming I'm able to get the new setup up to 4GHz, what speeds will I be able to run my RAM? It runs at either 245, 2.5, 2, 2, 5 or 260, 2.5, 3, 3, 6

Yes you will be able to run your new CPU and motherboard on that PSU however you will need a 20-24pin adapter for the motherboard.

mate for gods sake cancel the processor order and go with the e6600, you are wasting money for megahertz that a. wont make a huge difference in performance, and b can be matched with some easy overclocking (thei conroes overclock like nothing else.)

when you have saved 500 quid go to the local brothel and pay for a threesome with two stunning thai whores dont spendz it on an extra few hundred mhz lol

Thanks, good to know.

I haven't ordered anything yet and I appreciate that, but the idea is that I can upgrade for just over a ton by re using my Video, Ram and Psu. I assume I'll deffo need to replace them all if I fork out the extra £60 on a E6300?

I can't help but think you've missed the point. I enquired about a chip that costs £80 and you're recommending one that costs £250? I'd buy one if I could justify it but it's still a lot of money.

BTW, my wifes Indian and dirty as a minx

Sorry I obviously wasn't paying enough attention before and I don't know enough about Intels but you are trying to pair a socket 775 chip with a socket 478 motherboard. I rather assumed that you had checked this first . If you are going to go for the 805 then you will have to upgrade the graphics card and the Ram as it needs DDR2(or at least I don't know if there are any motherboards for 775 that support DDR).

The PSU is still fine with an adapter so I can stand by that part of my post.

You scare me.

Yeah but I guess I'd be worried if he didn't want to have a pair of beautiful women at the same time, don't we all? Although Semi-pro, you're not hankering after a little lady-boy are you?

But seriously though, you spotted my error. I mean't P5P800. Which does support DDR1 and AGP with modern socket 775 (although, not Conroe of course)

Thanks, I appreciate the offer, not much, but you were thinking of me which was nice. I'll leave the lady-boys to you and HUGEKEBAB

Ah ok then, bit confusing with the motherboards all having such similar names. It all looks fine now as far as I am aware.
